High SHBG and Estradiol

**Stevenc** · 05-31-2022, 08:38 AM

So I finished up my clomid about a week ago and got bloods done.
Estradiol-Ultrasensative 56 (<or29 pg/ml)
SHBG 54 (10-50 Nmol/L)
Total test 1526 (250-1100)
Free test 241 (35-155)

I feel pretty shitty, extremely bloated zero sex drive. I do have some aromasin I was considering taking but I wanted to get opinions on if that is the right move. I’m not educated on SHBG and don’t know the effects it would have if I lowered my e2 levels. Any help is much appreciated!

You took blood levels too soon after pct. You are still feeling the effects of the clomid. Everything will come down in the next few weeks. Wait it out for about a month and see how you feel.

Got it. Do you think a low dose of aromasin would speed up the process?

It will only confuse your body more. Give it time like Cy posted. As your T drops, your E2 will also drop.

OP, this is your answer. Your estradiol is not particularly high relative to your testosterone . Let the body correct itself before you do anything else.
