Estrodiol?

I had blood work done for estrodiol. No results yet. Pretty sure it’s up there.
Is skipping a dose of testosterone cypionate a good and quick way to lower estrogen? Seems like that would work but I thought I should ask.

I’m assuming you don’t have an ai?

I do have exemestane. Don’t know what my e2 is at but I’m feeling like it’s up there. I haven’t had many estrodial tests but I seem to convert t to e too much. I over did exemestane last year and I’m sure I crashed. Had blood work done a month later and estrodial was already up to 40 on only 70mg every 5 days of cypionate. Total t was low too at 422. Must be converting too much.
I’m not overweight either.
I need to go back to 60mg every 5 days which wasn’t perfect but I felt as good as ever.
 
Actually just got standard estrodial tests. I don’t know if this includes men and woman but it’s high either way. I’m at 42 pg/mL on a scale 8 - 43 pg/mL.
I’ve had many symptoms of high estrogen. Could this be the reason?
 
What symptoms and why not raise the ai? Your complicating things, skipping a dosage in the mid cycle or last shot? It could mean your body will recover but it could also mean if you don't treat it you'll have boobs so you never know. Do I think it's that bad? no but we're all different.
 
I’m only on trt. 80mg every 5 days.
Symptoms are major fatigue, ed, weakness, depression, etc...
I may have to talk to dr. about using an AI or lowering t dose which is already low.

Wait are you not running an ai at all? To me it sounds like when an ai is overdosed. That's what I can feel if I start an ai too early in to a long ester. Well not doing that anymore but my god was I tired, took a nap 3 times/day and with that I mean low estrogen problems to make it clear.

I guess many symptoms are the same high or low. I haven’t talked to endo yet but need to figure out how to handle this and if this is the reason for my problems.
 
OP what is your approximate bodyfat percentage? For me I make way too much estrogen even on just 200 mg test a week...until I get to 15 percent or lower then all high e2 symptoms go away. I have found that finding the right AI dose is hard as **** because crashing estrogen is just as bad as it being high

I’m 5”11 193. Not fat. Not in the shape I was before either when I started feeling bad. I was 187 lbs when this started.
What t symptoms?
 
the biggest difference for me between low and high estrogen is low estrogen-i can get erections easily but low sex drive and high estrogen-i have difficulty maintaining erections and low sex drive. low estrogen also gives me dry lips
 
Low estrogen will make you turn in to the most tired man on earth. I have no known experience with high estrogen personally except the classic itchy nipples. I don't think I can explain how extremly tired I was.
