    E2 question

    My latest bw showed serum test at >1500 on the Labcorp scale of 348-1197 with E2 at 40 on a scale of 0-70. My question is does E2 need to be lower say 20ish or does it matter given the level of test? I feel fine. No joint pain, libido is ok. Can E2 be based on a ratio to the serum test reading or does it need to be a more specific level?

    Having it a bit high may be beneficial as long as you aren't getting any adverse high estrogen reactions such as gyno Some guys have gyno flaring at 30 or 40 and some can have a estradiol reading of 60 and still be fine. It is individual and I don't believe that an tT:E2 ratio is as important as keeping estrogen in normal range.

    It will be most difficult to receive an actual reading of your testosterone as most if not all cycles will skyrocket past the measurable range they have set.

    ^^This. 600 the LEF foundation recommends a level between 20-30 as a guide. But, it's based on how you feel. Joints, erection quality, etc. You're the judge here. Mine runs low at 16-18 and all is well. So, we are all different and respond to external stimuli in different ways.

    Thanks guys for the input. With my E2 at 40 I have no symptoms of gyno at all. I will up the adex a bit and see if there are any changes. I'm coming to the end of a blast so I should be able to see if there is any effect.
