Hi all, my endo recently made a statement that I believe to be completely untrue, but I need some "proof". What he said was - "your low E" (pre-TRT and with my initial protocol I had levels that were BELOW what the lab can even measure) "is because you're getting too much test, and that's why...

Hi. My mother started hrt recently (T injections 2x5mg/week. Estradiol patch 3.8mg (replace it every 7 days) and oral progesterone 100mg every day) She is 56 in menopause Her labs on this protocol are T>> 116ng/dl 2 days after injection e2>> 30 pg/ml...

Hi guys, I live in Europe / Switzerland and the docs I've asked have never heard of a "sensitive" Estradiol test. I've read on the forums that over here in Europe, the test doesn't seem to be very common. What should I do in order to manage my Estradiol properly? Are there any rule of thumbs...

So I've always heard that Exemestane has the unique properties of lowering SHBG and raising IGF-1, compared to Anastrozole. I've also heard, that 1 tab of Exemestane (25mg), is basically equivalent to 1 tab of Anastrozole (1mg). I just wanted to post some blood work I had 4 months apart from...

So I just had an interesting thought about E2 levels in men. So the gold standard in regards to where we want our hormones, is to get them to the levels that they were when we were in our prime, correct? So probably around 18-22, I would assume for most men, hormone wise at least. Take total and...

I can't seem to find a definitive correlation to low or high E2, so here is what is going on. The last week or so I've developed really dry skin on my face and scalp. I used to have super dry skin before I started TRT, but after a couple of months on my skin was great, even slightly oily (no...

I am curious how other men feel with high e2 levels... What symptoms and/or negative effects you feel when your estradiol is elevated? I used to be able to run 200+mg doses of testosterone with no AI and be ok when I was like 18-20 year old.. situation changed as I got older I need to be in very...

I started TRT about 10 months ago after attempting every conservative treatment I could try and failing to get results. The honeymoon phase at a conservative dose was amazing, but then I had to switch providers due to my PCP moving. The new providers put me on 200mg once a week with routine...

Hi Guys, I am from the UK and unfortunately do not have the luxury of getting a sensitive estradiol test. The company i use to test my blood is Medichecks and they use chemiluminescence immunoassay testing for estradiol. I know its difficult but can someone give me a sensible estimate of the...

The role of estradiol in male reproductive function. - PubMed - NCBI Abstract Traditionally, testosterone and estrogen have been considered to be male and female sex hormones, respectively. However, estradiol, the predominant form of estrogen, also plays a critical role in male sexual...

Hi, first post here, hoping to find some advice. If this in in the wrong subforum mods please let me know. Anyway I’m a 33 y/o male, 5'10" 195lbs, lifting frequently for 18 month now and by my estimate would be at about 20% body fat, most of which is on my chest and stomach. Haven’t touched...

I won't bore everybody with details and fluff - the numbers speak for themselves. Bottom line, Quest and LabCorp E2 numbers are nowhere near each other based on recent lab work I had done (Quest numbers were 2x LabCorp numbers). Be careful if you are managing E2 with only a single lab...

hi all, i'm kinda new to all this and i've seen plenty of threads on this topic but i just cannot figure out what happened here. i messed up my protocol and ran out of cream, i restarted about 20 days later already feeling pretty crappy. but over the week or so applying the cream things stared...

I started TRT in May this year, working with Defy since there were so many positive recommendations on this forum. At my 90 day consult/labs I saw a significant jump in my T levels (Total T 302 to 1360, Free T 14.7 to 49.9), but also a corresponding jump in my Estradiol (17.5-66.8). I realized...

On another thread i posted, Vince Carter mentioned about also testing free e2. I've never heard about testing that so I'm really curious and trying to educate myself about it. Can one have normal levels of sensitive e2 yet have high free e2? If so, how would one address that problem?

