Re: Progesterone overdose- marianne

January 1, 2007

anne,... do you find that the high E effects your thyroid at all?

Are you on any thyroid meds? What does your E show on tests? Is your

SHBG high? Can't say definitively that high E has effected my thyroid,

I'm just eyeing it. Actually going on armour, 4 grains now, and

cortef, has made me more hypoT as it will when you need to increase.

And it seems as if I need less E now. I read in Philip Young's book on

thyroid, Thyroid, Guardian of Health, that E will fill the thyroid

receptors as it has a strong affinity. I'm thinking this is why I need

less E now that I am on armour. Not a lot less E, but I have been able

to give up my two shots of E gel before bed.

Thanks,

Eileen
