How long for e2 drop

[edmassa]

I'm going to trt cutting hcg out my protocol. Currently taking 80mg test twice week 250 iu hcg twice week . At this my test is 900 e2 38(7-42) . Curious how long it will take for e2 to stabilize for a blood test .

Also what e2 test is more reliable? The standard range 7-42 or sensetive 3-70 when shooting for the 20-30 zone

I'd wait a month before getting more labs done.

Go w the sensitive test...

Call me a contrarian, but I would use the cheaper and much more accurate (for men) 7-42 range test.

Yeah I'm confused I've heard both arguments on which e2 test.

Agreed! The range of 7-42 is more specific for men. Most feel good in the mid 20's.

Ahhh ok thanks for clearing that up I wonder if I should try 60mg twice and week and 250 iu hcg twice or just do 80mg twice a week test no ai I need to knock 10-15 points off my e2

It's been known that E2 is harder to manage fir most when combining test and HCG. Unless you have a need for HCG such as having children, then I would discontinue it. Of course that's my opinion. I don't use hCG and I inject 60 Mgs twice a week. I still take an AI, .25 mgs arimidex two to three times a week and my E2 is around 26 based on the 7-42 scale. I tried all other avenues before taking the AI but couldn't control it any other way. Of course everyone's body is different.

Hey thanks for the quick reply! What's your test levels on that dose? I hate the way ai make me feel that's what I'm trying to avoid . Do you know your e2 level before you added arimidex?

My E2 was as high as 75. My free T is always around 17.5 - 19. I believe that scale tops out at 22. It takes a while to find what works for you regarding an AI. Have you tried natural remedies such as DIM, I3C or zinc? Works for some. Just didn't work for me.
