    E2 came in a little high. what should i do? other test results posted too.

    So my E2 came in a little high. should i lower it? i have 25mg tabs of Exemestane. I could crack them in half and take 1/2 (12.5mg) EOD, or ED. OR is it not really a big deal? what should be perfect and how do i get there?

    Estradiol: 45.7 High reference interval: 7.6 - 42.6

    here is everything. My cholesterol looks good i think. how about you? My Testosterone is in there as well. the dosage was .2ml Test C. E3D. that about right potency wise?

    maybe i could just lower my test dosage to .15ml? i guess it doesn't matter anyways since i'm starting a new batch of test C.

    What's the concentration of your T Cyp? Did you do the blood test the same day you were scheduled for test injection (prior to do it)? 1200ng/dL is just too high, that level is reached with 200mg/week or so.

    IMHO I wouldn't take any AI, your E2 is not high enough to mess with inhibitors, especially if the method used is not LC/MS-MS (other methods tend to give a higher value)

    My dr. didn't get excited about my E2 until it hit in the 90s. Only then did I start an AI protocol.

    Was is a day or 2 days? It makes a big difference in the labs. The lab draw should always be on the exact same day of the injection cycle and best if you can narrow that down to a few hours. This will ensure that lab results are comparable. Otherwise, you have no reference to compare back to. This will help you to better understand how the changes in your protocol affect your labs. Most guys will do the lab draw just prior to the next scheduled injection, so on a E3D injection cycle that is 72 hours post-injection.

    Also, regarding you dose (0.2 mL of 250 mg/mL T-cyp), that equates to about 117 mg/week, which is both a very good starting dose and a very good injection interval (E3D). I wouldn't change that up or down until you have 72 hour post-injection labs.


    Regarding E2, I wouldn't much with an AI at that borderline high dose, particularly until you have dependable 72 hour post-inject labs. Yes, it may go a little out of range on 24 to 48 hours post-injection (when T is highest), but most of us base our decisions on nadir (not peak) hormone levels. If you are going to attempt to bring it down, I'd read up on the vodka/eye dropper method. I posted a link to my method in the top sticky (Best Practices in TRT). I'd also read the entire Best Practices post. I tired to answer most of the common beginner questions in a single post.

    DAMN. that's pure knowledge. i created a notes section on TRT in my excel workbook for gear just because of your post.

    you have a link, or a path for your post?

    what is vodka eye dropper method? that's not putting vodka into my eye is it? that sounds very painful.

    It's at the top of the sticky list on page 1 of the forum. It's the first post of the string. Suggest you start there, lots of good information from questions I've answered over and over. There's also a link within the post to the Vodka/Eye Dropper method for delivering small does of anastrozole. It goes into a beverage, not you eye.

    I felt fine. But that was years ago and I wasn't as aware of my body as much as I am now. Nowadays I catch myself getting emotional over weird stuff if my E2 is too low or high. Physically, I don't really feel any different. Since I've been on TRT for so long and I spent the first four to six years without an AI, my doc and I are trying to dial in the how much, how long and how often.

    If u dont feel bloated or significant symptoms, your e2 is good. Makes u stronger.
