How fast will DHEA raise my low E2 levels?

[Guest guest]

As mentioned on here, I had the sensitive E2 test done a couple of weeks ago and

my Estradiol was listed as 5 pg/ml on a scale of 3 to 70 pg/ml.   I have had

erection problems for 2 years now which I believe was due to 2 weeks of steroid

use.  I am now 25 years old and testosterone is normal.  My E2 being this low

makes sense as I have taken Cialis, Viagra, etc and it did absolutely nothing in

the past!  

 

My question is:  how fast does DHEA work to increase estradiol levels?  I have

been taking 50 mg in the morning and at dinner time for a week and a half.  I

would say on days 5 to 7 is when I noticed pretty dang good morning erections

but I was taking Cialis and LEVITRA as well.  I am now out of LEVITRA and have

noticed my morning wood doesn't stay as long and is much weaker.  What is going

on here?  Did DHEA shoot my estradiol too high?  Or did I have such good

erections because of Levitra?  I stopped the DHEA for a day now and same results

(erections but still weak).

 

It's hard to do Phil's test with night time and morning wood because if I make

my estradiol too high and don't get morning wood, do I reverse it and take DIM? 

How fast would estradiol go from 5 to 20 with DHEA?

 

Please help, has anyone else had this problem before?

I just don't know I never had to take DHEA to bring up my E2 levels but on DHEA

supplements just 25 mgs / day I drove up my E2 levels to high. But I fixed a

hormone problem I had and my DHEA levels went up near the top of the range.

Still my Dr. told me you can never be to high on DHEA at my age my labs are age

adjusted.

When you did this on ED drugs it's hard to tell how things are working. I would

say you got the wood with the help of the ED drugs sooner. I would think your

E2 is still low. When I am low I can't get it up at all it's dead. But as my

levels come back I hit the sweet spot and wake up with very strong wood. As my

levels keep going up I still have this wood but it's not as strong and when I

start to get higher on E2 I can get it up but it's not hard bends in half.

Going to high I have sore and hard nipples feel hot and sweat easy. Then no

wood.
