    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I don't know why the case study with the man with EIS still had sexual function. His is congenital, his body's may have adapted differently. I still have sexual function, but it's ED and nothing like I had before. I still get nocturnal erections. but they're extremely weak and nothing like...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Youre saying i'm psychosomatically creating my symptoms. Before I read a single PFS thread I had all these symptoms. And again, I never had anxiety or depression in my entire life. As we speak right now, I am not feeling either and my physical symptoms still exist. More than ever. I've gone to...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I have checked every single day for the last 3 months using my universities database and have found nothing. I do not think I ever will. You must understand we are not gods, it's only 2017, and this kind of medicine is still new and changing. You cannot deny the men out there who have suffered...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    My hair on my body still grows, pretty quickly too. But now some hairs literally do not grow out of my skin. Id say about 40% of them don't now. Luckily I'm a hairy guy to start off. My facial hair has be nearly unaffected. I think both hormones play a key role in hair growth. Androgens more...

    I still stand behind it 100%. I've lost more than half my hair on my scalp in a matter of 3 months, it's completely dead. I've also lost a ton of body hair and it doesn't feel the same at all. My skin is extremely dry. My nails hardly grow. Severe erectile dysfunction when before this I was...

    Low estrogen on TRT

    Yeah you couldn't pay me any amount of money to touch a 5AR inhibitor even if it's just a 'natural herb' Some of the worse PFS stories I've heard are from Saw Palmetto.

    What was your protocol at the time, and what did your bloods reveal?

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    My friend used the same exact product. He noticed great results from it in terms of energy and libido and did not get crashed E2 symptoms. As I discuseed with you, it increased your E2, this makes you (and me) worse.

    Low SHBG guys

    That is insane. What are your symptoms? Have you tried increasing the dose so that your TT was around 2,000? I feel like your situation would warrant this kind of T level.

    HCG Quality; brands/sources

    HCG doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried West Chester NY's compounding pharmacy HCG with no results and my local CVS gave me brand name HCG; Novarel, used two bottles, with no results. What are the chances both sources were low quality or bunk? Should I try a new pharmacy?

    Ever try ED injections IM at a higher dose? I'm talking 250mg a week. So about 35mg a day?

    I’ve been on Clomid exclusively for 3 years

    I would do 12.5mg-25mg once a day if you plan of staying on clomid. But seeing that fertility is not an issue, I would advise starting TRT w/ HCG. No pharmaceutical AI. Start with some Calcium Gluconate & Zinc/copper. Get bloods after 6 weeks with the sensitive E2 test, reassess from there. Be...

    During my first semester which was definitely my hardest, I didn't shed at all and I was stressed because I didn't pass my first two pathophysiology exams. Now I'm pulling straight As so I'm not sure my hair loss is due to stress, especially because it all starting happening when I murdered my...

    Appt is Nov 15th with Endo, gonna ask for progesterone and saliva cortisol x4. I have looked into CDs protocol and I will definitely be doing it after school is over where I can dedicate time to it. I think when I reported some GI issues it was because I ate left over food that didn't agree...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Never bet your life/mortgage/career on something if you're not 100% sure. My cortisol is fine, I've gotten it tested. and I don't even have hypoadrenal symptoms, at all. I don't have chronic fatigue syndrome, in fact my energy is the same as it's always been which is good. Ill get this saliva...

    Got a Rx for Anastrazole

    I would even go slower than this. 0.25mg twice weekly or even 0.125mg twice weekly would be a better start.

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Sounds like you have chronic low estrogen due to the fact you're simply not aromatizing enough. Can I see your most recent labs? I would get a new set since your issues are worsening. If this is the case where your E2 is low on 25mg clomid every day which I consider a hefty dose, I would talk to...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Yes. You should be fine, if you're urinating a lot and you feel dried out with low estrogen you still have full receptor function.

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Guys. I'm fully aware the mind is powerful. Back when I was 16 I thought I injured my back, I was paranoid about it. It hurt so bad. One morning, I woke up and it was COMPLETELY gone. There's no doubt I was giving myself psychosomatic pain. But this issue is not that. I've never experienced...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    Not necessarily over reference range. But going from low enough where receptors are very sensitive to their ligands to a modest jump (which would happen from cessation of the reversible inhibitor). This probably wouldn't have happened if I crashed E2 on aromasin. You don't get a faster come back...

    Ive seen the harvard study. There are plenty of men without ED and anxiety/depression before Finasteride who got it after using it. Like myself, I didn't even know what true anxiety was. Ive had some anxiety over school or girlfriends before - completely normal reactions to life, but not chronic...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    You didn't crash your E2 like we did. I was at zero. I've probably gone as low as 9 before and recovered fine within 3 days. In fact I used to kind of like low E2 because it made me extremely dry and aggressive, never any ED or anxiety. Even when I was <5pg I could still get my **** hard and now...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    For sure. My TSH is usually between .85-1.5. FT4 was at 2.4 (1.2-4.9) a little over a year ago so we'll see.

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    I was pretty big. The best I ever looked was on 120mg weekly. I don't remember my arimidex dosage on 500mg but I was very water the entire blast. On 120-150mg weekly I would use .2mg arimidex every 1-2 weeks. Really depended, and I never thought much about it. When my pumps got worse, noticed a...

    I started testosterone at 500mg/week for 25 weeks. Came off for 6 weeks with nolva and clomid and felt fine by week six so I went back on at 150mg/week. Did a show a year later, ran 300mg/week for 8 weeks. Then back down to 120mg after the show ever since. Always too afraid to use any other...

    Can estrogen crash cause desensitization/knock out of the estrogen receptor - lets discuss!

    We know what the first study says. This is generally true for all hormones. You deprive the receptors, they up-regulate and become more sensitive to their respective ligand. I noticed this hypersensitivity when I would stop my AI when I first began crashing E2. I would get high estrogen...
