    Estrogen

    I got back bloodwork and i dont know if i got the proper E2 test.
    My base line 12 weeks ago was 15 ,that was before trt.
    Now 12 wk later i asked my GP to check E2. And the test came back saying ESTROGENS,TOTAL <50. NORMAL RANGE 130 or less.
    How does E2 ESTRIADOL FREE SERUM compare to TOTAL,ESTROGENS?
    Is the test useless for checking e2?

    It was the wrong test. Doc should have ordered Estriadol Sensative. But you do know that your E was < 50. Doesn't do you much good but you know you aren't a girl.

    What a total waste of time and money!
    I figured it was the female estrogen test!
    I will have to go back for the proper test.
    Somehow i feel my e2 went to low due to over dosage of Anastrozole.
    I have developed tendonitis in both shoulders,lost my upper body strength and all joints, knees, hips ,elbows are hurting.

    Consider one of these private labs like privatemdlabs.com, if you are paying out of pocket. You can order the test online, get the test and results, and save the doc fee plus the doc's markup if any. These places are pretty good for interim tests, between doc visits.
