Guest guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Philip, I took your advice and bought the DIM to reduce estradiols. My T is at 414, I don't know my free T as the dr didn't test for it. My estradiol is at the top 2/3 of the range. If I reduce the estradiol without any additional T what changes will occur? My MD says my labs are fine (don't you love that?!?) and I have asked to switch from 10 mg Androgel to weekly shots, but he hasn't got back to me. I found a Nurse Practitioner in our town that is reported to be really good with hormone therapy (male and female) . My sister in law uses her and loves her! However, I won't have an appt until 1/20/11. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 When you say your Estradiol level are up into the upper 2/3 of the range your high but it helps to know the level and the range. Still if you get this down your SHBG levels will come down with this and free up your bound Testosterone so your Free T levels will go higher. Your on TRT but with high levels of Estraidol you end up with higher levels of SHBG and this binds up your Testosterone so it's not working even if you have good high levels. Also lowering the Estraidol levels will give you back your sex life and your night time and morning wood high Estradiol levels in men will kill your sex life and give you some ED or poor wood.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Here is a copy of my reply back to you a cut and paste. To add to this getting your Estradiol levels down in the DIM you got will make you feel much better and give you back your sex life. Also if your having any brain fog this will fix it. I get Anxiety and Panic Attacks from high levels of Estraidol this will get better and you will sleep better. ==================================================== When you say your Estradiol level are up into the upper 2/3 of the range your high but it helps to know the level and the range.
