Re: I could use some help/advice - Which Lab Test?

[Guest guest]

Other folks on this forum can advise you better than I can on this subject.

The only test I had was the Estrogen Comprehensive panel, which measures

Estrone, Estradiol and Estriol. Men would never show any Estriol, so that's a

bit of a waste.

I think knowing your estrone levels is important. Estradiol and Estrone can

convert back and forth easily. Estrone Sulfate can be stored in the body for a

long time. Because both my Estradiol and Estrone were well above normal for a

male, ( 80 when it should be less than 50 ), I knew I had to get that under

control. My high estrone levels meant there was a built in reservoir of

estrogen and even if I prevented further aromatization with Arimidex, there was

a lot of estrogen hanging around.

Some folks say to use the Sensitive Estradiol test.

ly I've never been concerned with my testosterone levels. I know I'm

getting adequate testosterone and am not worried about having too much as long

as my red blood cell count is normal and my estrogen doesn't get too high.

I get tested for red blood cells, and hematocrit every month, but the Veterans

Administration does that for free. They don't want to test my estrogen at all.

Most labs men get for Estradiol or Estrogen are women's labs men need to do a

sensitive test like the Quest test #4021 when on arimidex so they can tell how

low they go down going to low is not good worse then being to high. I have

found that doing Total E's don't tell use anything because the E's in men is not

the same as in women we make them from Testosterone women don't as per Dr.

so when you do a Total E test it is not worth anything. I do great keeping my

E2 Estradiol level in check by gaging them with my involuntary nocturnal

erections that appear during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. As long as you

have them and no meds that cause ED or a med. problem with your penis you can

keep your E2 levels in the best levels gaging your night time and morning wood.

I have hundreds of men doing this.
