[QUOTE="JustPanicNoDisco, post: 219878, member: 42100"] I just got my blood results back. I have been lowering my testosterone dose significantly over time, as I was experiencing many side effects on higher doses, which I thought may have been in part due to the high T:E2 ratio (seemed it didn't rise proportionally). I'm running 70mg of test cyp per week / 10mg ED. The following are my bloods at "trough": [MEDIA=imgur]oLPIoS5[/MEDIA] test, total: 1021 ng/dL (range 250-1100 ng/dL) test, free: 257.4 pg/mL (range 35-155) *HIGH*! estradiol, ultrasensitive: 30 pg/mL (range <= 29 pg/mL) It seems my metabolism of testosterone has changed wildly, considering in the past I was running 140 mg/wk (half my current dose) and my FT levels were about top of range, not nearly twice the top of the range! In spite of e2 sensitive being "high" at 30 pg/mL, I have a ton of low e2 symptoms - numbness, apathy, lethargy, dead libido, lacking erection fullness/quality, dry skin/hair, etc. I feel horrible right now. I'm thinking about trialing some low doses of estrogen if I can get a prescription in order to balance out the ratio. In the past, I crashed and the symptoms of low e2 never really rebounded, with ongoing symptoms similar to those of other guys, such as nurselyfe and lowe2 sucks. I used dialysis, which I believe is considered the goal standard, according to [USER=13851]@madman[/USER] Any advice on where to go from here? Anyone taken supplemental estrogen with good results? I've seen a few posts about it and talked to a couple others, but I don't want to mess myself up further. **Edit** I should add that even though my FT reads much higher on this small weekly dosage, my total T levels are slightly lower, and I feel like I have less testosterone in my body (before, I was putting on significant muscle / maintaining without even working out) + was getting quite a bit of back acne. Now, I've lost some muscle and acne has definitely lessened. I'm not sure if this lab test is some anomaly / mistake or what... I can't really afford to have more testing done at the moment (this was a package from Private MD Labs) [/QUOTE]
