What are the most common high-E2 symptoms?

**dfwo** · 01-31-2012, 04:49 PM

Just wondering what you noticed the most if your E2 levels got too high?

**steroid.com 1** · 01-31-2012, 04:52 PM

Different for all men but if there were two (IMO) it would be nipple soreness/swelling and joint pain with water retention following real close behind.

Mine would be ED/no morning wood, sore/itchy MIPS, and EXTREME fatigue tiredness. I mean so tired you can't keep your eyes open during the day. That's my personal experience.

**Vettester** · 01-31-2012, 05:22 PM

OP, did you by chance get a recent E2 test that you're concerned about?

**dfwo** · 01-31-2012, 05:42 PM

No, but I'm getting blood drawn on Monday. Last time my E2 was 38 (3-70).

My erections/morning wood haven't been what they were like a month or two ago and I have had a LOT of joint pain. No nipple issues.

Mostly, I was wondering what the symptoms typically are.

like GD said its different for everyone, but for me it would be,

water retention, i see it in my face
loss of energy, feeling tired and sleepy
sensitive nipples, itchy nipples

Anybody ever get stuffy head, sinuses and ears from high E2 periodically throughout the day? Seems like I've had that problem. Arimidex seems to make it go away.

not me, but i get that feeling when BP goes up!

Crazy enough, there can be a lot of similar symptoms when your E2 is low. If you've been taking a AI, fair chance you might be on the low side just the same. Joint pain is a BIG one whether it's high or low. Let us know how your labs turnout.

^^^^Exactly Vette!

The symptoms of low E2 are very close to those when elevated...very close.

**ecdysone** · 02-01-2012, 07:21 AM

I'm glad this thread has gravitated towards the equal possibility that low E2 might be the culprit here. Symptoms are classic and the previous value wasn't excessive by any means.

**flatscat** · 02-01-2012, 07:40 AM

I'm glad your glad.

Don't forget the good old cry while watching chick flicks, lol.

**dfwo** · 02-01-2012, 02:56 PM

I'm not taking an AI, so I doubt that I'm low. But we'll see, I'm having blood drawn on Monday.

Post the entire lab complete with ranges...you'll get good feedback.

**dfwo** · 02-01-2012, 03:48 PM

Oh, I'll definitely do that. thanks!

My doc don't use ai;s . I've. Been taking 200 Mgs ew for 9 months now . I begged my doc to at least test my e2 and he agreed , my next app with him is April . I ordered some ai off the sponsors site . The only complaint I have is joint pain . I'm wondering if it's just cause I'm strong as an ox now and have a heavy lower body routine that might be the cause . I was thinking of taking 1/4 mg. twice a week till April and see what happens . Sencond question , when April comes how long before my appointment should I stop taking the ai so I can't return to baseline eq ? Thx studs

why until April? these kinds of docs are ridiculous! demand to test for E2. medicating yourself for AI then come off it for blood work won't give you the real picture. i highly recommend that you demand from him to do e2 test and stop taking the AI so you can get a proper diagnoses. you could be one of those who don't convert to e2, who knows!

**JAMIE07652** · 02-02-2012, 03:49 PM

Thx bass . I need to wait till April for ins reasons . I have yet to take any ai's and will wait till April to see what the e2 is before I add the ai .

**bass** · 02-02-2012, 05:35 PM

how about doing the test yourself?

http://www.privatemdlabs.com/lab_tes...search=e2#1001

you can get 15% off and it'll cost you $58, its better to know where you're at so you can have your doc prescribe AI if needed. its up to you, if you don't feel any symptoms then maybe its okay to wait until April, but if yo have any symptoms I'd do it if i were you.

**JAMIE07652** · 02-04-2012, 08:53 AM

I can't afford that for sure ! Thx bass

From what I've read it adex will be in your system for around 7-8 days, depending on "your" system. I'm not talking half-life, just within your system. E2 returning to normal will also vary from person to person. I'll use myself as an example. On Nov 29th my E2 tested at 5 with a range of 3-70. All AI usage was stopped cold and I retested Jan 5th. Result was 15. Tested again on Thursday and results are not back yet. Once again everyone's body responds at different rates and it's a learning process for all of us. Be careful the course you choose and go slow.
