As you all know I have been off since July when I had my heart attack. THe endo I am seeing has been dragging me on since then. Its been 6 months. The thing is, my test levels went up on their own about 2 months ago and for the first time my LH levels were readable. The endo is making me go back in 2 more weeks and get retested again since I showed some improvement. TO BE HONEST, I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND A DOCTOR WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT MY HEALTH AND DIDNT DO THE EASY THING BY JUST WRITING ME OUT A SCRIPT FOR TEST. IT LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT RECOVER ON MY OWN, JUST TOOK A HELL OF A LONG TIME.The doc says she has seen it take almost 1 year to totally recover. I had LH levels that were undetectable and test levels of a baby girl at first, but its slowly coming back.
I think you are making a mistake trying to put yourself on a lifelong HRT dose if you do not need it. You must also consider the risk to your health you are taking when you do these things. I for one wish I had thought more about that, but for me its too late.
