Problems with E2

Hey guys...

For years I never needed an AI. Last 2 cycles I have been having some issues with itchy nips, weird libido (no erection issue tho) and a little bit of bloat. Nothing major and no gyno.

My cycles always look like this

600 of sust split M and TH
50mg of proviron ED

and this cycle I added 12.5mg of aromasin ED

So I got some blood work done and my estro was high. So I took action. Result below

Labcorp regular e2 tests - Ranges for men: 7.6 - 42.6 pg/ml

2018/01/27 - e2 was 59.4
2018/02/10 - e2 was 40.3 (yaay)
2018/03/12 - e2 was 25.7 (wooo)
2018/03/30 - e2 was 51.7 (WTF)

so then I decided to take a e2 sesitive test... Ranges for men: 8.0-35.0 pg/ml

2018/04/02 - e2 was 10.0

What the heck??

Only symptoms are a bit decrease in libido, but then again there isnt a misses in the life now. Erections are fine and solid. Sleep is ok but sometimes I am hot. A little achey but I believe that may be due to the long hours ive been working and also training. Mood is fine.

Can someone give me some advice? My e2 seems to be everywhere and I cant understand it.

EDIT: Bloat is down down down.
 
Id tend to trust the sensitive test. But where you are in your cycle (ie test pins) will affect e2 readings, as will blood draws relative to pins themselves.

I think you need to back off your AI dose.
 
Thank you for the quick reply.

Yes, I usually check bloods the day after a pin. So always Friday’s (but sometimes saturdays - like once or twice). Everything is on schedule.

I do agree with you on cutting back in the aromasin to 12.5 eod instead of ed. And I’m glad you replied with your opinion on which test you preferred. That’s what I was looking for.

Anyone else wish to add their opinions, please do so.
 
I also wanted to ask if people believe this also may be a issue with sust. Labs show it’s real, but I’m wondering if the bloods are out of wack due to the 4 different esters in it

What’s your opinion?

Thanks
 
Sorry can’t contribute any advice to your situation but you say you check your bloods every Friday. You do this at home?
 
Not every Friday, almost every other or whenever I feel like I may be off

No, I “buy” the test online (buy it is just getting paperwork) , they email you the test paperwork and bring the paperwork to labcorp. They draw it there.
 
Yup. This was the first cycle i felt it on but i caught it quick. Im not really gyno prone and i wouldnt of thought much about it. What led me to check my e2 is that i was barely able to stay awake at work. I was exhausted all the time. Now i feel a lot better but clearly i need ti adjust again.
