I think you’re going to be hard pressed to find anyone willing to add exogenous estrogen to the mix, but I don’t want to speak for everyone. The most obvious answer would probably be to just temporarily increase testosterone to get E2 up faster.


I’m recently coming off of low E2, as well, so I feel your pain. It’s taking forever for my libido to come back it feels like. My doctor allowed me to permanently up my test dose a little bit, due to me wanting free T to be a little higher. So I’ve been just taking the slightly higher dose of test, and waiting it out. But trust me, it’s not easy, so I get where you’re coming from.


And I eat my words, not only did you get someone that is on board with adding estrogen cream to raise crashed E2, but you got the forum creator out of all people lol.

Estradiol (E2)

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.

DHT

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
