[QUOTE="JustPanicNoDisco, post: 231655, member: 42100"] Sorry if I wasn't clear in my post. I unknowingly crashed my E2 for prolonged periods (not with AIs, but with high-dose T and DHT derivatives, when I already had low e2), and ever since then, it seems I have been experiencing low e2 symptoms, in spite my e2 levels appearing normal on my labs. I am getting blood work this week again to check where I am, this time including free test (dialysis) and DHT as well, given that it's an AI and antagonizes E2. In the past, total T and free T have typically been just over the reference range (trough, daily shots), while estro has been middle - top of the reference range. The lowest my T:E2 ratio has been is about 30:1, while it usually hovers closer to 40:1. This could potentially result in some of the sides I'm seeing. However, when I did try using exogenous estrogen, I experienced worsened sexual function, rendering this option infeasible. I was using daily shots for a while. I've tried every other day with long esters, daily shots with mixed esters, and now I'm back to EOD dosing (22 mg EOD). Based on some of the threads where people crash their E2 and never see a recov ery in symptoms iin spite of e2 in bloods rebounding, I'm thinking I may need to restart my HPTA in order to fix the receptor issues -- or whatever else may be occurring and preventing my recovery. It's miserable down here. [/QUOTE]
