Low e2 symptoms for a long time

[Raf777]

Hey everyone I have a huge problem with estradiol. I am constantly tormented by symptoms of low estradiol. I have not taken any IA since December. I am currently taking 100 mg test prop e2d. My mood came back for a while, but continued poping joints and being flat. I decided to hit 2500iu hcg and the next day the low estradiol feeling came back. I don't know what this is about, I went for tests and the estradiol came out 83pg/ml (11-44). I got it down to around 50-60 but no improvement. Usually when I overdo IA I would have joint pain and be flat for only 2 weeks and now it takes forever.

Any ideas?

So what's the reason that you use an estrogen blocker?

I used a blocker (0.05 mg Letro) to make sure that the high e2 was not the problem. It's still high enough to be a little over the scale or in the upper normal range.

I would stop using Letro and see what you feel like. You may not even need Letro, a lot of men do better with higher E2 levels.

My e2 is low to low normal even when my Tt is 700+.
Crazy but I have thought about supplementing with a weak estriol cream as an experiment??
Who knows.?

No way I coould take a cream for postmenopausal woman. Im wondering, why the hell my body can’t adjust without AI and high enough e2 and T on paper.

Not crazy if you're on TRT and your E2/T ratio is on the low side. But I wouldn't mess around with estriol. I'd go right for estradiol—with sane doses that yield physiological values for serum estradiol and the E2/T ratio. Doing this shouldn't be considered much different from experimenting with AIs or SERMs when one's E2/T ratio is high.
