@Kkol so could be a chronic low-grade simmering type of viral load perhaps. If you retest when he’s not sick, take a look to see if it follows a similar pattern.

@LAK yes working on stress reduction (mental/emotional, physical & also physiological) should be a priority. Give your body time to adjust. Chaste tree berry may be enough for now in the early phase of perimenopause as well before considering bHRT.

@Bahareh feel free to share her results here as well (of course, please remove her name & other identifying info to respect her privacy) if you need help puzzle piecing.

Yes, hormones are often affected by more upstream root causes and when those are addressed, the oral birth control will more than likely not be needed.

@Bahareh fibroids (either uterine or breast) are usually due to estrogen dominance, which is a result of 1 or all 3 of these scenarios:

1. Exposure to xenoestrogens – outside sources of estrogen from environmental chemicals like phthalates, glyphosate, triclosan, parabens, etc which have estrogenic effect in the body. You can share this post of…
