Re: can I swear on here, becuz if i can...
thank you Sal for your sympathetic response:)
Can you answer a few questions?
How old are you? 36
Are you or have been on birth control pills? I was on BCP but have been off for well over 4 years (my son is 4 1/2) I was on YAZ.
Have you had your thyroid checked? TSH, Free T3, Free T3
antibodies, and reverse T3? I know i've had my thyroid tested but to what extent, I do no know. I may try to get an appt today to get it checked.
I am in the same boat about the weight. But, I am a 56 year old female, having gone through adrenal fatigue in the first 1-2 phases and now in a severe stage, I have gained 30
pounds over the past 5 years and like you I have eaten very healthy, low carb, plently of veggies and lean protein.
Apparently, all the times I've had high cortisol, this inhibits the thyroid T4 from converting into T3, and you can't loose weight. I did not know this till last year.
Also, birth control pills ( which is pure estrogen) causes an estrogen dominance and makes one gain weight. I took this during my late 20's and gained 15
pounds the first year. Please answer the question in a reply to me.
as far as BCP, i am taking progesterone because i was estrogen dominant. I've been taking P for a few months now. I take 100 mg's (caspules) i'm still not sleeping on my own so dr said we might need to tweak P to higher doese
