estrogen

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...

So I started out doing 250mg week and needed very little AI 1/10 week to keep my estrogen in check but then the last 3 months switched to 50mg 2x week (100mg week) and added in 250iu of hcg 2x week This got me the following figures having a really hard time dialing in estrogen now though, was <5...

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...

So something went through my mind and I don't think it's a good enough question to ask in the "proper" forums ;-). Here's the thing. T seems to be something somewhat of a "magic drug" for men. Take it, and in large enough doses it's pretty much sure to increase your mood, amount of muscle, sex...

I think I have crashed my estrogen. I stopped trt about 10 days ago due to bad side-effects from high testoterone and high estrogen. I also had high hematocrit. I took some extra anastrazole (listed below) after I stopped trt to lower my estrogen. I think I overdid it. I feel like death! I...

I tried the search function but "DIM" doesn't contain enough characters to preform a search.... Thanks!

Many times the articles, more specifically, the research articles we read relating to all the various components of TRT are not written for the layman to understand. Therefore, I believe a lot of us, myself included, stop reading because trying to self-educate ourselves can be a difficult...

I recently switched providers because my previous Dr was compounding the Arimidex with the Test Cyp (1mg of A'dex per 200mg of Test Cyp). This crashed my E2 down to 14, and I felt like hell. My new provider (who I really like so far), has split them. I am on the same protocol: 100mg Test Cyp...

A few months ago I got obsessed over estrogen control and stupidly increased my Arimidex dose from 0.25mg twice per week to 0.5mg twice per week. The reason is that the sensitive estradiol test is not available in my country so I tried to lower my E2 to see if I feel different or better. My E2...

Hello I’m new here and looking for some good information and help. I posted this on th wrong spot earlier. I’m a WM 42 5’9” 260 ( losing weight now goal is 200) non smoker or drug user I have one or two mixed drinks a month before bed. I work outside 9-10 months a year in Landscaping and...

My pre-TRT labs results:Testosterone: 548 ng/dL Free T: 6.3 pg/mL (low) Estradiol (Sensitive): 14.2 pg/mL I inject 0.35mL of T, and 0.4mL of HCG 2X a week. If I understand this correctly, this would be 140mg per week. Not that unusual of a dosage for someone starting on TRT. Now after 3...

Hi EM Community, I just got my blood test results after 11 weeks on TRT @ 150mg/week, HCG 800iu/week and Arimidex 1mg/week. so I am really happy with the results. Main Tests: Total Test 341 ---> 1093ng/dl Free Test 6.8 ---> 27.2 pg/dl E2, Sensitive Assay 19.9 ---> 18.7 pg/ml SHBG 31.5...

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 everyone, I bought an AI over the internet that is a permanent inhibitor. It goes by "elim1nate" and is made of arimistane. I am not on any testosterone treatment and have never been, but decided to take it for gyno reasons. I took it for two weeks, started feeling absolutely terrible...

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...

Hey all, this is my first post. I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this but i was seeking some guidance since I'm sort of freaking out due to possible gyno symptoms on my HRT protocol. Im 27 years old, started taking HCG 1000IU 3x a week (Mon/Wed/Fri) mid December. I noticed my...

Can anyone tell me what the relationship is between estrogen and penis sensitivity? What would be the result of high estrogen levels and what's likely to be the result of the low estrogen levels. Thanks guys.

I've recently stopped taking an SSRI (escitalopram) and have since noticed high estrogen symptoms. Is there any evidence and/or experience that this drug or dru class can effect estrogen levels or estrogen response?

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...

Hi I would like some advice or help please I recently went for a Full Endocrine Test to find out that my Thyroid (t4) was on the lower side Now im wondering if this could be due to my 6 months of TRT Therapy shutting down the Pituitary and Hypothalamus ? Or could it be my slightly lower...

For those of you who switched to sub q, what has been the impact to your Total T, Free T, Estradiol and DHT ? Thanks !!!

I've read a few sites on the good ol' interweb that some people use progesterone creams to help reduce estrogen levels and has even helped with gynecomastia as opposed to using aromatase inhibitors. Has anyone used it for this purpose or had experience with it?

I've learned that there is some association between hrt and tinnitus. Has anyone had this experience? If so, have you modified your treatment and found that you can reduce the tinnitus? Perhaps we can explore this association and any other aspects of tinnitus. Any insight would be greatly...

I read an article on another site which was making it seem like flaxseed raises estrogen in men similar to claims on soy. is this true?

This is a great and very interesting article about work done in mice. As most of you know, I have become a very vocal proponent of using the right estradiol test and not over treating men with anastrozole since estradiol is very important for male-related function. I invite you to read this...
