Gyno question about treatment when E2 is 20. Letro?

[harley121]

I'm 47, 174lbs, 5'6", 16% bf, been working out on an off for 20+ years, on TRT for about 8 mo. finally dialed in at 100mg test. c/ week. I posted my bloodwork here a few weeks ago and got some great help as I was experiencing protruding / sensitive nipples. I can repost, but test. level was a bit high for my Dr. at 1167 and the free test. was "above range", etc. BUT sensitive E2 test showed 20 which is very good.
I went to Dr. yesterday requesting progesterone, prolaction, and all the other BW tests that I was pointed to here and he wants to wait about a month to do these till my "levels to settle out" as we just dropped from 200mg/ wk to 100/ week due to these earlier results.
Now, after about 6 weeks of the nipple thing the left one is sore, a little swollen and has a lump about the size of a button under it- its not too hard but def. there and sore to touch. I have some Letro coming by the weekend and really don't want to wait till I grow a girl boob on one side and have and irreversable condition to start treatment. So, I was going to self medicate w/ the Letro but wanted to double check w/ the Vets/ Pro's. The letro is going to take my already low Estridol levels to nothing Im sure, so if this was your boob and Dr. what would you do?

I just started letro, a lot of the people will tell you sides may be too harsh. But it's your body, and your decision. Personally I'd rather have a flat chest and deal with the sides of letro, than live with a boob.

Are you on an AI of any kind? Just trying to make sense of your low e2 with gyno.

[harley121]

Not at all. Like most on here, my Dr. just thinks pumping more test. in is the fix and that lowering the amount is going to fix this.

I think this question would be better served over in the HRT forums. There are some VERY intelligent HRT people that hang there and would likely be able to give you some solid advice on this. Check it out..

One member here gave a very good expalination that you can still get gyno and have low E if your Progesterone is too high. Thats what I went to the Dr. to get checked but since he only knows what he knows, he is running w/ his prognosis that it will lessen when my Test. level gets to 500 or so.

Sounds good, how do I get it over there and not get 2 posts going?
