[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 164923, member: 18023"] I am not saying your E2 is HIGH in an absolute sense, only that the [B]conversion [/B]of E2 from testosterone is high. If my total T was 216, my E2 would likely be 3-4, and when I was NOT on TRT my E2 was often too low to measure, which meant below 5 pg/ml. If you are in the USA and have health insurance, my advice would be to go to a urologist or endocrinologist, they will investigate if there are any physical reasons for your low testosterone. But if they don't find any causes, they would very likely recommend TRT for you. You could go to Defy Medical, but then you would need to private pay. A doctor should do a standard battery of blood tests, Defy medical would recommend the following. [LIST=1] [*][B]Comprehensive Metabolic Panel[/B] [*][B]CBC[/B] [*][B]Lipid Panel[/B] [*][B]Testosterone Free and Total[/B] [*][B]Estradiol Sensitive[/B] [*][B]DHEA-S[/B] [*][B]TSH[/B] [*][B]PSA[/B] [*][B]LH[/B] [*][B]Sex Hormone Binding Globulin [/B] [*][B]IGF-1[/B] [/LIST] You could read this forum, read Nelson's free book on TRT, educate yourself, but with a total T that low nearly any doctor would put you on TRT. As to what protocol they recommend, that is why you might want to educate yourself as a check on what a doctor tells you to do. My last Estrogen sensitive test I was at 25.5 pg/ml (8.0-35.0) , middle range, not high nor low. Estrogen is derived in men from testosterone. I typically convert 1.9% - 2.45% of my T to E2. You are converting almost 7% of your T to E2, that is high. A E2 of 15 is NOT high in an absolute sense, but that is a high percentage to convert, unless maybe you are also taking a lot of dhea or clomid. If the percentage of conversion stayed the same, you would have very high E2 IF YOU TOOK TRT [B]AND [/B]the percentage stayed the same. [/QUOTE]
