Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Your Estradiol is not normal for a man you might be in the normal range but your to high. Most men do better at 20 pg/ml when my levels are this high and they are today I have Panic Attacks I had one yesterday and needed to take .5 mgs of Arimidex when it happened then this morning it started up again and I need to take .5 mgs more. I know it was to high the panic feelings stopped and I got some dam hard wood about 2 hrs later. Your wasting your time testing Estrogen this tests are not for men they are for women. I think I asked you if your DIM is Indolplex/DIM you keep saying your on 200 mgs Indolopex/DIM comes in 120 mgs tablets. What is the name of your DIM and what is in it there is a lot of junk out there saying it's DIM but it dose not work.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yes Indolplex/DIM will lower your Estradiol levels and yes Zinc helps keep it lower a little do add 2 mgs of copper when taking Zinc. When you get some strong night time and morning wood the kind that wake you up you will know your Estradiol levels are good. keep taking the DIM but is wood stops your Estradiol levels are going down to low so just stop taking it until the wood comes back. That day go back on it but cut the tablet on half.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Do you feel hot and sweat easy or have sore and hard nipples you need to be able to tell when your levels are to high so you know how much DIM to take. Most of us lose are night time and morning wood when to high.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Men have much lower level then women most women's labs only go down to 20 and the women's test is not as sensitive so you can't get a good reading using them. When I first started to test it all they had were labs for women and I was very high on the test over the top of the range. So you can tell if your to high on them labs but as you take Arimidex and start bring down the level. A women's test will come back saying <20 and we need to know how low we are. My SHBG is on the low side 18 so I need to keep my Estradiol lower about 15 pg/ml most men do well at 20 pg/ml some are fine at 30. When a womens lab tells a men he is <20 he can be way down there doing Arimidex I was on the sensitive test as low as 10 pg/ml. There is a new test out by Quest it's an Ultra. Sensitive test with a range of <29 this test has big problems a lot of men were feeling high and getting a result of <4 I can't see how a man can be this low. I did both tests on the same blood draw and the Ultra. test come back <4 and the sensitive test come back on the high side 28. My Dr. called a rep he knows at Quest labs and was told they are having problems with this test. Dr. is so mad at them over this test he is not using Quest labs anymore.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I would have your sugar tested night sweats can be your suffering from hypoglycemia. I have this problem due to low Cortisol levels and when I went on Cortef HC this stopped. I had to stop eating carbs and would need to eat some meat, cheese or nuts before bed to keep my sugar levels up through the night.

Imagine women have levels around 200. So a test that is = or - 20 points is still okay for them. When your level is 25 = or - 20 point is sa big deal. _________ " Two novels can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Phil hit it on the head E2 is optimal at 20-30 pg/ml which is measured on the sensitive test with 4021x from quest or senitive estrodial (3-70) range on lab corp Total estrogen is a female test and if your dr is running it then he is not trained properly in HRT. Lower the shbg more likely the e2 needs to be lower due to increases bio availablity. > >> > >> Your Estradiol is not normal for a man you might be in the normal range but your to high.
