    uncommon problem with estrogen levels

    hey guys been a long time.

    I was in a very bad situation of depression last year and some things happened to me physically.

    I had very high prolactin all the time because of stress, now that it has gone down a massive hormone imbalance took place in my body.

    as you might know, or not, prolactin is actually an aromatase inhibitor of sorts, my estrogen at the time when my prolactin was a bit high was actually on the lower limit of the normal like 25 or so on a scale of 7-42, my testosterone was high it was 1039 ng/dl on a scale of 280-800.

    now that my prolactin actually went down my estrogen suddenly shot up a lot, i felt estrogen symptoms so i checked my blood levels immediately, itchy nips, small testis, no libido etc...i also began to take 100 mg of clomid to block and keep the estrogen from shutting me down until the aromatase levels return to normal after the rebound, i took my blood levels and they came back estrogen was 66 on a scale of 7-42 and my testosterone 922 ng/dl on a scale of 280-800.

    I am lost as to what should i do since my estrogen are not going down easily and its taking a lot of time, i thought of taking aromasin as a suicidal because i do not want the rebound but i cannot find any around here at all, i have arimidex though.

    conclusion is, my testis is still small and soft, my sex drive sucks, energy levels suck, mood sucks too and i feel like on a hormonal rollarcoster.

    what do you guys suggest please help.

    Yes, everything is clear i did an mri, the doctor said that it will balance itself out eventually, but its taking too long thats why i am trying to find a way to regulate it somewhat and ease up the transition. any thoughts?

    What are your stats? Age and bf% and cycle history?

    Can you also post your lab results?

    I am 27 yo, i weight now 80 kg, my bf is about 20%, i did a fair amount of cycles from all kinds but ive been clean for about 2-3 years now.

    I mentioned my lab results in the original post, my testosterone is now 922 ng/dl on a scale of 280-800 while my estrogen is fairly high at 66 ng/dl on a scale of 7-42 for normal adult men, i did an MRI clean as a whistle, i am also taking clomid now because i dont want the excess estro to shut me down.

    Total Test level is good but what's important is the Free Test level. This is the Test free to bind. Your Free Test level may be low. If you're having E2 issues you should look at adex .25mg ed for 4 weeks and take a blood measurement. If your total Test level is high you're aromatizing Test into E2. What's your free Test level?

    Progesterone antagonizes estrogen. Prolactin has no real use in men.
    Just drop the Clomid (as it is boosting your test levels too high, causing excess e2 production), and incorporate a low dose of adex. If you want to lower practin, just get a dopamine agonist.
    And E2 that is produced from your natural test levels won't shut you down, since the negative feedback loop will only lower test levels enough to keep E2 in check.
