I concur. I just got my labs back (will post later tonight), and my sensitive E2 shot up to 68. I pin Test every 3.5 days, and take a zinc supplement daily. I have a follow up with Dr. Crisler in about 2 weeks, so we'll be discussing options...maybe an EOD schedule for Test, or a tiny dose of AI to help reign in my E2. Will discuss this later when I have more time. At the airport now...gotta go!!
