    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    Actually, I like this idea and will try it first. If it doesn't work, will go the compounding (or maybe the DIY) route.

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    Wow. This is really frustrating. Still, if others have had to use such small doses (and they work), then I can't be only one having this difficulty. Thanks to everyone that responded with a similar suggestion. Question- if the API is equally distributed within the tablet such that a quarter of...

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    Libido improved after only two weeks then suddenly ED problems again. Out of curiosity checked E2; it was 48 on the labcorp 7-42 scale. Somehow it went too high for me again; my guess is decent to optimal for me is 30-40 which is a narrow window. Not taking any adex. Any suggestions on a very...

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    One more question- The time I felt best was back in Nov. when my E2 was 40 with the Quest <=39 scale. It obviously doesn't need to be that high; I'm sure I would be quite content at 30 or over. Since it was 13 end Feb. as posted above (Labcorp 7-42 scale), is it possible I will just sit at a low...

    Thank you. I'll let you know how it is going after the first blood work! One more question- The time I felt best was back in Nov. when my E2 was 40 with the Quest <=39 scale. It obviously doesn't need to be that high; I'm sure I would be quite content at 30 or over. Since it was 13 end Feb. as...

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    CoastWatcher, I hear you. I provided some details in response to Ero that should better explain my situation. As you are a moderator- great forum; Ero and some of the stickies gave me enough info/confidence to ask about the twice weekly. Granted, he obviously knew but I had no way to predict...

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    Ero, you are obviously really sharp and I'm confident you picked up my saying "depression" was major issue; libido, etc. was second. So I owe you the balance details- He wanted to see me once a week for shots (I refused as I noted) because for people with MDD and taking ADs, moods can go in a...

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    As said, he wanted me to get shots every week. Coming in that often was a problem. I can actually make that work, though. So, I will go to every week. Yes, the adex and dose were my idea. I'm posting this because I'm hopeful someone (an experienced patient) will look objectively at my situation...

    Can't figure out Estradiol extremes

    Hi, I am a 54 y/o doing trt for about 6 months. Dose is 400mg T cyp two times a month. Major issue was depression and lower doses were not that effective but 400mg is effective. The twice monthly schedule is also good; more frequent (one a week) made no difference in mood. Also, re libido, this...

    First Post -Avice Requested

    Interesting. I didn't know more frequent injections = less E2. I just called, he (his nurse) said do every week if I am willing. Again, primary issue with me is depression. She said it's a frequent request to help keep mood stable. So, dose is now 200 mg/week for a total of 800 mg/month (no...

    First Post -Avice Requested

    Ero, the actual adex dose was 1 mg, not 3mg. A typo, my mistake. Taking that into account, does it look my idea of .25 eod might help or should I start with even less of a frequency (3 x week)? Thank you!

    First Post -Avice Requested

    Hi, First time posting. I am very confused about what happened after I took Adex for first time. And, what happened after I stopped taking it. I need some help. Here is history and current issue: Am 52. Started trt last sept. T was 186. E not tested. I will never know why, but doc started me...

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.
