E2 Recovery after Aromasin Crash

I seem to be an over-responder to literally everything and crashed my E2 taking 1mg Aromasin EOD. My last dose was 8 days ago. Should my aromatase have recovered yet? If I’m honest i don’t feel any different from when it was crashed. But I want to be well clear of any suppression before i get another blood test. My bloods are attached. Taken on trough day. I’ve told my doctor about that prolactin result and he’s calling me in a few weeks. That’s a mystery seeing as my E2 was low.

I have also lowered my HCG to a tiny 125iu E3D as my LH was too high.

My T is cyp, 12.5mg EOD. Any higher than that and my free T is too high.

It can take weeks or in some cases months to recover from crashed estrogen.

You could take daily Cialis to change your T:E2 ratios, which takes several months

Your labs doesnt make sense. Are you on clomid or something? Your LH should be close to 0 while on test and hcg.

Hcg only mimics LH, it doesnt actually raise your LH.
And that high prolactin with that low e2 is odd.

Its very bad to have that low e2. Raising hcg dose instead might help to up your e2.

Yeah. I was surprised my LH was that high at 125 EOD but I’m in the UK and I think my test is the type that mistakes HCG for LH, anyone know what I’m talking about?

Although to be fair in the past when I’ve been injecting without hcg i have been showing a little LH/FSH and the TRT doc couldn’t explain it.

I might have had a little Metoclopramide in my system when i took that test, which raises prolactin a but but probably not that much. I think my doctor is going to call me because i gather i may need to be checked for prolactinoma…

I mean, I’m 9 days off aromasin now is it worth titrating my hcg again or shall i just try and stick with this protocol abd see if i can get by without an AI?

No clomid

Thanks, i didnt know it does that? I have several months supply actually. I don’t know anything about ratios

Conclusions: Sustained improvement in sexual function after 12 months of tadalafil administration is associated with increased T:E ratio mainly related to reduction of E levels. We hypothesize that androgen-estrogen cross-talk and possible inhibition of aromatase activity during chronic exposure to tadalafil might have a role in the regulation of erectile function.

Thanks! And i know i have no adverse reaction to tadalafil. I’m around 10 days off Aromasin and this morning had pretty strong morning wood and today first solid erections in a really long time although i can almost feel myself already passing that sweet spot and starting to aromatise too much. I’m going to arrange another blood test asap.

That’s the first thing I saw too. These look like labs from a natural, non TRT user.

Arent there certain assays that register hcg as LH?

I’m not sure TBH but both FSH and Lh?

Im pretty certain some assays cant diferentiate between LH. No idea about FSH…
