[QUOTE="Logan24, post: 148735, member: 38621"] General question about libido and E2. A few times I have dropped my e2 into the 18 range using .25mg anatrazole once per week. I feel kind of down for 2-3 days after taking it and then feel amazing (great libido and mood) for the next 2 weeks or so. Last time this happened I ran labs and e2 was 18.6 and then after 2 weeks I retested and it was 28 and I felt great. After another week or so and I was back to low libido again. My question is, does this indicate I should manage e2 to the mid 20 range (either by reducing my test dose or with an AI) or is this more likely a temporary result of e2 increasing from a low level and thus not really sustainable? Not trying to spark a debate over AI usage as I could potentially achieve this e2 range with dose reduction if that is fact worth trying. Current protocol is 28mg test cyp EOD (98mg/week). No AI for almost 8 weeks. No HCG. Also take levothyroxine and liothyronine. Feel ok on this protocol but just not much libido. Trying to determine if maybe the e2 of 41.5 is just too high for me since I felt great at lower levels albeit temporarily. These labs were taken just before next scheduled injection a couple of weeks ago. Total test 1175 (348-1197) Free t 22.1 (4.7-24.4) Sensitive e2 41.5 (8-35) SHBG 52 (10-80) was 70 on previous 2 labs Free t4 1.2 (.93-1.7) Free t3 3.2 (2-4.4) was 4.6 on previous labs I’m 41, 175 lbs at 11-12% body fat. Been dieting for the past few weeks which is why I think my thyroid dropped some and in turn SHBG. Trying to get body fat down to 10% for summer vacation. [/QUOTE]
