What does it mean if my ultra sensitive E2 was 19 pg/ml and my E1 Estrone was 111 on LifeExtension labcorp test
How could E1 be high and the E2 low normal. I have been off TRT for one year due to high RBC and Hct due to central sleep apnea.
Recent labs.
Test 330 ng/dL range 250-1100 Quest
Free Test 30.1 pg/dL range 35-155
SBGH 44 mmp/L range 10-50
DHEA 53 mcg/dL range 38-313
LH 1.8 mlu/ml range 1.5-9.3
FSH 3.9 mlu/ml range 1.68-8.0
TSH 3.76
54 year old male was on test pellets for 5 years never felt well but was better than now. Test levels never got above 600. Tried test cream had poor absorption and E2 sides and high DHT 156. I gave up and its now been a year but feel like death and no hope. All major side effects you would expect so no need to list them all. Considering sub q protocol with reputable clinic. Any help or guidance greatly appreciated in advance. Lots of really smart people on this board.
It sounds like your body is sending the Free T down other pathways, to estrogen and DHT. However if you have low thyroid hormones, the liver clearance of estrogen will slow down, your TSH is somewhat high and free thyroid hormone needs to be checked. I’m not thyroid expert, but this TSH may be a sign of problems and there may be a degree of hypothyroidism.
Reference ranges for TSH and thyroid hormones
As for the high HCT, you should have donated blood and started using the CPAP machine to get HCT under control. You also say you didn’t feel good with a Total T at 600, one of your labs showed Free T at 55 (low) when at Total T of 525 which isn’t high enough.
Thanks for the fast reply. Those other labs of 525 test are not mine.
I have started cpap and it’s helping. Can’t donate too frequently as I tanked my ferritin to 13 and it’s finally bounced back to 80.
