Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How much Androgel are you on 5 or 10 grams and what were your levels.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've been on 7.5g daily for a while. I went to Labcorp for my sensitive estradiol test and mine was 21 pg/mL on a scale of 3 to 70. ________________________________ From: philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> Sent: Thu, March 11, 2010 10:40:07 AM Subject: Re: Re: Naturally low E2  How much Androgel are you on 5 or 10 grams and what were your levels.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I haven't had wood in a long time and my wife's and me are getting very frustrated. Even the little blue and yellow pills don't help. I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor on my T levels. If they're within range, I don't know what in the hell I'm going to do. ________________________________ From: philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> Sent: Thu, March 11, 2010 11:09:12 AM Subject: Re: Re: Naturally low E2  That is not to high or to low it great.
