German words symptoms and conditions

@ bitterRN!!

Hi you! Hope you're still there!?

Just wanted to let you know the results of my bloodwork of last week (hormonal test):

LH 3,27 mUL/ml
FSH 5,38 mUl/ml
Estradiol 38,36 pg/ml
Prolaktin 26,00 ng/ml
Testosteron 0,37 ng/ml

I'm sorry, I don't know the english words for the above... I hope it's nearly similar to the german words and you know what those results mean...?

A few weeks ago you mentioned a thought about low testosterone. Does that sound low to you? (Don't have any idea about those results, yet... I have a telephone appointment with my gyn in about 3 hours to talk about it.)

Thank you in advance!!

Best wishes

Hi Sherry,

well, I found this woman by searching over www.google.de. That's where I go, when I'm totally down again (and believe me, it's NOT only a FEW days a month but much more often!!!) and don't know how to go on with all that sh....

There I type in my problems and see, what results I get. And that's how I found this woman (I typed in something like "weight gain" and "getting off bcp", well, just in german words). She wrote her story in a German forum about bcps, just similar to medications.com.

Perhaps this could be a way to help you, too, just to search google or another search engine to find much more women who perhaps have gone through the same as we do, and hopefully are back to normal weight and mental feelings again....

Well, Agnus Castus didn't help that good as I would have wished. Didn't get my period, yet, even after taking Agnus Castus over 4 months now... Perhaps it has eased up the mental problems a little bit, but I can't say if time would have eased up this problems by itself even without Agnus Castus as well...

I think within the next 2 months I will have to go again to my gyn and see, what we can do next... There is a new therapy here in Germany, don't know if in USA too, but I think so. They give you a medicine called "metformin", which is usually given to help for diabetes and such. It shall bring your hormones back in balance and help for pcos. My doctor already in July mentioned this as another chance for me, if Agnus Castus won't help getting my period. I don't know what to do, because I'm really afraid of any kind of chemical medicine after this horror trip with Yasmin...

Perhaps this metformin maybe another chance either for you Sherry; eventually you should ask your doctor about that, too or search the internet for more information about that.

All the best and big hugs to everybody!!
