Why is it so low?
I changed to a Daily protocol for the reason of low shbg and high e2.
The new protocol worked but went a little too low.
That’s the perfect example Of how low e2 isn’t always bad or we shouldn’t judge our protocol and dosing on shbg alone. Logically You are supposed to have abundant e2 with low shbg.
This just means you can take more T. I would and maybe switch to twice weekly .
Did you check t and free t?
I did run more tests. They’re just not in yet. I’ll post on my other thread about daily dosing.
I’ve tried twice weekly and it wasn’t working. Decent numbers there too.

Are you having joint issues and urination out of control? I wonder if the test is faulty. The sensitive test is very sensitive and it’s very easy to make a mistake from what I was told.
Guys always complain of joint issues when e2 is to low.
Tough to say. I have achy knees and shoulders due to years of abuse from the gym, so I wouldn’t be able to tell either way.
I did CERTAINTLY notice that I’ve been totally unemotional. I can tell mostly with my gf. Just apathetic about things. It’s out of the blue too since starting this protocol. I KNOW it’s low e2 related
So you weren’t unemotional before trt?
I would inject myself with a weeks worrh if T today if I was 1000% sure I’m being effected by low e2. That’ll give you the kick you need.
It’s just a different feeling about things. Hard to explain other than feeling flat emotionally.
I’m going to increase the dose daily to about 18mg. That should bring up e2 slightly.
Who is your doc or clinic?
Local doc.
You’ve been dealing with little benefit for a long time it seems. Why not find a specialist in trt like dr says or dr Nichols , dr Nelson Virgil and etc? That can probably fix you right up.
Perhaps. I;'ve contemplated that.
Man that’s what I did after 3 months of nothing.
Dr. Keith Nichols healed me in days time. He said it was going to get better over 2-3 months and it’ has been.
Dr. Meehan is legit although he loved HCG and hates Scrotul cream.
Dr. Nelson virgil is good to and he falls in between.
Cannot recall the other docs who do not run clinic but have a practice.
I didn’t like clinic becuse you don’t get the same attention.
Go for it . What do you have to lose

That is a very strange upper range for the standard sensitive test which is 35
So with that in mine an E2 of 20 with an upper range of 29 is not the same E2 with an upper range of 35.
I am very surprised that E2 is your problem but heah who knows your issues is a tricky one.

I’ve always wanted to get e2 that low to see if I reclaim arousal and sex drive. Hasn’t happened
Wondering now if I need to
Go the other way. A higher e2.
When I was on 300mg every 2 weeks, I did feel an occasional libido. E2 was 49 at trough on that protocol, so obviously higher.
Still waiting on further blood results.
As long as you were not in your honeymoon phase back then It would be worth trying.
everyone seems to respond to high and low E2 different. For me low E2 my shoulders and elbows hurt after the gym. Not much else. Too high E2 and dick quits working(ED) I get extra sensitive and I start holding water weight. it is so obvious with me it is so easy to know when to take my AI and when to stop.
If you don’t mind my asking who did your E2 blood test? I ask because that is not a LabCorp range and I though Defy just used them. Is it Quest?

Yes I believe quest. It’s an ACL lab.
I don’t think I really ever felt a honeymoon stage.
