E2 at 75 sensitive test

[Dave29]

I was doing 70mgs test and 420iu hcg every 3.5d then switched to 20mg T and 120iu hcg daily. T went down a hair from 667 to 654 and my hct went down from 52.1 to 50.7. Sensitive e2 is now 75. Feeling need for naps lately and achy. Nipples are not sore. Concerned doctor will want to lower my test. I'm self medicating hcg and doc is unaware of that. Should I just lower hcg dose or stop hcg to lower my estradiol level or ask doc for AI? My total test # is probably suffering from high est

I still would try avoiding an AI, even at your estradiol levels. I believe long-term the dailies will lower your E2.

Hi Dave do you feel a benefit from the HCG? If so I would continue it. Being in the 600's do you really think your doc would drop your T script amount to lower your E2?
Would he prescribe a low dose AI? Some doc don't go there, like my old doc he just threw up his hands and said exersize will raise your T naturally as he tore up my T prescription.

I think it helps some. Think I might just do 250ius every 3.5 days. My doc most likely will want to reduce my dosage but I have another 4 months before I see him again.

In the meantime there are lots of things that help reduce E2. zinc, magnesium, boron, DIM, eat cruciferous veggie at every dinner.
If you are supplementing DHEA you might want to cut back.

What was your estradiol/sensitive before the protocol change? How long have you been on the daily schedule?

 

[Dave29]

E2 was 42 with the reg test on 10/5/17. Finally convinced doc for the sensitive test which was 75 on 11/13/17.
About 2 months now with daily injections.

No DHEA being used. My hct is 50.7. Will any of your recommendations increase it?
