Hey everybody :)
I recently did tests, partly prescribed by my psychiatrist (TSH, Cortisol, Free Testosterone). I added some others. I regret estrogen or prolactin were not included but I keep prolactin in check by not masturbating too much. They were done 2 weeks after I stopped all supplements (pregnenolone, taurine, niacinamide, zinc, theanine, peppermint essential oil)
I'm 28 and have a history of undiagnosed cyclothymic depression and anxiety. I'm lean ( 1m85 for 70kg, ~ 6ft 1in for 154 lbs) and my muscles are easily apparent. I exercise at least 3 times a week (bouldering, running, yoga) and walk a lot. I try to avoid PUFAs, eat more meat proteins, add more fruits, honey and sugar in my food, and also lot of olive oil, butter. I avoid pasta/bread carbs. I also try to avoid caffeine because it gets me anxious or spaced out.
Here are results and the lab ranges (sometimes, they seem exaggerate)
Progesterone : 0.26 ug/l (supposed to be lower than 0.05-0.15 for men. Maybe the cause of my varicose veins in the left leg?)
SDHA : 9.98 umol/l (4.35-12.2)
Pregnenolone :
- 0.4 ng/mL (0.2-0.6)
- 1.26 nmol/L (0.63-1.89)
TSH : 2.18 (it was 2.63 before so I guess I made a progression on this one)
Cortisol : 392 nmol/L ( in the morning, normal range 165 - 510 nmol/L )
SHBG : 36.8 nmol/L (18-54)
Free Testosterone :
- 17.4 pg/mL (8-40)
- 60.3 pmol/L (29-139)
So these are the lab range, but what do the peatians think of these values ? Doesn't the high progesterone mean I may be getting too much estrogens (even though I now take aromatase inhibitor like zinc, niacinamide, grape/pomegranate juice, olive oil) ? Can it be a result of weeks of oral and / or scrotum application of pregnenolone, even two weeks after ?
Thanks for any clarification ! :)
