testosterone articles (how it affects your cycle)

[gizmo77]

i found a couple articles on too much testosterone in women and how it affects their cycles. i know swaying says to increase testosterone but this just reminded me that it should still be at NORMAL levels (for your body type..and who knows what exactly THAT is!!). i guess we just have to experiment if we're taking T supplements prior to attempt.
i had a coworker who was an avid runner/athlete. it took her FOREVER to get pregnant. she had to take all these shots. and i remember another coworker telling her to "stop running around acting like a boy." i think she said she barely got her period, or they were short. anyway she finally was able to conceive with medical support and had a boy! this was like 10 yrs ago.

Ok well I have definately had a chance in oily skin, breakouts and the last few days while showering I am losing lots of hair??!!

I'm now wanting to get my hormone levels checked again, I'm hoping my testosterone isn't too high that I can't get pregnant.
I have excess body hair, my Dr had blood work taken to see what was going on and she said it's just hereditary and my testosterone is ok but the hair growth was from high Estrogen. She wasn't a very good Dr which meant I had to change Dr's so I wonder if what she told me is correct???

I would def get it checked again if you do not feel right? Only places I have more hair are my legs and my pubic hair seems darker and thicker? Head hair seems to be coming out though lol

I am a bit nervous about my girl sway. I hope I did enough T lowering things to help me out. I have a lot of the descriptions of high T levels. Not sure if there is anything else I can do.

I've had it for years, it's not from a boy diet or anything like that. My dr had me on medication but since I stopped it to get pregnant it has grown back worse than it ever was.
My head hair falls out a lot too, I'm constantly sweeping the bathroom and my partner notices it everywhere too...is that a testosterone problem?

I am not sure?

Hmm well I don't mind if it's high cos that's good for a boy, I just don't want it too high that I can't get PG or any of my other hormones are out of whack effecting me too. I will see the dr about a blood test, not sure when it my cycle they'd want me to do it, hopefully I haven't missed that window and have to wait til next month!

You have good cycles don't you? x
