Hello,
I have been put on nebido by my endo but it doesn't seem to last for very long. Also my estridol levels aren't being monitored. I have some very light gyno naturally occuring from when i was a teen, i have been getting weird shooting pain in left pec, concerned gyno might be getting worse?
Anyway, here is the bloods.
this is before i started to treatment
Endo started me on nebido 1g once every 14 weeks, i felt awful at 12 weeks so had next injection then, this is bloods just before injection
started feeling shitty at about 9 weeks endo agreed to drop to 10 weeks, this is bloods after 10 weeks
had next appointment recently complained i was feeling lethargic etc she did bloods, dont have print out but at 6 weeks test level was the same as it was at 10 weeks.
So my t levels are crashing sometime at or before 6 weeks.
I requested to have my injection sooner but she has denied. I experience high e2 symptoms in second week, red face water renetion etc, requested estridol tested that was just ignored.
She has sent me for following investigations
diabetes inespidus testing - hmy blood plasma osmoality is 299, my urine osmolality is 1132, she suggested this means im dehydrated but i drink a fair amount of liquid.
short synacthen test - awaiting testing
genotyping - awaiting testing.
Is having this peak and then weeks for little or no testosterone going to cause me any health problems? (apart from feeling like crap) Should i be concerned my estridol levels arent being monitoried?
If all these tests come back negative and she wont reduce the frequency of investigation I am tempted to self medicate with a shorter ester and an AI, only issue is blood work, if my GP wont play ball there are no needle exchanges near me that offer bloods for steroid users. Private is very expensive but it seems i may have no other choice.
Apologies for spelling and formatting - not my strong point.
