The Estradiol test as all tests were done by Quest. The high end of the range is 39. Normally my Estradiol is always in the ~20 range but when it gets to 46, test results or no test results I know its way too high based on how I feel, which is to say I feel like shit. Need to keep it in the 20's to 30's. For anyone taking a low dose AI below 1 mg how do you get the AI that low, by a compounding pharmacy or can you buy it somewhere in fractional amounts less than 1 mg?
