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

I am aware that mid to upper 20s is great, it’s where I want to be, my concern is going higher, only because I have never been this high. Would love to keep it where it’s at, I definitely don’t wanna go down below 20s

Yes, but mine has gone up 6 in the last two weeks, I would like it to stay in the range it’s in. My question is, typically does it continue to increase of eventually stop going up.

I want to avoid AI at any cost, slight concern about estrogen getting too high... just looking for other people’s feed back, because I know the doc will suggest an AI, because that’s what docs do...

Thanks for the insight, my shbg was always on the higher side of the range, like 60-75% of the range. I was going to talk to my doctor about more frequent injections and even possibly lowering my weekly test intake, 900 total is cool, but I would rather control my e2 without an AI and have a...

Yeah, i thought I added that to my cart, apparently not.. I looked through my old emails to see what it has been in the past... it’s always been within range middle or a little higher within the ranges. Doesn’t exactly help me today.

Sorry, haven’t had coffee yet this morning, i know details are important... Off meant, some soft erections, brain fog, didn’t feel like i was even on trt in the gym, bedroom or daily life... I was also pretty anxious.. today wood is strong, fog is way better, gym life is really improved too...

Good morning 6 weeks ago I ran my labs because something felt “off” a couple months into reinstating trt. My labcorp test results showed by estrogen sensitive at 8.5, my protocol was 50mg test cyp 2x a week and 1/4 anastrozle with injection. A few weeks ago I ran another e2 test (4weeks...

Assuming some sarcasm? Yes or no?

Lol... just getting conflicting responses from shrink and perscribing trt doc. More looking for guys with experience with my diagnosis.. there really isn’t a lot on the web about it.

I was recently diagnosed bipolar, the doc has hinted he wants to pull me off trt. My testosterone prescribing doctor says there’s really no study to support being on or off trt if bipolar. Anyone have any experience?

He had treated me in the past and I was actually on more AI at that same test dose, so we started even more conservatively than my previous protocol. It’s been 2 weeks since my labs, haven’t taken an AI since, i have another appt in a month, just feel like I am in a bit of a fog, tired, but...

Welcome, join the E2 juggling club. Lots of resources on this forum...

Roger that...

Thanks for the reassurance, like stated before i will run all the E2 labs to get a window into my e2 situations. 8.5 doesn’t feel awesome. It’s like I am not even on trt.. lol

So, in your opinion.... when I started trt a normal endo didn’t want to treat me... According to their standard test I was in the low 20s for e2 and my test was at 314... Went to a reputable clinic with those numbers and prescribed 50mg 2x a week test cyp with 1/4 anastrozle with each...

Soooooo, what are your guys thoughts? Should I go back now and do the sensitive, standard and free estrodiol? Or just let the protocol buck without an AI and see where I am in 4 weeks on all 3 of the estrodiol tests?
