Since being on last protcol I was feeling good untill I got to the 3 week. I do not know if my e2 is kicking up or if it is going down that is magical question. I feel like a mindless zombie no emotions at all, and gaining fat not even trying, constipated as all can be and stomach is all bloated out and no desire to eat..Funny how my copper serum finally started to come up with rise of estrogen and not even taking copper via supplement. I found this amazing discovery and it is noted on birth control pills that it may raise copper serums. I am having unusal muscle spasms and twitched which could be related to calcium, magnesium, potassium imbalances. IF I could just resolve this nasty constipation it will help alleviate alot of discomfort and undue stress on my liver as well as increase estrogen metabolism.. I know its not fiber related or not from drinking not enough water. i take in 25-35 grams of fiber with blueberries, hempseeds, veggies, brocoolli, buckwheat ect and drink 3 quarts of water a day (1 gallon).
Diet is all low glycmic carbs, lean proteins, EFAs, cocconut oil, veggies, ect. Every thing is on target. I goto bed by 10-11 each night and sit and mediate or listen to relaxing music an hour before going to bed to unwind (so stress is not a factor). On many urine test it shows that I have low gaba and also low serotonin levels despite using 5 htp, sam-e, mangeisum, vitamin D , ect. For some reason serotonin is not being turned over and when I researched this too much or not enough e2 could produce the same results. Having consitant low homocysteine levels for extended time (<5) concern one of the drs I was working with because it identified that my detoxification could be severely affected mainly gluthione levels which where low on WBC testing. How ever e2 can increase gluthione levels due to its protective mechanism in the brain, but if too much it can depelte them as well due to oxidative stress. A neat thing was that I always had elevated rt3 it was not untill I added hcg and armidex to the mix that they actually started to lower them as well as increased my zinc levels as well. This shows that increase of progesterone was mostlikely resolved my low zinc levels as well as zinc defiecncy is directly related to rt3 as well..I began this journal as a learning expreince of dos and don't during TRT. Right now all DIM has been cut for past 3 weeks and on 4 th week I am going to test being on iodoral 50mgs for 2 months about its impact on e2 metabolism. iodine dioes the same thing as DIm does but if there is a chance of androgen down regulation this will not happen with iodine..But these avenues need to be futher explored before some kind of out come is determined. ALL I know that stoping the DIM and doing the iodone my piss really still stinks liek it did on the dim but more so its all the time and not only in the morning from the DIM..This is very promising news !
What can I expect from the preg creame seeing that I am low thyroid with low cholesterol..And will this actually alter some of the meds I may be taking as well.
