[QUOTE="Appassionato, post: 148044, member: 37892"] I had elevated prolactin since started with finasteride 8 years ago. Then when I dropped it, my T was 200-300 and my estradiol around 28 pg/mL, but the unbalanced testosterone to E2 ratio was raising my prolactin to around 20 ng/mL. So for me the biggest symptoms are gynecomastia and hair loss when it's elevated. I have a 2 cm gynecomastia under my left nipple that flares out when my prolactin goes above 13-14 ng/mL. I know many people says gynecomastia is caused my E2, but in my case is mostly related to prolactin, that spikes when there's a sub-optimal T/E2 ratio. To give you an example, when I was on HCG and T enanthate, without any AI, my E2 was 102 pg/mL and prolactin reached 48 ng/mL in one blood test, maximum I ever had. While when I was on T enanthate and 6.25 mg of exemestane per week, E2 was 27 pg/mL and prolactin 9 ng/mL, lowest I ever had without using cabergoline. [/QUOTE]
