1 year blood work and adjustment,ai needed ?

22 on a sensitive assay is just fine, imho. But I'd still fill the script. Always good to stock up. That said, the relationship with your doc is important so try to find a balance.

so just wait using my current protocol and get bw in 6 weeks. inspect results at that time to either add ai at or keep on with the current protocol. thanks guys. I'm not rocking the boat with the doc, just looking out for my health. All is good

Ha, exactly what I was going to say, you should see my stash from over the years. lol

It sounds like your doc may be tweaking things just to experiment a little. It probably could be due to a mix of his notes from the past and something you said as mentioned. I dont think there is anything wrong with questioning him next time you see him and I always go with the old school, how do you feel? If you feel good like said and your numbers are OK then I would not change anything unless you have to.

thanks guys ! got the scripts in the mail today,just test serum and estradiol testing in 1 month. guess we'll see what we see in that time. i dont know why he doesnt want to see e2, but maybe because its a more expensive test like kel said. thanks again

one last thought, picked up the percription at the pharmacy and directions said 1 mg 3 times a week. sounds like way too much. Should I call my doc and ask to have them test e2 again also. thanks

What is your prescription?

Estradiol = E2. The terms are used interchangeably.

The difference in the tests you had done is that one is the standard assay, the other is the sensitive assay. The latter is the more accurate of the 2.

If I were you I wouldn't change anything at all. Your sensitive estradiol of 22 is perfect for most guys. Many guys work really hard to get their estradiol to 22 on the sensitive assay.

Obviously, it's all about how you feel, but it appears that you're dialed in better than most.

Adding even a small dose of an AI will drop you below what many consider to be the ideal range for estradiol (20-30).
