Low E2

Low estradiol on TRT is one of the most underestimated causes of flat libido, joint pain, anxiety, and poor sleep. It typically results from overuse of aromatase inhibitors like anastrozole, but can also occur in naturally low-aromatizing men on lower doses or transdermals. Symptoms often mirror high E2 (ED, low drive, mood changes), which is why lab testing by a sensitive assay is essential. Threads here cover what crashed E2 feels like, how long recovery takes after dropping anastrozole, whether to dose-pause, and how members rebuild stable estradiol over weeks.

    Question for the low E2 guys. Does anyone add E2 exogenously alongside their TRT. If so, where did they start dosage wise and how successful was it. I’ve never had any libido on TRT - My E2 is always on the lower end and my SHBG is extremely low. Aside from the shot libido, I don’t feel that...

    Very high FT on 70mg/wk?
