After trial and error, I don’t believe estradiol supplementation will fix our issues. Definitely a receptor signaling issue.

This is big for pssd, pfs, etc community. Hopefully they can shine some light on all of this.

@RAS : Have you seen any improvement since you hit that wall?? I'm of the opinion that if the large doses of estrogen were going to reset/stimulate the estrogen receptors in the brain/sexual organs, you may start to see an improvement (granted your trt dose is dialed in and your estrogen levels...

I would start somewhere <= 120mg. In your labs, your e2 was still a bit on the higher end. Your test levels themselves were also out of range (albeit not way off). You should leave AI out of the picture and titrate down from 120mg till you feel no heart palpitations, normal resting heart rate...

Update: New regimen: 100mg test cyp every 3 days 0.5mg estrogen valerate every 12 hours (sublingual) I use a pill cutter 125mg test dosage once per week was leaving me with worse symptoms by end of week.

Just letting you know I have high Shbg in the 60s. Your experience with medical professionals is similar to mine. I appreciate you taking the time to write out all the details and will let you know how it goes on my end.

Questions @RAS . 1. Is your estrogen valerate dosed at 400mg per bottle? The only injectable source I can find is such. According to Injectable Estradiol Simulator - A 0.8 mg dosage once per seven days on a time interval of 360 days would put e2 between 40-55ng/dl. This is 0.02 cc on an...

It’s been a little better. It still fluctuates but it’s a little stronger. I’ve only been on the estrogen for a week now. Expecting more improvements with time.

It’s a little early to tell, but I’m now doing much better. 1mg oral valerate dissolved sublingually under the tongue per day and 125mg test cyp once per week. My bones and joints aren’t aching anymore and I’m waking up with strong morning wood and experiencing sensation again.

This is a great recommendation, thanks.

I’m about to schedule an appt with dr Saya to try and increase my estrogen by either trt, estrogen supplementation or both. Tired of waiting out my symptoms since crashing in 2020.

Do you think it is absolutely required to run a SERM after cessation of HCG? I don’t like the idea of using an estrogen antagonist as it provides me symptoms of low estrogen but I would honestly try cruising on HCG if it meant some form of recovery from low estrogen symptoms after my run in with...

In the same boat. Following

What were your TSH levels?

I haven’t recovered from Aromasin crashing my estrogen. It’s been since 2020. I recently got my bloods done and saw that my test was 413ng and estradiol was at 18 where before it used to sit at 791ng and 37. Since that bloodwork I’ve tried two pcts. The first was with Enclomiphene and I actually...
