[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 131802, member: 15043"] This is awesome. Really appreciate you guys posting your free E2 levels. Even just comparing the 3 of our free E2 levels is giving me some good reference data. Just imagine if more men had it done. My last labs had SHBG at 45, E2 sens at 10, and free E2 at 0.33 (0.2-1.5). So although my SHBG is slightly higher than yours Diverdown2, we have almost identical sens E2 results, and therefore pretty much identical free E2 results. It's obviously not an exact science, but can give someone with a SHBG level around ours a decent idea of where his free E2 might sit. So again, thank you very much for posting this. And with hormones, there is usually a total serum level, which is how much of that hormone is in the blood, and then there is a free level usually, which is the actual amount that is active and ready to work on a cellular level. It is usually the free form of the hormone that is what matters, because this is the form that is actually doing the work. For instance, with testosterone, your free T is what is giving you the benefits of testosterone. You could have a high total testosterone, but if you have a low free testosterone, there's not much testosterone getting into the cells and giving you the benefits of testosterone. If you have low free testosterone, your body reacts as if there is very little testosterone in your body, regardless of how high your total is. Same with thyroid. You could have all the total T3 in the world, but if your free T3 is low, you're going to experience hypothyroid symptoms. It's the same with E2, I would imagine. The free E2 is what's activating your E2 receptors. So I would imagine it doesn't matter where your total E2 sits. It's the free E2 that you want to keep in a healthy range and focus on. [/QUOTE]
