First time poster here, long time lurker. You guys have helped me with getting started on trt and it has been life changing for sure. Most all of my research and education came from this board. You guys are awesome.
I have question that I know you all can help with. My wife is avid lifter for many yrs. Not a competitor but trains/eats in similar fashion. Mid 50's but looks/trains much younger. Post menopausal for 2 yrs now.. she has developed significant joint pain in multiple joints, struggling to even maintain strength/muscle, much harder to regulate body comp., etc. Of course, some of this comes with the territory but as most of us on this board feel, we aren't going down the aging trail w/o a fight. She just had blood panel done and here are results:
Total test.=8
Progesterone=less <.5 (undetectable)
Thyroid Peroxidose Antibodies=67 (Dr mentioned could be indicative of Hashimoto's)
FSH=145.3
T4=7
T3=3
Estradiol=<15
Iodine=46
As much as I've learned from you about men's bloodwork and supplementation around that, I can't find as much on the female side. Can any of you offer suggestions/advice/opinion/experience on what you would do based on above results? Thanks in advance!!
