    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Thanks. What prescription AIs have you used besides Anastrozole? Have you tried Metformin? What drugs/supplements and dosages have you found to be effective for you?

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    That's what I'm trying to do, but still monitoring the number would help because overdosing causes same symptoms as underdosing. So far even 0.040mg (40mcg) of Anastrozole seems to have some effect. I think when I build tolerance - a higher dose will be required...

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    People that the guy on the video talks about - care about numbers for the sake of numbers. But I know what E2 number actually causes a specific symptom - no erections and libido. And since noone offers a solution of how to achieve that E2 number otherwise, I'm seeking Anastrozole and a way of...

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Thanks but I don't care about E2 numbers. My erections and libido are only decent when there's an appropriate E2 levels (or maybe T to E2 ratio). That's why I'm trying to keep E2 at a certain level that I noticed is good for me. So the guy on the video says Metformin is better. Do you know what...

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Nonexistent libido and bad erections, just like when my E2 is low.

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    As far as I know Zinc also raises DHT. So higher DHT doesn't help with libido as much as higher E2 for you?

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Damn, so expensive. Plus I'm not in US (although originally from US) so it's not available here. Any cheap female test strips?

    Is that the female menopause saliva test ?

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Neither of these is my symptom, at least I can't distinguish one. I've tried T cream to scrotum in the past - it raised my DHT insanely high which caused rapid hair loss... I'm now scared of high DHT and trying to keep DHT in check. Is DHEA considered to be a DHT derivative? Prior to...

    Indirect way of monitoring E2 without blood test?

    Is there any indirect or rough test for Estradiol while on TRT besides bloodwork? Will pregnancy test strips (or any other home tests) show even rough range? I'm having very hard time adjusting Anastrozole dosage since I'm very sensitive to Anastrozole and I don't have any nipple sensitivity as...

    DHT: How High is Too High

    Are there links on how high free T causes hair loss?

    DHT: How High is Too High

    No, I didn't decrease injection dose. Why free T and not DHT responsible for hair loss? Isn't DHT the main hormonal culprit for hair loss?

    DHT: How High is Too High

    In my case DHT was the major catalyst. My hair was thick untill I started T cream to scrotum in addition to Cyp, as instructed by my doctor. My DHT was over 100, and this is when my hair rapidly started to gray and fall out. I'm back to TRT without cream to scrotum this time and I think I can't...

    DHT: How High is Too High

    This is how I lost my hair. Cream to scrotum. Nobody talks about hair loss due to DHT in this thread...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
