Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I had very high E2 and when I found it I was taking 10 grams of Testim per day and getting a 200 mg shot every other week. When we got my E2 down my Free T and Total T shot way up. So we cut out the shots my last test doing just testim it is still very high. We may cut back to 5 grams per day. As far as I can see if you have high E2 it is very hard to get you T levels up. Be it through your testis or from meds.

The intial levels were not low for their age group and are low normal for a man in his 20s. The study smacks of cherry- picking high responder candidates. Nevertheless, the study shows that suppression of E2 should be the first therapeutic course of action after ruling out illness. > > > > > >> > > >>Funny you should mention that list.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Unless E2 is normal, right? We all need E2, just not too much of it.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hi Mark According to the study, many of them didn't have extraordinary high levels of estradiol. It seems like the highest they would of been at prior to using Arimidex was 34 pg/mL, but the numbers could be misleading without a range given. Serum estradiol levels decreased from 26 +/- 8 to 17 +/- 6 pg/ml in group 1 and from 27 +/- 8 to 17 +/- 5 pg/ml in group 2 > Unless E2 is normal, right?
