Is Lack of Estrogen Causing Issues with My Sleep?

So if I go to .3 (60 mg) E3D, that would give me 120 a week and sometimes 180

.3 monday 5 pm
.3 thursday 5am
.3 saturday 5am

weekly 180mgs

Okay I can give that a whirl, I’ll just have to talk to my doc because I’m sure I’ll have to get my script filled sooner

Get your SHBG measured. It’s likely high and eating up a lot of your total test as well. The fix is more testosterone.

High shbg could be caused by many issues. If you fix that issue you can lower shbg.

Increasing testosterone is a bandaid in this situation. Though it may be the only choice if you can’t lower.

You’re in a really good position here.

You don’t aromatase much and clearly have high shbg. Take more T, you’ll aromatase more and likely have very decent (upper range T), and E2 will raise into where you want it to be.

Most people have to try and keep E2 in check when they raise there dose.

Also- what ester are you on and how long have you been on it?

As has been said- more T.

You could also switch to once weekly injection as that will increase aromatisation due to the larger spike.

I have not seen any way to lower shbg on here?

I’m on Cyp for a year and 3 months

Really? It’s all over … anyway, boron, proviron, carbs, more test, all lowers SHBG

Just add more T. Its the easiest, safest way.

Okay I just started that today. I’ll check back in 6 weeks

I doubt increasing your e2 through increasing your T is going to improve your sleep. A few weeks off xanax will still likely have a negative impact on your sleep. Your allosteric modulatory sites on GABAA receptors are probably still under-stimulated or downregulated.

If your T and E2 rise and your sleep isn’t improved, you’ll know to look elsewhere. Hopefully it’s just as simple as raising your T dose, but I doubt it.
