Why is my estradiol so low? Isn't it good to have it that low?

PS been subscribed 200 mg of test cyp once a week to help these numbers. Going to talk to the doc about some anti-e and even HCG.

Not sure why your E2 level is so low, but 200mg EW of test cyp should raise that up. No need to ask about an AI at this point and I doubt you'll need one at all on your weekly dose because your body fat is reasonably low and your E2 is already below the normal range.

18-23% is low?? Wow. ON the other forum I'm called fat all the time lol.

there's a big difference from 18 to 23. And yes mate ask for it and try run hcg it will be a bonus

Either way I wouldn't consider with low. I guess its the context. I want to be at 12%.

Here's my pic:

how long is he going to put u on test for? And how often is he going to make u go for a blood test?

[stevey_6t9]

your e2 may be low because of your high SHBG

im sure your doc will get more bloodwork done after 3 months or so and your numbers will improve.

Can my test level be affected by my thyroid or vice versa? I am also on thryoid meds.

I just realized something, my blood was drawn at about 1:30 pm. Could that give false low readings?

no.

usually you do a blood test first thing in the morning (test levels at highest).

i dont think 1;30 would affect it to much, maybe a small amount.

Yeah, well, they're body builders. If you're closer to the lower end of the range you mentioned you're only a couple of % away from what most healthy, non-elite athlete carry. More importantly if should mean you are less susceptible to aromatizing test into estrogen at a rate that would get your E2 levels too high.
