[QUOTE="jasinc81, post: 82994, member: 16527"] Update: I sent my doctor a note this morning asking about my E2 levels being so low. I also asked to include an Estradiol sensitive test in my next set of labs. Here is is response: [I]"The low E2 results are likely due to lower testosterone levels. So, when the testosterone drops there is less to convert to estradiol, meaning that the estradiol then drops.
