Sorry I haven’t been around been busy trying to get things in order over here fighting with this POS computer and enjoying a new boyfriend when i get to see him. Finally got a doc to pull my labs on my hormones getting referred to more doctors. Testosterone was at 213.. way out of normal range for a woman. They think its cancer or something adrenal.Neg on the polycystic. I’m hoping its either low estrogen or an aromatase deficiency. In the mean time besides black cohosh does anyone have any suggestions to help with my natural estrogen or aromatase levels? Pretty sad girl right now. Also apparently had a run in with swine flu. Does a friggin number on your stomach. I miss you guys and I’ve been testing molecule c lately but still havent figured it out. ---

Also Edamame (steamed soy beans). You can get them in most grocery stores frozen. Just defrost, microwave to heat a little, sprinkle with salt & eat… Soy beans have natural plant estrogen in them. They also help with a lot of menopausal symptoms. Sorry to hear about the Swine Flu thing girl. I hope you are on the mend! 😃 ---

I’m looking for a natural way to boost my native est levels I’m capable of producing estrogen still its just low.Soy can actually be bad. it actually interferes with one of the medications used for treating breast cancer. lol yeah the old bf went out the window after coming home the day my mother dr told her she might have cancer and telling me the relationship wasn’t worth it.poor timing I left for 3 weeks pretty much was homeless and met a new guy. New bf and I talked today hes like I love you no matter what so that side of things is ok.Actually seems to be pretty serious.Hes a really good man from what I’ve seen so far anyway. Definately on the mend tummy still hurts but less of the other icky stuff. Its kind of funny a lot of my random medical quirks are linked to the testosterone issue. ---

There are many out there, but Vitex is a herb that balances the hormones powerfully. It can cancel out the pill, so don’t combine the two. ---

Electra, don’t let this get left on the back burner. I am all for natural supplements & alternative treatments, in particular for issues like hormonal imbalances. _BUT_… although high testosterone levels in women can sometimes be caused by hormone imbalance, this is typically only moderate elevations of testosterone levels. When levels go above 150 that typically indicates adrenal tumors or ovarian androgen secreting tumours (these are less common though). By all means take natural supplements to lower you testosterone and/or increase your oestrogen levels, but please make sure your Doc runs all the relevant tests & scans to rule out malignancy (not all of these tumours are malignant but they can still cause you alot of problems). ---

of my female friends with higher than average testosterone, I think they just used more sex to try and burn it off. Until they figure out the cause, use it work out more you will find more gains in your workouts, and find it good for your looks in easily gaining lean muscle. ---

\>.\> no comment lol @ wolfy’s remark. Musk: Dead on. Darkening bodily hair,hair loss acne and deepening voice as well as changes in body shape. T is used for female to male gender change so its really very masculinizing in high amounts in a woman. While I don’t mind the weight loss that apparently goes along with this or the deeper voice.. Ahem i was tired of sounding like a little kid anyhow lol still pretty much squeaky and girly singing is better though. Pros: Weightloss. Proportions are balancing out. No period.No need for BC pills.Mood is more stable not missing the pms and weepy stuff. Cons: Hair Darkening and growth where there shouldn’t be hair. Hair loss where there should be. Libido is up but to the point that sex seems pointless. I always liked sex before now I’m almost fridgid physically which is odd because I’m still feeling fiesty 24/7. I’d guess in the high end of normal for girls its a good thing but too high and ya its bad for sexuality. Becoming mono-orgasmic or anaorgasmic sucks especially for someone that hasn’t ever had that particular issue before.Frankly its like waking up and not having your dick work er just so you guys get me. lol Hmm, though I may have more sympathy for your refractory period now. Cancer.. Eh yeah levels this high in a woman tend to be bad news one way or nother. Oh.. And loss of skin softness. As for lean muscle. I’ve always tended to bulk from even minor exercises.However I am looking into going to a good gym out here anyhow.I really wouldn’t mind being a buff litle thing. I guess right now one of my biggest problems with the whole thing is not knowing exactly what the deal is.If I know well then I can deal. I mean my base line dhea-s is low but my testosterone is high and I have symptoms of high estrogen levels too and yet normal prolactin levels so basically something is seriously WHACK. Not to mention my [pheromone](https://a314.com/shop/) output naturally is likely all sorts of odd too. Oi and thankyou everyone for your replies and thoughts I really seriously appreciate it. 😃 Oh, about black cohosh dunno if i mentioned it or not I’ve tried it before a few times. It always makes me go off like a freshly lit firecracker. Major rage fits,hypersensitivity,eyetwitchy goodness so I won’t touch the stuff. I will give the chasteberry/vitex and yam ideas a try though. Next tuesday I’m seeing an internist for referalls to specialists. My Dr actually looked at my labs and went over my history and was like eep ok thats it I’m refering you to the guy who taught me hes smarter and you’re one complicated cookie. So er yeah lol neeeeww Dr. old doc was cool and listened to me so hopefully the new doc will be too.
