e2

I will try to keep things short... About 6-7weeks ago I was reviewing my labs with my doc. Labs were taken day of weekly shot of 200mg before injection. .25 arimidex 2-3x per week. Total T - 1048 ng/dl (264-916) Free T - 23.8 pg/ml (9.5-25.5) DHEA 228 ug/dl (138-475) LH <0.2 mIU/ml (1.7-8.6)...

So from my understanding, progesterone lowers DHT as well as keeps E2 in check, amongst a bunch of other benefits. This is a possible explanation why young men with high natural test don't have issues with baldness and elevated E2 issues. It's their normal/ high levels of progesterone keeping...

I recently checked some bloodwork from a private lab here in Australia. I asked if their E2 LCMS was the same as a 'Sensitive E2' test that is available in the USA, and was told it is the same. The labwork came back and just lists it as 'Oestradiol LCMS' The test can be found on this page...

I know I will get mixed responses here - half the people think that high estradiol is the root of all evil and the other half thinks that it is harmless! I began TRT roughly 7 weeks ago. Protocol is through Defy - 70mg T-Cyp, 500iu HCG, both E3.5D. I have not had BW done since beginning...

Hello - I am a 59 year old male and have applied 2 pumps of Androgel every morning for the last 3+ years. For the most part I've had good energy, strength, endurance & libido. I hit the gym 5 or 6 days per week for 1 - 1 1/2 hours and lift heavy (enjoying every minute). And then came last week...

I inject 1.25 iu of 200 mg testosterone cypionate per week plus 1000 mg of hcg two days before the T. My last two tests of estradiol have been very low. They were not the sensitive tests, so I decided to get one from discounted labs. I got the results today and estradiol is at 4.8. My doctor...

I started TRT 3/15 and labs done on 3/31. It is a confusing situation as to why I had labs drawn that early (switched doctors). Anyways, my labs looked great and I felt great. High total T, high free T, normal E2 (was at 35, range was 8-35). Thyroid levels normal. Raging libido and erections...

Prompted by a reply from Dr Saya: "As a side note, your E2 is lower than we like, but with the somewhat low SHBG you will have a higher free estradiol (same as a higher free testosterone) at any given total E2 level. Translation...the E2 is a bit low, but not as low as it appears on the...

General Questions I been having hard time with getting some anecdotal information on. 1) How long after starting an AI do you actually feel the benefits of it? I'm not gyno prone, but definitely bloated, mediocre sex drive, moodiness, erectile dysfunction and sexual sensitivity (when I can get...

Hey fellas, Need some input. I've been on TRT therapy for over a year now. My current TRT protocol is as follows Test Cyp 200mg/wk E3D injection HCG 500iu/wk E3D injection Arimidex 1mg E3D I have been experiencing symptoms for quite some time now (fatigue, the need to sleep, bloating, water...

I have been on TRT for over 4 years with generally good results. It does seem that I have to keep tweaking my protocol to maintain good levels of hormones and feel good. It also seems that I feel best in the first weeks that I am adapting to a change in protocol. All the following tests were...

Reduce your body fat, keep your diet clean and don't drink too much beer. If all those are in order you should not have problems with high estrogen. This is the reasoning we all have heard. I saw an internist a few weeks ago who said that by looking at my body type, there's no possibility for me...

Does anyone have confirmed labs of how DHEA and/or Preg affected their e2 levels? How much did DHEA/Preg increase e2 if at all?

Current State: Hi, I am new here, a 30 year-old male with gyno (surgically removed) struggling with severe mental exhaustion / reduced brain cognition. No matter how much I sleep, I almost never wake up feeling rested. I wake up feeling like I haven't slept at all, or like I haven't slept in 2...

Ive been on trt for 2 years now and had a estrogen crash this fall. From that point on I've been trying to redial my Ai protocol, and at the moment, im at a point where i've decided to ditch my arimidex completely. One of the thing that is worrying me is the fact that I cant seem to shake of...

In typing this at 3am, I got maybe 1 or 2 hours of sleep the last couple of night total and as a result feel extremely fatigued and depressed. My 2 main symptoms are hot flashes and extreme thirst. I had 3 injections so far, 120mg Test Cyp a week devided into 2 shots per week and .5mg...

Hi Guys, unfortunately my TRT hasn't been going well for several months now and really trying to figure things out with the Doc, so I had my last conversation with Doc Dr John Crisler not long time a go, my E2 levels on June was 27 pg/mL on a scale 8 to 35, last blood work LabCorp tested for...

I have a question, I recently tested low on Progesterone and Cortisol and I started progesterone cream in 10mg a day before bed to get these up. These are results before progesterone supplementation: Cortisol (Serum) 6.6 ug/dL (10:18am) - Ref: 6.24-18 ug/dL Progesterone 0.19 ng/mL...

My clinic had me on 1mg Arimidex 2X per week. Prior to changing to the clinic my endo would not even discuss it with me. So we have agreed to try .5mg 2X per week. My question for you guys is should I just not take any for a period of time to allow a rebound of some sort and if so, how long...

Can anyone speak to the use of Copper and DIM to moderate high E2? I test in a few weeks and my doctor mentioned that these have both been used. Anyone with experience as to dose and results? Many thanks.

Sensitive Estradiol Blood Test: The Only Accurate Assay for Men I see everyone here reference only using the ultrasensitive test, but many others have said it is not a good test. I am just curious as to why the thought is different here. Below is a clip from Life Extension blood tests...
