Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Until I get my blood tests, I can't say absolutely that my E2 is up. I believe it is though. If this is the case, the only thing that changed with me was to be switched from compounded T to injecting T cypionate.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 You need to tell us what it was and the range of your test also it's good to say what your on like TRT and SHBG has a lot to do with were you E2 levels need to be if your SHBG is low mine is 20 so I need to keep my E2 about about 15 pg/ml most do better at 20 some are good at up to 30.
