This is my working theory of what may have caused my E2 crash. I feel like dog poo, no libido and very difficult erections.
I had recent bloodwork from LabCorp expecting high E2. I‘ve never once taken an AI:
TT >1500 (274-916)
FT 44.4 (6.8-21.5)
E2 sensitive <2.5 (8.0-35.0)
Upon request, DiscountLabs retested that sample and numbers were unchanged. Same blood sample, tested twice.
I have been using Tadalafil research liquid several times per week, up to 60mg per dose with diminishing effectiveness. So I began to suspect high E2, which I’ve never had trouble managing.
I don’t yet have results for a second blood draw testing T/F without upper range along with regular (non-sensitive E2).
I‘m wondering if maybe I put my E2 into a death spiral: initial erection symptoms led to Tadalafil, which lowered E2, which led to increased Tadalafil dosing to compensate, which ultimate crashed E2 totally. It’s just a theory, but I don’t know what else (assuming third round of labs confirm low E2) would have caused this precipitous drop.
I’m 6’2”, 195lbs, reasonably lean.
