I originaly posted in the women's forum but no help there.
First she is in good health and works out with "Core" type work outs 3 times a week. She is 36.
We have a great sex life BUT her sex drive is lacking. Sometimes a little more fatigued than she should be.
These symptoms were horrible before but she is now taking 20mg of natural porgesterone cream. The progesterone brought great benefits and eleviated many of her symptons.
Her problems started after her first pregnancy and she wasdiagnosed as Hypothyroid and takes .175mcg of synthroid. This was 10 years ago.
Her diet and vitamin suplementation is great. Cardio fitness is great. She has better than average muscle tone due to her dedication to stay fit but in my opinion her efforts are greater than her results.
No financial, marital or family problems.
Her PREVIOUS lab work without progesterone supplementation 11/01/07. She was feeling very lethargic and the sex life was not there.
