[QUOTE="Reason, post: 103966, member: 17508"] Interesting. Thanks for the info everyone. I just drew follow-up labs but the only thyroid items in the order were TSH and RT3. TSH was normal pre-treament, but I know this is incomplete info. I'll see when I get results back if they'll tell me anything and consider a full thyroid panel. Even if there is an underlying thyroid issue, the E2 as high as it is worries me. Nelson himself, who advocates restraint with managing E2, often mentions E2 > 50 as an issue. I'm 37 and I don't want the higher cancer risk and others from years of elevated E2. Switching to a daily regimen could help, it seems, and I've dropped the DHEA completely. I might also discuss lowering my T dose during my mini-consult on Friday. One thing to note: I had gynecomastia when I was younger, hit during puberty and never went away, and surgically removed it in my mid-20s. I know causes of gyno are more complicated than estrogen, but I think this is important and leads me to think I have a propensity to aromatize T more than most. I have a bit of remaining glandular tissue on the right side and none on the left, so I'm guessing this won't be a problem again (crosses fingers). [/QUOTE]
