Not withstanding Vince's link there why are you testing Estrone?

my doctor orders it along with sensitive estradiol which runs about 57. I just started with .5mg anastrozole 3X per week to bring it down along with 6 SHBG 150mg Tri test blend split MWF. Hate to bring the AI but I really want to just hear about the estrone if anyone has input. I have been on TRT for 5 years with very personal service MD. Either Vice have any input?

I asked because we don't test estrone, the Sensitive Test that you're using is the correct test, I can't think of why testing Estrone would be part of this, almost unheard of.
That being the case...is your SHBG really 6 or am I not reading you right?

Sorry yes
SHBG is 60,
TT 1200
FT 22.8
DHT 89
Prolactin 6.4
DHEA-S 220

I am thinking about trying to bump up my T higher to see if it eliminates symptoms of afternoon fatigue. My thyroid has been tough to dial in with elevated RT3 in mid teens. I appreciate your comments on the site. Thank you, Mark

The only way for my doctor to order the sensitive estradiol test from the lab they use is to order a test called "estrogens fractionated." This gives me both estrone and estradiol. I don't need the estrone results but with the system the way it is, I end up with it being tested.

Free T is good if this is your trough, high estrogen can cause fatigue.

Inject MWF and all labs Monday before injection.

 

[Vince Carter]

If you're seeing these labs it's on an extra day because you don't inject on Sunday make the trough that you see is not really true, its artificially lower than what you experience/feel M-Sat.

 

[MarcoFL]

Vince, what do you think is the best day for labs with a MWF injection schedule? Thank you, Mark

 

[Vince Carter]

Being labs are closed on Sunday I'd recommend that you just move up a little bit and go EOD.
