Just curious as to what your doctors have to say about all of this? The very same doctors that were using the wrong E2 test to base their dosage (or should I say, overdosage) of Adex that you were taking before. Did you change your protocol on your own, and get their blessing, or are you just doing this all by yourself now?

Personally, I would stop the Adex, or at least go down to .15mg BIW (from a compounding pharmacy), as your sensitive E2 is still pretty low.
