Thanks Vince! I haven’t donated in months, starting to supplement now, t doses are low to keep me around 700... supplement for a month and run ferritin labs again? Any good supplement for iron? Is it a long process getting the levels up again?

So, in sept I saw endo for fatigue. He took a bunch of labs and I just reviewed them with naturopathic doc and apparently my ferritin was at an 8 and iron was low too.. endo didn’t make a big deal.. still dealing with fatigue and ferritin is sitting at a 30.. what’s an idea number to get that...

I removed dim and went to every 3.5 day Injections instead of EOD.. is that too many moving parts? Trying to get E2 out of the hole it’s in by spacing out injections. Middle to high normal shbg...

Eod and Dim were the only things i was doing to control E2... Labs confirmed it was low E2.... Now I guess I just have to wait it out.. I did find some other guys on forums who have said DIM crashed them too... I always thought DIM just controlled the radicals... with your vast knowledge and...

Confirmed.... low level of E2 on labcorp sensitive test. I ran it again an I was at a 4 (8-35 range) this was with a EOD injection and DIM protocol. No AI.. So, now I changed my protocol to no DIM and every 3.5 day injections and will see how labs look in 6 weeks... Glad I didn’t listen to my...

No took AI after labs before getting results... I have read a hundred times wait for labs, but was desperate to feel better and may have now may have it made worse.. I have yet to find any thing that talks about crashing estrodiol without using an AI.. I even consulted my doc, who instructed me...

So, I was thinking for sure high E2, even took a 1/4 tab of AI last two injections (I know, I know, wait for labs) this morning I feel great and had morning wood.

Got my lab request through discounted labs, will run e2 again today. What other factors could make this happen? Anything else I should run labs for?

Obviously, I just didn’t think it would tank my E2 with Dim... just trying to keep E2 under control without AI. Going back to 50mg 2x a week. Also, may stop by labcorp and run the e2 again just to confirm the results, because I am so surprised. Going eod dropped my e2 by 21

Planning on going back to 2x a week at 50-60mg 2x a week.. cutting the dim and seeing where I am at in 6 weeks. Free t 10.7 (8.7-21.5)

Yes this was 6 weeks from April labs... My doctor didn’t want to see me until 3 months after last appt.. I pulled e2 sensitive and tt and ft labs on my own because I felt off..

All lab work done at labcorp.. February my estrodiol was at 8.5 (8-35) range while injection 50mg 2x a week and taking .25 anastrozle.. So I eliminated the AI and and kept injections the same, e2 went up to 28.. decided to go EOD injections of 25mg and added DIM around then.. Just got labs back...

Is there signs or symptoms of a conversation problem? Weight gain? Weight loss?? Energy levels? Mood? I always just figured high T4 in range meant high metabolism, but remember I said I know I have a lot to learn. Will do a full thyroid panel next labs, or is there cause for concern that I...

I have so much to learn, being in the high normal range of free t4 isn’t ok? What could it mean?

TSH 1.840 (0.450-4.5) uiu/ml T4 free 1.660 (0.82-1.77) ng/dL T3 free 3.2 (2.0-4.4) pg/ml
