I am going no-where with the Estradiol-erection relationship.

[Guest guest]

I have been on 5g Adrogel for 4 months.

I get weak erections in the morning. No solid wood.

Still using Levitra full dose.

My Doc does not test for Estradiol so I had the test done at Labcorp myself.

The number I got back is 20 pg/ml.

I don't know what to do with this number.

It looks very normal along with all my other results.

I am in the upper quartile for Testosterone.

Does anyone here know what I could try next?

Estradiol, Sensitive 20 pg/mL 3-70

Your labs look good next test Thyroid, Cortisol and Ferritin with Iron levels.

Do the following from this link.

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/

TSH But this lab is only for diagnosis of hypopituitary, NOT to diagnose or dose

your hypo by.

Total T4 and T3

Free T4 and Free T3 (note the word “freeâ€â€“important since it measures what

is unbound.)

Thyroid Antibodies (anti-TPO and TgAb. YOU NEED BOTH.)

Ferritin (and do empathize FERRITIN to go along with other iron related labwork)

Adrenal Cortisol levels (but we strongly recommend saliva tests, not the one

time blood test your doctor will do. See below, because you don’t need a

prescription)

B-12 and Folate

RBC Magnesium and Potassium

Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D lab test…

…plus others your doctor may recommend.

* Reverse T3 (to be tested when your Free T4 is in the upper part of the range

with continuing symptoms. You need to do it at the same time you do free T3 to

measure the ratio)
