Unleashed for Women???

Purely for discussion purposes but isn't aromasin suicidal? It wacks out like 85-90%.

I think even with girls, extra estrogen is caca.

I think a little forma would do the trick. LADIES, what do you think?

Would love to figure this out with you, Burn.

I actually had my progesterone raised in order to lose weight...and my estrogen was through the floor but adding est has too many potentially bad sides
also...my test was high...above range..and that screws me by giving me a more traditional bf composition of a man (love handles/belly fat)

what wound up being key for me was a progesterone cream (prescribed but legit stuff can be over the counter) and getting my insulin levels in check...I had to go NO carb to reverse that
and still can't go above 50 grams without stalling



weight training does far far more for me than cardio...for what its worth

So you're saying to raise progesterone and lower estrogen? Aromasin and forma would certainly squash some estrogen.

yeah maybe...one thing I do know is it can be complicated for women because of cyclic hormones
I had to go for repeated blood draws as well as saliva testing (controversial) and a 24 hr urine collection (gross!)

if you looked at my hormonal profile at face value I should be a fat trimming muscle building machine of my gender...and while I build muscle easily the fat burning not so much

I think extra est in women sucks too..the progesterone to get me to normal levels on the other hand seemed to be really key ...and eliminated pretty much all pms too!q

How does a woman increase progesterone?

 

[shirlene29]

transdermal usp progesterone is available sans script and is perfectly legal

Wow. Now we're getting somewhere.

Lots of interesting info people!

i think the first thing is I'm going to hold off anything except the unleashed until she gets her thyroid taken out. At that point she can also play with her T4 dose to drop some BF% because she knows she can tolerate a huge dose of T4 so adding an extra 25-50 mcg to her replacement dose would be nothing. But thats down the road.

I cant wait to get her on track because to look at her pysically (ill post pics for you ladies when she gets the bf% down post thyroid) she has enormous muscle structure and symetry. Her quads are huge and muscular, shoulders are very developed, bi's and tri's are one of her best features. Back is very wide and developed. The only things that really need to be addressed are her hams and pecs(<very weak pecs).

hey burn...see if her dr will give her a slow release t3 too...she'll feel much better with the addition

I have a compounded synthetic t4/t3 and a natural dessicated thyroid and they feel about the same to me whereas straight t4/synthroid makes me feel like shit

also if theres anyway she can avoid having the thyroid out she should explore it...I managed to just go with a lobe-ectomy and my dose is very small for it because I still make some natural thyroid horome

The problem is its enlarged and has been for a long time. Shes been on 225mcg levothyroxine(sp?) ED. last week it started actually hurting. She had an ultrasound yesterday and there was no significant change from 2 years ago. Dr. said it might be spasms?? But WTF? Today she got some arm numbness which she hasnt had since she was wicked hypo. So in the last week something has started happening.
Shes going to an ENT also asap.
