Title: Thyroid etc
Post by: bluebird68 on November 10, 2025, 02:53:11 PM
Hi Ladies,

Because I haven't been feeling well for years and getting no obvious benefits from HRT I went private and had comprehensive blood tests.

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies high 75.6
Parathyroid hormone 1.2 Low
Phosphate 0.79 Low
B12 High 905



Estradiol 678 pmol/I
Progesterone 51.5 nmol/I


I'm in 100 mcg patch
200 micronised progesterone last few weeks

Chronic fatigue
Depression
Since progesterone feeling hot occasionally
Hair loss

Waiting for an appointment to see what next?

Anyone had this?

I have been up and down gp for years only to be told it's most likely menopause and perhaps some of it is and look at your lifestyle

I will feed back when investigation completed as it may help someone else.



Thanks

Ask your GP for a referral to a dedicated menopause clinic - she/he is talking rubbish.

Thyroid is a hormone which can be affected at peri-menopause. Who R U waiting for an appt with?  Hopefully some1 will be along with knowledge of thyroid.

Hi CLKD thank you for responding. I have booked an appointment with a private menopause clinic next week and have had a message today from surgery saying book a routine appointment. Honestly it's draining.
