Calcium D-Glucarate brought my E2 down I think...

[Guest guest]

I thought I'd post my recent results and ask a question.

I'm 41. Diagnosed at 26 with secondary hypo.

I never addressed my estradiol until 4/27/2010. My endo at that time was

reluctant to get into it. After I insisted, he finally capitulated giving me the

Labcorp Estradiol, Serum, MS test. It came back at 59 in a range of 8 to 35. He

refused to treat it. He said it was high due to a conversion from T, it was

perfectly fine. Realizing I had spun my wheels long enough I started looking for

another doctor.

While looking I started taking 500mg daily of Calcium D-Glucarate. I did not

think it was doing anything.

I found a new doctor and obtained my latest estradiol results last week. It was

21 in a range of < or = 29. This was the ultrasensitive test.

The first test was the wrong type of test. Does it matter? Can I still use that

test to correctly say there was a considerable reduction in my estradiol? 59

seems pretty high but I don't know if the two test can be compared at all.

Thanks
