    Extremely depressed, high estrogen levels. Please help.

    Hello, this is my first post, but I've been a long time reader. I don't know if this is the right place to post this or even the right site for that matter, but I hope someone can help me.

    My first cycle ended months ago. I used clomid to successfully get my T levels back to:

    Total: 865 ng/dL
    Free: 26.82 ng/dL (which was considered high by LabCorp)
    Dihydro: 76 ng/dL

    But, my estradiol is at 52 (also considered high - normal range is 7.6 - 42.6). I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) which complicates things, but I think my main issue right now is the high estrogen levels. I wake up every morning crying. I'm making horrible, emotional bitch like decisions and it's destroying my life. It's humiliating and I want my life back. I'm taking aromasin to try to lower it, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm desperate. Any suggestions?

    if it doesn't level off in time you can get liquidex from the sponsor, banner at the top right corner. you probably only need 0.25-0.5 mg once a week for 4 weeks! E2 at 52 is not really something to be concerned about, i am sure it will come down in time. are you feeling any high E2 symptoms besides crying?

    I'm very fatigued and have low libido. Minor ED going on. Nothing going on with my nipples. I have some Arimidex as well. Would that be better than Aromasin ? I also have some Nolvadex , Letrozole and Clen if any of those would help or be better?

    aromasin has less sides, take it in stead of liquidex if you have it, but be careful, too much you'll crash your e2 and end up in worse situation. make sure you don't take it more than a month, even that i think its too long, maybe just for two weeks and see how you feel. remember no more than 0.5 mg per week.

    LOL I'm glad you think it's funny. I've just got a lot of issues right now, bad break up, business is bad, diagnosed with disease, etc. Life ****ing sucks. I honestly never thought it could ever get this bad. I guess this is rock bottom. And I would never admit any of this shit to anyone if it weren't for anonymity. lol

    0.5 mg per week? I'm taking LiquiARO and it says 25mg/ml - 30 ml. I fill the dropper up once a day to 1ml. Am I taking too much?

    Hey desperate, not to trying to sound like I'm telling you what to do, but anonymity can sometimes make a bad situation worse. At the least you may want to see a therapist in the short term so that you have someone to talk to that is 100% confidential. Even better if you can find a friend that you can confide in. The truth is that everyone comes undone during life at some point - everyone. You're not alone out there.

    Shoot me a PM sometime if you feel like venting about anything. Not as good as grabbing a beer, but hey.

    Did you have E2 measurements before you cycled?

    After people abuse "steroids " it often takes months to get back to normal. I recommend not doing it really, your story is quite common and some people just dont rebound as well as others.
