Recently my endo and I were naive concerning E2 suppression. I was taking far to much Anastrazole nightly(.25mg). She was ordering non sensitive labs which reported normal levels. I developed significant myalgia in my R shoulder and inquired on this site for help. Ero and Coastwatcher suggested...

I've been donating blood regularly not only because it's a good thing to do, but because my hemotocrit is hovering around 50%. My question is, which do y'all think would be more effective to keep hematocrit under control, whole blood donations every 2 months or double red donations every 4...

I found this product claiming to suppress SHBG, thus freeing up testosterone. Its called "Unleashed" from Protein Factory. I get the majority of my protein supplements from them but am questioning its effectiveness. Has anyone tried Unleashed? And if so, did it work for you? I couldn't find the...

I realize this site primarily focuses on testosterone issues, but I've been having trouble maintaining a decent HDL level. I admire your 42, I only wish I could get there. Keep it up! I've started on a reduced nightly AI (0.035mg) 7 doses so far. E2 retest on 10 March. Good luck on reducing...

Thanks for the pharmacy link and update. I was just mistaken on the state. I'll contact them if need be. I'll also check on tablets instead of capsules.

I had my doctor order a month's supply of Anastrazole in 35mcg caps from my local compounding pharmacy. I'll follow Ero's suggestion and follow my symptoms rather than focus on E2 numbers. I'll most likely start the new caps Monday night and retest (sensitive) in 30 days. If I'm unhappy with the...

Yes for symptoms,(low libido, poor erections, weight gain and a little moody at times). Hopefully all will improve in a few weeks. I understand your opinion on symptoms instead of just E2 numbers and will pay less attention to numbers. I'll keep tracking my test results for future reference.

After my E2 plummeted after taking way too much Anastrozole (.25 mg nightly) for several months, I stopped Anastrazole completely 25 Dec. My E2 has recovered to 52 (level before I started E2 suppression therapy). I have an order in to my compounding pharmacy for Anastrazole 35 mcg caps. I...

Just sent you a PM

My doctors office is in Dublin, very close to 270 and Sawmill Rd. Message me directly and we can exchange info.

When my estradiol level plummeted a few months ago due to my excessive Anastrazole doses (.25mg nightly), y'all's opinion was that it was probably the cause of my severe myligia in my right shoulder. Since then I cut back to .25mg weekly, then as of 25 Dec I stopped Anastrazole completely. My...

I just got my ultra sensitive estradiol test results. As y'all know I was taking way too much Anastrazole at .25 mg nightly. Well after 3 weeks of .25mg once a week my estradiol reading is 12. I'm going to follow Ero's opinion and stop Anastrazole completely for a few weeks and let my estradiol...

I'm waiting for my results of my most recent estradiol test (22 Dec), which this time is an "ultra sensitive test". My previous estradiol tests most likely were not sensitive. I wasn't concerned with the numbers as they read 24, which should be good. I and my doctor were oblivious that the .25mg...

When I purchase the sensitive estradiol test, will the cost include the blood draw?
