your boys hang “tight” or close to the body with high E? Is that what you meant?
That post is a year old and he doesn’t frequent the boards anymore.not sure why I hope he’s ok.
The logic behind E2 had changed drastically here in the past months. Read around and you’ll find that every man has a different range of e2 that is healthy. Some can get away with 50 or 70 and others are crying at 70. Some can’t do 22. I can’t do 22. I have hot flashes and etc.
Just don’t be scared of e2. Let it ride out when you start. If you have sides get labs and back it up with symptoms. No symptoms? Don’t take an ai.
Try lowering dosage and frequency to alleviate l symptoms before ai as well.
Read around and you’ll see what I am talking about all over the place. Research!

@enackers this weekend i had bouts of armpit sweat. like a lot. i wasnt “hot” but it was on and off most of the weekend when i went out. could that be E related?
Your levels are fluctuating, levels go high and you sweat, levels swing low and sweat goes away. Testosterone, DHT activates the sweat glands and can improves skin collagen.
Yes.

not to beat a dead horse, but why you say “high E” is that high relative to the standard medically accepted range or is it high in relation to the amount of test i have in my bloodstream?
Also - to play off of that question - can one have middle of the road or even low T levels but have a proportionally low E level as well and still have no signs of low T and have a healthy libido due to the differential ?
Yes, in relation.
I think once you get low enough in either you will start to feel it.

i talked to doc today and am going to push the date of my 2nd round of BW up sooner than the 90 day scheduled date
Ok everyone I’m back and have had some highs and lows getting back to feeling sexually healthy.
Ive been on this protocol since October and want to point out some of my observations and I hope those that review would compare it to my previous blood tests. Again I still believe that feeling is much more important than numbers so I will try to share everything I can.
Protocol:
160mg split between Tuesday and Thursday.
0.4mg Arimidex.split between Tuesday and Thursday with option to use another 0.2 for a total of 0.6. For the sake of this blood test, I did three consecutive weeks at 0.6 arimidex.
First off, sorry I only have the non sensitive E2 test I had asked to eliminate it but I guess the doc wrote the bloodwork wrong and accidentally removed the sensitive.
This is the only bloodtest I have received where I got it on a Tuesday, I got the bloodwork done at 8am before I did my injection and took another dose of Arimidex. If you compare it to the last time I had blood work done at 160mg test and 0.5Arimidex, my levels barely drop. So all my other blood tests were two days after injection and this current blood test was 4 days after last injection.
Is my TSH too high, if so should I lower it and how should I go about that?
Could I be having a prolactin issue? My primary issue is ability to orgasm.
Just had sex three times last night and could not feel close to orgasm even with extra effort (was able to on Friday night in which I did my injection and 0.4mg AI, Also did 300iu HCG(which this could potentially be the culprit as it seems to have been in the past but Im trying to keep things active down there so I jumped back on it a week ago.) then Saturday and Sunday It wanted no business in the matter.) I use Cialis nights Im with a woman but even without it I have been able to get decent erections. I have not been having consistent morning erections and when I do they are half decent quality so I definitely know I’m still out of balance.
Just to continue clarifying I fluctuate from 193-195 lbs at 7-8% BF, workout 6 days a week and eat an incredibly healthy diet.
I’m planning on making another check in call to Defy this week, so If there is anything I should bring up with them please feel free to let me know.
TSH is a stimulating hormone, it’s not a thyroid hormone and the only way to lower it is thyroid medicine. Your estrogen could be lower than stated possibly explain difficulty orgasming. Also your estrogen for all we know is fluctuating do to using the AI infrequently as its half life is about 30 hours, your estrogen doesn’t stay static at 25 all week, it moves around and only frequent testing will show where its going.
Libido, erection and orgasm quality has a close relationship to estrogen. More frequent dosing, lowering the dosage slightly could allow you to ditch the AI altogether.
