Hi All,

So had my doctors appointment today and he has said the sensitive E2 test is not available here.

However I had my blood tests taken yesterday and the results were.

test 6.29ng/ml range 1.75-8.16
estradiol 22pg/ml range 15.0-31.5

I took 1mg of Arimidex on Friday so would this have dropped my Estradiol, if so how do I continue dosing it as don't want to crash.

The dr has said that with my test levels and estradiol I should feel on top of the world but I don't. His recommendation is to cease the sustanon as he feels I don't get the benefit from it and to move to 75mg of testosterone gel daily and dhea as well.

Has anyone tried this, are there any recommendations?
