hi, yes I have been on metformin before, I mention that on previous page. My blood sugar was elevated, did 2 hr glucose test two years ago.
I scaled back my training. I still do every day, few days week 20-30 min cardio, the rest weights only.
my latest blood tests indicated higer testosterone, my doctor is lil concerned. I also see higher estrogen and progesterone . Feel heavier and what bothers me a lot is breast swell and tenderness, never had this before.
my weight is about 128lb 5’6"

Hi KSman and everyone,
I want to give some update about my hormonal issue. I haven’t had regular period for long long time. I’m 35 female. The last period I got was after I upped my thyroid dosage, which was in december; since then I haven’t had my period again. I got my blood work done last week and I was wondering if you can give me an opinion.
The problem - no period, swollen tender heavy breast, feel heavier, ehh. So flustruated.
My total testosteron is over the normal range.
Hemoglobin A1C 4.9 normal range <5.7
Prolactin 5.3 normal range 3.0- 30.0
TSH 0.01 normal range 0.4-4.5
T4 total 9.5 normal range 4.5- 12.0
T3 total 126 normal range 76-181
Estrogen total serum 738 normal range early follicular 70-400: late folicullar 100-900; luteal 70-700
Progesterone 21.2 normal range folicular <1.0 ; luteal 2.6-21.5 ; post menopausal <0.5
Testosterone total 72 normal 2-45
testosterone free 3.0 normal 0.1-6.4
Currently on 25 mcg cytomel, 125 mcg synthroid, 1000mg metformin.
Appreciate your input.

This is so weird.!!! Please read !!!I had only one period in the last year (december) in January my doctor ordered tests , my progesterone was <0.5 and estrradiol 40. I was on low low side. In March I have done the blood tests that I posted as a last test and as you can see my estrogen, progesteron are on higer side and Testosteron elevated.
My breast were swollen for the last week and so tender. I took the pregnancy test just because I was curious, believing it will come out negative as I was ammenorhetic and it came out POSITIVE , shock. Bought another 2 tests and all of them POSITIVE. WOW. Not saying Im not happy, just amazed. Is it possible to have positive tests and be not pregnant. I and my hubby didn’t have much sex for the last month. How do I find out how far I am?
thank you
I can see that you are a bit freaked out.
With the labs above, you seem to have enough progesterone, but your breasts are acting like you are very estrogen dominant. I would normally suggest progesterone cream as it can be very effective for that issue.
You are either pregnant or have an hCG secreting tumor/adinoma. But women on a hCG diet would always be positive.
You can search for things like: Management of Nonpregnant Women with Elevated Human Chorionic Gonadotropin
And you could get an ultrasound scan at some point soon when things might be detectable.
What’s up with your body temperatures?
the doctor confirmed pregnancy, but I have next to the embryo cyst that needs to be rule out.
I had to laugh at how this turned out.
You come to a meat-head forum asking about really complex stuff that we just have no clue about. Get a little upset at us for not responding and then end up preggers.
It’s really no wonder you didn’t get much of a response. This whole things is just a tick outside our wheelhouse. Good luck!
Yes, that caught me. This is a new chapter!
Iodine RDA’s are higher during pregnancy. Thyroid management may take on new concerns that I have never considered.
Check back in and keep us up to date. Wishing all the best for you two and hubby too!