Hello to everyone, I have seen a lot of excellent info on the forum, but I would need some guideance on what to do next. Where do I start: Well, it can be a long story, but I will try to keep it as short as I can. Almost 39 yo, non smoker, 1 or 2 of drinks a week. Started training year and a...

Hi all, First time poster. I'm hoping to get some thoughts on my recent blood tests asap as I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow morning so want to be informed and prepared. Blood test results are attached in photos. I've been on trt 6 weeks, had the bloods done on Monday before HCG, T...

At this point I am just curious, but since we all believe estrogen is important, what does one do if your level is too low? i have a feeling if i lose weight, stop taking dhea, my estradiol will move down to 12 ug/dl or so or maybe even lower. Right now I am 5.4 and 165 lbs, so at least 30...

34yo male, 5′10, 185lb, low(ish) bodyfat, healthy diet, weight training 3-5/week I've read the stickies and I'm sorry I won't have all the required lab test results for you to provide. Still working this thing out with my doc who for some reason doesn't want to order too much labs so might have...

Hello everybody I recently crashed my estradiol with a very low dose of anastrozole. My bloodword came back with 9 two weeks ago and i felt really bad with achy joints lethargy, and dry skin dry hands. I stoped anastrozole and i think i will not touch it again. I am now on a daily protocol so i...

Just curious - do estradiol levels "follow" test levels? With test, you have the half life of your supplement of choice, so you can almost draw a curve how your levels will look like. Does E "follow" this curve in a timely manner? So, as an example, let's say I'm on gel (short-acting) and I...

Hey guys, Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm a 27 year old, relatively active guy. Noticed low T symptoms, doctor decided to try fixing it (thankfully, given I didn't have the crazy low levels of some other guys seeking treatment). I recently started Clomid and switched my care to Defy...

I posted a thread not long ago in the introductions forum regarding my being placed on TRT. My PCP started me out at 200mg/wk and did not give me arimidex or hcg, regardless of his experience or otherwise in the area, i think the consensus was to get me rolling and hand me off to an...

32 low T level was 206 when started TRT, first gels (that was a waist) month later started IM shots at 100mg ever 2 weeks (felt horrible) doc bumped it up to 200mg ever 2 weeks. Blood test had my T levels at 69 on trough day. Last 6 weeks I’ve been on 200mg every week now. Feel much better but...

I go to a TRT clinic I was on 240mg test c / .5 armidex .500 HCG week. Inject just once weekly. Last labs had my total t at 982 on day 7, e2 at 47. I had the labs drawn because I lost my libido and have been suffering from ED. The doctor reduced me to 180mg test c, 1mg armidex, .500 HCG. To...

I had not had any AI in about 2 weeks. I started to think me e2 was getting high so I had a blood test. The test was just the normal Estradiol test, not sensitive. The results showed my Estradiol was very high. I then found a place here in Oz that does the E2 sensitive test so I got a test done...

Since Clomid was giving me vision sides at just 12.5mg per day, I have switched to Torem at 60mg per day. My total T at this dose is weighing in at 456, taken mid afternoon, but my E2 is a weak 10.1. Is this horrible low? How can I make it rise? Will I end up with bone issues or osteoporosis...

I am 33 years old and a few years back I started getting super tired and really lacked motivation. I had a lot of symptoms that mad me think my Test was low. My brothers was really low at 34 and my dads was really low so I went and had mine checked. I came in at 224 and the doctor recommended...

I've been on TRT for 3 months. My current protocol is: 100mg Test Cypionate per week, injecting EOD. Blood test just over a month ago revealed my Estradiol was 226 (Range 50-150) So I started on 0.25mg anastrazole E3D. Another blood test on 10/8 showed Estradiol of 141 (Range 50-150) So I...

This post comes as no surprise to those that saw my post that my doc put me on 1mg/day of anastrazole because my estradiol was at 64. I’m now at less than 5 and I feel horrible. What on earth do I do now? I’m currently taking .25ml testosterone cyp. and 400iu’s HCG on M/W/F.
