TOTAL ESTROGEN vs ESTRIDIOL. WHATS THE DIFF?

[longhorn1]

got my bloodwork back after a very short anavar only cycle and HCGenerate

TOTAL TEST- 400 ng/dL (240-825)
FREE TEST- 90 pg/mL (35-155)
SHGB-26 nmol/L (10-50)
LH- 6.3 miu/mL (1.5-9.3)
FSH- 14.6 miu/mL (1.6-8.0)
TOTAL ESTROGEN- 295 pg/mL (130 or less)
ESTRIDIOL- 32 pg/mL (0-54)
PROLACTIN- 6.7 ng/mL (2.0-18.0)
TSH- 2.6 (.40-4.5)


after these results from my dr i was sent to an endo who just looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. he gave me a script for adex(1mgx2 EW) and said see me again in 6 weeks with new bloodwork. my question is whats the diff between total estrogen & estridiol? i have no gyno present, but stubburn fat around pecs and belly. also a loss in muscle mass and libido. i still workout 4x week do cardio 3x week and eat healthy.

Estrogen is total circulating levels.

The three subtypes are, estrone, estradiol, estriol. Estrodoil (E2) is often tested which is the most potent estrogen subtype causing the most amount of gyno and tisse proliferation.
