Should I let Estrogen get higher?

1000 in a trough is still relatively high. HCG will probably increase e2 as well..

Feel pretty great right now with no side effects. Hoping I feel even better with the increase in E2. Waiting to do HCG once I feel comfortable with everything else. Though I've heard mixed reviews on this forum of whether people like it or not.

HCG gave me anxiety like crazy. I quit HCG and anxiety gradually subsided, but it took weeks.

Your post and others I have read have led me to hold off on HCG because of the many complaints like that.

Fitnessguy, are you still having the water retention at E2=15.9?

I am not, I don't think it's estrogen related anymore.

Depends how you feel. I would. I don't feel just great at that low. Libido is low.

estrogen effects libido? Then why don't guys on clomid and nolvadex have low libido?

100% yes. Not sure ok other drugs. Clomid though you see mixed results. Hell, even on TRT some people can't get libido right. E2 balance is the biggest factor ime.

When I was on Clomid I had zero libido. It was a crazy feeling. On TRT with E2 levels that fluctuate between 50 and 35, I always want sex.

I was on Clomid for 3.5 years. I was always horny as hell but never had strong erections. Works different for everyone I guess.

Too much, or too little, estradiol can impact libido and sexual function. Balancing that essential hormone is a key part of the whole process.

I use to struggle with my estrogen, as well as had chest issues such as itchiness on my chest/ armpit areas. Gyno once too. 2 years later, I think some of it was in my head. When my estrogen was a 20 or so I'd be happy yet still had sides as mentioned above. But I was irritable and weak. Fast forward 2 years, I couldn't imagine letting it get thst low. Last test on the sensitive showed me at 44. I no longer use arimidex like I used too. I feel stronger too. Now, I only take a sliver I cut off of a 1mg tab every so often. Sometimes weeks.
