    Help with Labs - High T, Low E2

    Ok..I've been on 1/2 dosage for 2 weeks now. Feel worse than I did before, but I'll give it until November when I have my next set of labs. Thanks for the advice!

    Help with Labs - High T, Low E2

    No AI...I had ordered some Anastrozole figuring it was high, but after getting the tests back showing low, they're just sitting in the box still.

    Help with Labs - High T, Low E2

    Please excuse me if I'm not following protocol for posting this here. I started in the "introduction" section, but thought I'd re-post here and summarize. Here is the original thread if you want to review. Here's my situation, I've been on TRT for over 2 1/2 months (Fortesta gel). Pre-TRT labs...

    Received my blood tests back. The results were interesting...it appears my Estradiol is low. Any intrepritations or advice on these blood tests are greatly appreciated. Thanks! CBC: PSA: Estradiol:

    Got my tests done this morning, so I will post the results when I get them. As for my Doctor visit, it was very basic. He was concerned about the high level of test, so he asked me to go down to 1 pump on each leg (instead of 2) and retest in early November. Hopefully that will stabilize by...

    Just received my order from them today. Should I do the labs in the morning 2 hours after applying the fortesta gel, as I did with my other tests? I ordered these tests: Estradiol, Sensitive CBC With Differential/Platelet Prostate-Specific Ag, Serum

    I ordered the estradiol sensitive test along with CBC and PSA through discounted labs. Just waiting for the order from them so I can get the test. I'll ask the doctor for one as well. Thanks again for the help!

    I apply it on my inner thighs, no chance of contamination as I wash my hands immediately because of my wife and 2 young boys. This was actually the 2nd test, to verify the high numbers. The first one was 5 days earlier and came back very similar, around 1400.

    The doctor instructed me to have blood drawn 2 hours after applying 40mg of fortesta. I applied my test gel at 6am and had blood drawn at 8:30am

    ** Update ** So, I got my latest blood test back that my Doctor ordered (just Total, SHBG, Free, % Free) and the results are a little confusing. I'm in the process of looking for a new doctor to get some additional blood tests, but I thought I'd share them with everyone. TOTAL TESTOSTERONE...

    Thanks for being up-front with me...I had a feeling I wasn't getting the right answers. I will get a PSA and CBC blood test from discountedlabs immediately. Luckily, they have a facility where I live. I will also look at getting a new doctor...which may be tricky because of insurance and the...

    New to the Forum...started TRT 2 months ago

    That's what I was concerned with...I feel like there's something else going on that TRT alone isn't going to solve. I did a saliva test on my own in May, which had some interesting results (high cortisol, low DHEAS). I plan on talking with my endo next week about them, but I'm concerned they...

    Yes, sorry. There are other tests done but I just focused on the main ones to prevent the initial post from being long-winded. Here's all the blood tests that were done in January when I initially saw the Endo, the first follow-up in March after Clomid, and then a couple months later (to see if...

    Hello everyone..I've been casually reading through these forums the past few days and thought I would register and tell my "story". I'm 36 years old, and started TRT about 2 months ago after a year and a half of dieting and possibly "over-training". After finally convincing my doctor to have...

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.
