Both levels are good, don’t take an AIOther doubt
E2 blood test 38 range 42
But Ultra-sensitive 34 range 29
Why the difference? Which one is correct?
Both levels are good, don’t take an AI
No not really, Labs aren’t always the same. Because most members are on testosterone they have higher E2 levels. Most issues are caused by too low of estradiol levels. Because of AI.But because e2 is normal and the ultrasensitive is above? shouldn't they both be normal?
I believe now, he changed that to 60.was reading in Nelson Vergel's book he says that during TRT up to 50 is acceptable for estradiol, but this value is for sensitive or ultrasensitive e2
NO, you should not take an AI. Quest and LabCorp estradiol ranges are derived from men not on TRT who usually have total T over 600 ng/dl

How to Predict Estradiol and DHT at Different Testosterone Doses - Excel Male TRT Forum
I was able to come up with a table using the predictive model equation derived from data in this study: The Effects of Injected Testosterone Dose and Age on the Conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol and Dihydrotestosterone in Young and Older Men Summary This video discusses a research paper...www.excelmale.com
but how much estradiol is acceptable to avoid gynecomastia?

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.
Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.
