ladies and testos

My free and total testos levels are above normal and they really F things up for me.

Period disappeared.
Hair started thinning.
Put on Diane-35 and packed on the kgs and lost interest in gym and life.

My endo change my pill and lost weight...still about 8kgs to go.
I had long hair and chopped it short - above shoulder.
I feel like a weak ass in the gym.

Battling to shed the last few kgs and I can feel I've lost weight in my arms and stomach area but butt and legs still big like thunder, although they the only body part that feels stronger.

La Lucia gym crawling with peeps who will be competeting and I've seen some serious STRONG looking ladies with nice hair

What a mission it is to get someone to do a custom diet for you.



/end of rant.

Must be terrible if you had the need to rant so late last night. The pill is bad, they all are and all of them have nasty sides. A friend of mine had a copper coil inserted and reckons it is the best thing she has ever done. Hope things workout for you.

Not sure what this whole post is about. Did the pill you were on cause an increase in testosterone or do you have a hormone imbalance that the doc tried sorting out with other pill:confused:

I think it was just an introduction. Girl you need to remember we are men we can't read between the lines so if you have a question you need to ask it straight out!

Welcome to the forum. Higher than average testosterone alone does not cause hair loss or stop your periods. There must be something else going on. What is more important is the ratio of your hormone levels in respect to each other. That is when problems start.

You are seeing an endo so surely they have a better explanation than that? Other things besides SHY like low estrogen levels or a low ratio to test can also cause of thinning hair. What other symptoms do you have and why can't your endo help you out?

I saw a gynie and endo and they both said everything will go back to normal with the pill. I wasn't on the pill for about a year and that's when i started skipping periods - between 4 - 6 months at a time.

Everything else was fine - thyroid, iron levels and other female hormones. It was just my testos total and free that were slightly raised. Both gynie and endo didn't seem too concerned.

Just being put on one pill then Diane-35 and Diane-35 really screwed me over big time - depressed, lost interest in gym and life and packed on the pounds. A guy a gym warned me that i will blow up on Diane-35.

On different pill now and lost bit of weight Have about 8kgs to go.

First i thought maybe i wasn't eating enough - training twice a day, HIIT cardio in the mornings and weights in the afternoon but doesn't explain raised testos levels.

Maybe just genetics.

Anyways, it was more of a rant because some of the very strong looking females clearly take stuff and still sport nice thick hair.

Anyways, trying to get body back into shape, keeping an eye on my hair and trying to do things the healthy way - making sure i eat enough!

Next queston So i'm trying to shed weight and i'm heavy bottom - big bum, chunky thighs and big calves. Some of the guys at my gym said i should do high reps with low weights. I've always gone heavy in the past but now i'm wondering if my high reps and low weights would work better for me.

This is what i'm dealing with now...

When i was at my weight which i was happy with, my calves still looked huge. Almost same size as my thighs just about. Should i avoid doing any calves exercise that involve weights? I really don't want them to get bigger at all, if anything i would prefer to shrink them.

Firstly, your nick is very ironic...

Secondly, after reading your first post, I thought, ok, this woman is really bottom heavy, but then I saw your pics and now I'm wondering what are u on about??

But yes, higher reps, lower weight should help you lose that invisible weight you're desperately trying to lose

How is lighter weights with more reps better than lower volume with heavier weights? It's all dependent on the individual.

@Ironic nickname: <--- Joke I wouldn't do any exercises with your calves then. Calves are very genetic so unfortunately not much you can do about getting them smaller other than trying to lose muscle. Your body will decide where it wants to lose that muscle.

I'm thinking that coz she's been doing heavy weight all this time and that hasn't worked for her, so maybe switching it might?

She says she has been losing weight hey so it is probably working for her. Now she needs to get her diet spot on.

True. But honestly, based on her pics, pyro, do u really think she needs to lose?

It's not up to me to tell her what her target should be like. I will just help her to get wherever she wants to be. It's only if its clear someone has an eating disorder or so that I will step in. I am sure she will appreciate your comment though.

Nice Bum...

Train heavy and don't stop training calves. Nothing wrong with your bum or calves. Extra fat will drop off if training is intense enough.

@ Mike, what you gonna do with you China - lay off the testosterone :lol:

:lol: not on yet ...it gets worse when on... :lol:

i just want to get back to where i used to be which was was between 61-63kgs. Im 1.70m tall.

anyways, i'll keep on training heavy. I was just wondering since guys would say i should go light with about 20 reps .

Personal trainer gave me a diet to follow but im still keen on this ketogenic diet though.

ya, i saw that one. will tweak it a bit and have you guys check it out. thanks.

What pill are you on, if you don't mind me asking?

Im on Yasmin now. My gynie didn't want me to use Yasmin. He thinks it will be too weak for me. My endow put me on Yasmin. Will see how it goes... only on second pack. Keeping an eye on my hair. Have to have follow up bloods in Feb to check my manly hormones ;p

Do ask your doc about Yaz (think it's the same manufacturer as Yasmine). That's what I'm on. I must say, after the switch I definitely noticed a difference. After initially starting on the pill I gained 4kg's despite good diet/excercise. I have now dropped that weight and more. Also no more hairloss, although I have been supplementing with hair/skin/nails vitamins. According to my gynie Yaz is one of the best out there. Been on Yaz now for 5 months and I'm experiencing none of the usual sides - weight gain,hair loss,depression,moodiness etc Good luck though, hope you get it sorted!

Thanks. Will keep that one in mind. Think one of my mate on it and she's happy with it.
