[Ruffdogster]

Protocol .35T M/W,400 HCG M/W, .15 AI M/W/ have not been taking the AI, was waiting to see these results. I think I need the AI 2x a wk..

Also I have just had major back surgery so some of my blood work may be out of whack from that.

Given that you haven't stated a problem besides a number on a test I would not concur with you. What kind of problems do you think youre having with Estrogen?

Looks kinda high to me, went from 27-52. I still feel a bit emotional while watching TV or just finding out I lost a co-worker. My sex life is still in the tank and I mean a deep tank. I am happy Test is up compared to the bi-weekly shots I was getting and the pellet trial from the Urologist.
I will be having a follow-up from Defy in the next week I hope.

You're going to get a lot of opinions on E2. For me personally, I would be miserable at that level. I feel best between 25-35. So, I would give an AI a chance. Just start with a tiny amount and monitor symptoms. For me, when my E2 is good I have morning wood. I feel great in the gym and I dream a lot.

Some things should make you feel sad. I would sit on it and let Defy treat and then we could digest how your treatment might change.

Vince Carter's suggestion is a good one. With a follow-up just around the corner any change now complicates matters. These are the lab results you and the medical staff are going to be basing your discussion on; add the AI, even if previously prescribed it was not captured in these labs. Interesting - your high free testosterone is matched with a low SHBG, as we see so often.

I also like this range. I have had E2 in the teens and 60s. My money is on Defy prescribing .125 EOD that is what they have me on and I am very happy with my E2.

Ruffdogster I hope you will report back about your consult those are always fun to read and discuss. Good Luck.
