Is my E2 too high or too low.....? Please Help

[schwartzy]

I recently got my labs back and it read as follows:
Total Test: 1278
Free Test: 273
E2 < 12
These numbers were achieved on 55mg Test E 2x a week, 180iu HCG 2x a week and .25mg Adex 3x a week. I noticed my E2 was low so I cut the Adex to .25mg every 3 days. My problem is that now I have no energy, I'm tired, irritable, my sex drive sucks, I feel like I'm confused, I feel hot and sweaty a lot and I nearly cried during a movie with my wife...don't laugh....
I don't know whether to take more or less Adex. I'm not due for labs for three months.

Is is high or low???? Thanks for your responses.....

Hmm I'm Interested in this one. You should PM Stevesmi, he knows his shit on bloods.

Hi shwartzy

It looks like your Free Testosterone measure was using a test not often employed in the UK.

66-417 nanogram/dL FWRA (Free and Weakly Bound Radio Assay Method)
If it is this particular laboratory test your level of 273ng/dl, is in the upper mid-range. So all-in-all it looks like a good place to be.

Is this all you got for the E2 result: <12???
How much less than 12??? I mean, after all, 11.9 is a far cry from 0.9 in the E2 scale (and that depends on what the 12 actually stands for) and the difference in physiological effect would be tremendously wide ranging.

The general ranges of E2 (oestriadol), are between 10-30 picogrammes for normal health in men. I'm no endochronologist or andrologist, but for me, over 15 picogrammes would be an excessive amount, and I think most guys on here and other forums would agree with me on this. However, your result of <12 is as vague as it can possibly be. I mean, if the specific measurement/level was 10 or 11, then that's okay. Even 6 or 7 pg is good in the absence of symptoms on cycle or not. However, if your knocking on <5 then you can probably attribute symptoms: poor libido, tiredness, and insomnia, on very low E2.

You really need to get a more specific and precise answer for your E2 level and if you can: prolactin too. Like the other guy said, stevesmei will likely be able to offer more insight into the E2 than myself. Still, that's how I see it and I hope it helps somewhat.

Best wishes,

Craig

Check your prolactin. It could be causing your low libido issues. If your prolactin is high you will need caber or Bromo. Also you might be suppressed. Add HCgenerate from NTBM this will kick it up. Or you might need to add HCG at 250iu twice a week. You can tell if your suppressed if your sack has shrunk like a grape.
