hi everyone ,
i am posting my routine from the aimoo board here, i have done this for 2 cycles, currently i am on a break coz i had my periods on day 43 last cycle along with sore and lumpy boobs. so i decided to take a cycle off and use only preg/progesterone to get back to normal hormone levels.
body type- nurturer, cycle--32-35 days, heavy bleeding, total duration- 5 days, with bad cramps on day 1
blood group-- B+ age-24
cup size-- 34A, ethnicity-- asian, height-- 5'3, weight- 52-53 kgs, stats-- 35-26.5-37
acc to Dr. Lee's hormone balance test i am progesterone deficient, oestrogen dominant and have excess androgens. i did a blood test in NOV '02 on day 22 of my cycle, acc. to which i have low oestrogen and very low progesterone. here are my test results--
T3 0.95ng/ml N- .75-1.9
T4 7.98mcg/dl N-5--13
TSH 2 mIU/ml N -- 0.4-6.8
progesterone 0.89ng/ml normal in luteal phase--4-25 ( done on day 19 of my cycle)
testosterone -- 0.80ng/ml normal in female -- 0.1-12
cortisol(morning)-- 12.19ug/dl N-- 7-24
estradiol-- 59.4 pg/ml normal in luteal phase-- 50-150 ( done on day 22 of my cycle)
DHEAS -- 94.5mcg/dl normal in women 60-200
started BE-- 13th august 2003 with
BO- 1800 mg ( in first cycle, i used 1800- follicular, 2250- luteal, prog days 21-28, this gave few itches and pre-AF lumps which went away with AF. in the 2nd cycle i used 1800 mg all throughout and prog 12-26, got few tingles in luteal phase, again lumps, laaate periods on day 43)
SP - 4640 mg ( tried to bring down dose mid-cycle and spotted immediately, now continuing with this dose)
pregnenolone- 50 mg every alternate day
progesterone- 40 mg days 12-26
massages-- twice daily with fenugreek/fennel foll by heat pack 15 mins a day when i find time, dry massages 3-4 times for a few seconds.
i feel 1800 mg BO is too much for me as i got lumps and late periods even after using progesterone. so after my 1 mth break i plan to use--
BO-1500 mg, preg-- 50 mg alt days, prog--40 mg 14-28, SP-- 3480 mg , massages with RC,hops and WY, protein shakes and other vit. supplements. i have kept damiana in waiting, though i wont need it now coz i am starting out very low in prog.
any suggestions are most welcome.
