Is there an e2 reference range for gyno?
Gentlemen,
I know that everyone's threshold for e2 induced gyno is different but has there ever been a noted range, despite how wide it may be, in which gyno occurs? (Will be waiting for the smart ass answers of "30-500" LOL)
I am asking because I just received my blood work from my trt dose of 160/mg wk (split in two) and my e2 came back at 67 (range <29 lc/ms/ms). I have zero sides. No bloat, no anxiety, no flushing.
Now, when I was at that same dose along with hcg, my e2 was 103. I had all the above sides but never any breast sensitivity. It turned out the hcg was the driving factor because even on an AI and e2 was 32, I was still having those sides.
My main concern is because I just started my first cycle of Test E 500mg/wk two days ago and have not taken an AI because I wanted to see where my e2 was at 160mg/wk. Knowing it was at 67, I can only imagine I will be somewhere over 200 on this cycle. I was trying to not take an AI but worry I may have to.
What were some of the highest e2 readings you had/heard of and gyno did NOT occur?
I know people will say to just take the AI. Like many others, I prefer not to unless completely necessary. Not here to debate this.
As far as blood work goes, I will not be able to get this done. I don't want the Doc to find out and because of my State, online isn't an option. I have been on trt for a while and know the symptoms of high e2. I will be going by feel. Not optimal but my only choice.
Looking forward to hearing back.
Thank you!
