Crashed E2 recovery time

So , July 3rd I had bloodwork drawn on a dose of 10mg daily cypionate while taking .5mg anastrazole once weekly. This crashed my E2 considerably to 7. The real kicker is my last dose of anastrazole was after my blood was already drawn , so that 7 was 2 days prior to another .5mg anastrazole.

It is not Aug 1st and i take 30mg every Mon, Wed and Fri with no more AI. I also have lost a significant amount of weight due to a bout of insomnia after i crashed my iron at the same time doing a double red donation trying to be a hero at the hospital. Idiot move beyond compare.

My question is, it has been about 4 weeks since last AI dose, but i still feel the following symptoms. My doc wants to wait another month before labs for insurance purposes and with all my medical bills i agree with her.

Symptoms: Libido is high but i have poor quality erections and severe loss of sensitivity. It’s damn near impossible to climax while having sex and impossible masturbating TMI. I also have a depressed mood that comes and goes some days , but overall fairly irritable but not “ hating life” entirely. It seems to improve weekly.

Do you think I still have low estrogen or woudl you more or less assume this is still due to my crashed iron . ( just had iron infusion yesterday woo hoo ).

Thanks in advance, please no lectures on ai. I did what my doctor told me to do.

All i can say is find another doctor. Any doc that would put you on .5mg arimidex taking 70mg/wk test is a moron.
It’s gonna take time for it to come back especially if your not a big aromatizer which obviously you are not. You could try taking a big shot of test (like 200mg) and it should rise.
You could also get your own bloods taken and pay out of pocket to see whats going on so it won’t mess with insurance.

I think I am a pretty moderate aromatizer. It’s been 4 weeks , how long do you think I’ll suffer more ? I’m feeling depressed some days so badly for zero reason

No idea. You just have to wait it out. Can you take a big shot or do you have any other aromatizing compounds? 20mg dbol for a week would prob set you straight fairly quick.
Disclaimer-Both of those options are not ideal but aside from taking estrogen or waiting it out there is really nothing you can do.
