estradiol

I have been a reader of this forum for some months now and recently got back my labs after being on trt for 3 months the results are as follows and done by Quest Labs and drawn at 8:30 am the day of an injection but before injecting; Estradiol Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS range < 29 pg/mL Actual...

After an injection of testosterone cypionate, serum levels of testosterone peak the next day. But when do E2 levels peak? Since the majority of the E2 comes from aromatization of Testos into E2, I have to think this conversion process takes some time? Another question, how long does elevated...

At only 34, I’ve somehow herniated a disc in my cervical spine. This hasn’t happened before, until I stopped TRT and I’ve been doing an unsuccessful restart. Total T at 225, E2 at 10.0. Is this low E2 low enough to cause bad inflammation or loss of cartilage to the point one will slip a disc...

Hi, I registered a few days ago but wasn’t able to post my case in a single message, and after several failed attempts, the system finally is telling me that a post should not exceed 10000 characters, so I had to divide it in 3 parts. Sorry for extending so much. I just really, really, utterly...

Dear forum, My wife is on the way to optimize her hormone levels after long period of inaccurate Levythyroxin medication and the possible damage it did (it went on for few years before she learned about the topic and found a doc that would prescribe Armour). Looking for expert thoughts on the...

Do you guys think that we should all try to get our E2 around where it was pre-TRT, or do you think our sweet spot for E2 would increase since we are increasing our testosterone on TRT. For example, pre TRT my E2 consistently was around 23-25. So it seems that my body liked to keep my E2 around...

I've read that many on TRT supplement with DIM but just as many do not utilize it. Some believe it to be an estrogen blocker and others believe they haven't received any benefit from it. It may be one of those supplements where "YMMV" depending on your views and or results from supplementing...

I have ordered the Sensitive Estradiol Test (LC/MS/MS) and I want to know if there is a particular day I should have it done as far as when my weekly Testosterone Cypionate shot is given, or can I do it on any day? I know when testing for total testosterone it's best to draw the blood the day...

Hello. I am 29, male, from Bulgaria (Eastern Europe) and we do not have a lab that does the ultrasensitive estradiol test. Does anyone here know a lab that accepts blood from abroad, shipped in the correct way- refrigerated/frozen etc...? I will start HRT because I have been chronically ill...

I've been on TRT for about 5 weeks. My dose is 70mg of test cypionate every 3.5 days, 500iu of HCG every 3.5 days, and .125 anastrozole every 3.5 days. Here are results from my recent lab taken right before my next testosterone shot was due: Total Testosterone: 1150 (264-916) Free...

These are labs from mid Week 7: Total T: 957 ng/dL (264-916 range) Free T: 25.6 pg/mL (8.7-25.1) E2 Sensitive: 60.6 pg/mL (8.0-35.0) SHBG: 27.1 nmol/L (16.5-55.9) This is really high, right? I've also ordered a complete follow-up panel but because of Defy's scheduling quirks, I had to wait...

I have been on 100 mg a week for 8 weeks now(started trt 6 months ago). My bloodwork came in and I'm a little concerned with my e2. My doc doesn't seem concerned and does not prescribe AIs. Should I be concerned with my bloodwork? Estradial 75.6 (7.6-42.6) Prolactin 15.3 Test serum 546 ng/dl...

Hello, Basically: there is no sensitive E2 test in my country. Last week I did two blood tests for e2 in two different labs, the difference was WAY too high. First test (CLIA, no electro): 47 pg/ml <80 pg/ml Second test (ECLIA): 81.8 pg/ml 25.8-60.7 pg/ml Both where on the same...

I’ve been on TRT for over 1 year now and things are really going well...life is looking much better from this side it just took a while. A million thanks for the people on this site and if you are beginning TRT give it time. I have been injecting every other day 0.25 ml testosterone cypionate...
