You can not raise E2 quickly, the AI is bound to the aromatase enzymes therefore no Free T can be converted to estrogen. You will always struggle to control estrogen on an AI if you are still having problems 2 years later, you should increase injection frequencies and inject smaller doses EOD or daily, this is how we control estrogen, by denying excess T to convert to estrogen.
Yeah I am going to 60 mg test twice weekly. Not gonna touch an AI for long time of ever. The blood test I had was done 7 days since my 120 mg shot and .5 Arimidex. And it was the first Arimidex I had taken in 5 weeks.
Ive tried to get bloodwork about every 4 months. Most of the time my test levels have been around 1000-1200 and estradiol around 25-35. With those tests being done a couple days after my injection
Yeah. I’m an idiot. I read all the symptoms of high estrogen and thought I had it. Instead it was just same symptoms for Low E.
I’ve learned more in a few days from these forums than any Dr around here would know. My general Dr didn’t even know why I waned my estradiol checked knowing I was on TRT
Low-> high E2 still eludes me, they are so similar. I thought I had high E2 before but it was iron and potassium deficiency, these forums can fool you reading all these stories. You read high estrogen causes problems and associates yours with high estrogen.
Yeah. I’m going to more frequent test injections and just gonna spend the extra $50 and have my estradiol and T checked Every 4 weeks til I get it dialed in.
Thanks for all the help
systemlord please stop using the word “WE” you do not speak for the rest of us. YOU try to control your E2 with daily injections.
The OP need to raise his E2 up faster than just waiting for it to natural go back up do to stopping the AI all together. You do that with one big T shot a week. This will spike the E2 and his lvl will increase faster.
I’m having the same exact problem as you even with the same lab work my e2 cam back 5. Like yours same guide lines and all. How long did it take you to raise your estrogen back up and what you did?
I haven’t had any AI for over 3 weeks and just now starting to feel better. Started doing micro dosing last week with 27 gauge 1/2 inch needles but still unsure if I should do IM or Sub Q. Started getting morning wood again but still not the sex drive from before. And still getting swollen ankles even though I’m lean around 12% BF. It’s a weird look. Lol
