Estrogen high

[highpsi]

I thought I crushed my estrogen since last blood work since my joints hurt etc. It was really high last time also and I took liquidex one day after each shot for a few weeks. Joints hurt so I backed way off. How should I knock this down to a better level in the next few weeks before next bw? I just took extremestane yesterday before seeing how bad it was. Should I take .5 of the liquidex now also or wait till the next shot?

Levels were:

Estradiol pg/ml <=74 97
Estradiol 0-56 93
Estrogen <136 184
Estrone <80 91

Not familiar with these tests, what you need is the sensitive E2 test.

I think the 0-56 is the sensitive one.

How much testosterone are you injecting, and what is your complete protocol?

[highpsi]

Was at 120mg, 60mg twice per week. It was still low so doc jumped me to 180mg. Also doing 250 hcg day before shots. Test was also a little high this time around so I'm dropping to 160mg. Retest in 7 to 8 weeks. Going to get a actual script for the AI Monday hopefully.

I thank you for your post. Since I began TRT my doctor refuses to give me such a test citing that "It's for women" and "Are you taking more steroids than what is prescribed"?! So I'll do a mail-order test! Thanks again.

Whatever you choose to do be consistent with your AI protocol. Otherwise your BW may be just a snapshot in time while your body still searches for balance. Testing needs to be done while stable with your dosage. Otherwise you'll never know exactly what you need.

I would strongly suggest you think about finding another doctor.

Probably correct. Really irritates me when a practitioner flatly refuses such a request. He's not paying for it, you are, it's reasonable and within the parameters of testing for this condition.

I wish I could get another doctor, but I'm a vet and at the VAMC you are assigned a doctor and a firm.
The only way I could possibly get a different doctor I would have to put in a complaint to her superior or to administration.
Even my local doctor , a nice walking distance from my home won't give me the test and he says the same ****ing thing.
So I'll do the mail order test after I find one that is the least expensive. I even thought about going to the city hospital.
There I would have to endure the "20 questions" and then the exams and blood tests.

I'll call the medical center today to find out if the hospital does have a TRT program as well as get my estradiol and cortisol levels checked every 2 months. If so, I'm going to say to my 2 uncooperative doctors, "Auf Weidersehen".

I hear you man. A lot of jerkoffs out there. I was dialed in with andro-gel and my doc cut me off because my free -T was 2 pointsover nnormal. Even tho my testxws only 848!

That's ridiculous! How could he cut you off when the androgel was the only thing keeping you at an acceptable and optimal level? He should have his license taken away!

That's what I said! I could see if my total T was sky high but 2 points over free T is silly. The goverent is all over these doctors so they are paranoid
