My estro levels

[franksepe]

I take 100mg a week of test. My free test levels are at 646pmol/l reference range 196-636pmol/l and my E2 is at 91 reference rage <150pmol/.

I dont have great erections or orgasms atm. I have been on this cruise dose 5 years. I think my test levels increased when I went on thyroid medication for hypothyroidism some how. I think they went up slightly. My erections are not that great and im not very horny. I take 100mg every 7 days of cypionate. I do notice that on day 6th or 7th day just as im about to inject again, I feel more horny than any other day.

I was thinking I may need a TINY TINY bit of an AI which I do not want to do. For 4 years I was fine until I added in thyroid medication which I am on permanently now. I was thinking of doing a injection every 4 days of 50mg instead of just adding in an Ai. I dont like adding in drugs if I dont have to. or I could just do a injection every 8 days but I was thinking 50mg every 4 days may be a tad better.

What do you guys think? AI's bring more side effects and I liked how I felt when I had nothing balancing my estrogen.

My Friend, you need more than a Tiny Bit of an AI.
Usually most guys on Cycle, have the Best Results when their E is between Mid 20's to Mid 30's.

And you're at 91 for your E, no wonder you're Limp.
Get some Aromasin and start @ 12.5 Mg Every day for 1 Week, then go to 12.5 Mg EOD (every other day).

Then you should Redo your Bloodwork after 2 Weeks and see where your E is at.
This will help you to determine if you need to Increase or stay the same with your Dosage of Aromasin................................ JP

This is pmol/l not ng/dl or whatever your used to. 90 pmol is just above mid level. Its not high at all. I am in Canada.

Here's the ranges by Age in Pmol and the other way..................................... JP

[FONT=&quot]To answer these questions, we can go back to a 2000 Clinical Endocrinology study where they summarized a variety of hormone levels by age, including estradiol:[/FONT]
20-29: 102.9 pmol/l
30-39: 94.17 pmol/l
40-49: 90.76 pmol/l
50-59: 81.02 pmol/l
60-69: 78.82 pmol/l
70-80: 80.37 pmol/l
[FONT=&quot]The above are in international units and not the standard pg/ml, so let me do that conversion for everyone reading this in the U.S. (The appropriate conversion factor is 3.671.)[/FONT]
20-29: 28.0 pg/ml
30-39: 25.7 pg/ml
40-49: 24.7 pg/ml
50-59: 22.1 pg/ml
60-69: 21.5 pg/ml
70-80: 21.9 pg/ml

Are you on prescribed TRT? 100 mg per week is a very low dose in my opinion

 

[franksepe]

Yes its prescribed and this is the dose everyone is suppose to be taking. Just online everyone takes more than 100mg. I see a endocrinologist. Look at my blood results it put me over the normal range. Even the labels warn do not go over 100mg a week from the drug makers.

The drug producers just cover their backs by giving all sorts of precautions, even if they are not needed. That's how they keep themselves safe from any sort of crazy law suits. 100 mgs is an ok dosage, but we got to admit that it is not enough to put some guys in the right levels. Do as @jp said, and you should be fine.

 

[stevesmi]

as was said the units are different then what most guys are used to..

everyone is so fast to blame estrogen or testosterone levels for libido problems when the facts are 99% of the time it is other factors. the biggest thing with men when it comes to libido and erections is heart health. if your heart is in bad shape then blood flow is going to be bad. also lifestyle, and also sleep, and mental issues. there was one client of mine who was on anti depressants who was complaining about libido, well what do you expect? drugs have side effects.. I told him to either stop the drugs or get used to it

I can tell you that my doctor is happy with my e being anything below 130. I am in canada so the same units you were testing in. I prefer my e to be around 80 or so and feel best right there. So all this to say that yours at 90 should be fine and probably not the cause of your issues.

Why are you so anti an AI? An AI won't hurt you at all and will only help you. Low estrogen levels create a more favourable environment for fat burning. Some estrogen is needed, but low-normal estrogen levels are optimal for men. I would order aromasin from ag-guys.com and use 5mg EOD with your TRT.

Aromasin is a suicide AI so there will be no estrogen rebound when you stop using it.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I suggest that the OP look at some other factors such as diet, rest, stress.
