And the BLOOD results are in :)

So my blood results are in...I was 1. not taking any estrogen or progestrone the last 4-6 months.  2. Feeling great except for 3. my eye sight was getting worse and my skin was less elastic.  4. barely having hot flashes...sometimes I even got COLD flashes.  

Overall:  I need a little estrogen and should be taking progesterone to help as well.  My Vitamin D was LOW so I am on 50,000 I.U. of Vitamin D3 a week and my estrogen was virtually non-existent! 

BLOOD!

So Blood Test Today... had to use both arms. Blek.

My right arm wasn't working too well  as you can see by the video below, but I took a breather, cooled off and lay down and a few minutes later the left arm went smoothly.


Warning: If you are squeamish or don't like blood be prepared.

So I started Testosterone...

A couple of months ago I began taking testosterone as an experiment to see how it would effect me.  After two months on 3.0mg/day Testosterone and two months off Testosterone I am into my second testing of Testosterone.  This time my dosage is 2.0mg per day.

Upon completing the first round of Testosterone 3.0mg/day, I decided to discontinue the hormone for the following reasons.  

1. Minimal additional hair growth.  Which I don't need.

2. Possibly additional hair pigmentation, but not enough to notice

3. A little more energy/ bordering on too much.  Kept me awake longer and I slept less.  Very light sensitive.

4. Would get one major hot flash a day.  

However,  once I was off the Testosterone and Back onto the Estrogen/Progesterone only regiment I became more emotional, and very tired.  

So when it was time to re-order my prescription I decided to try Testosterone again.  This time, as stated before I chose 2.0mg/day.

I am in the middle of this regiment,  so far I like the addition of Testosterone.  I think.  It is very difficult to decipher the difference between hormones.  Yesterday, I felt like my hormones were off.  This might have been because I did not put my hormones on until around noon(1200) and the day before, Saturday 11/06/2011  I put my hormones on at 6am 0600.  I feel the time difference in hormone application had an effect on my emotions.
