I’ve been on 60mg of oxycodone for about 4 months. I think I’m almost over the hump. It hard to tell if how I feel is related to withdrawal, or estrogen being out of range.

I am weaning off pain meds from a back injury. As expected, I feel like garbage.

Thank you, for the graph. I sincerely appreciate it. My only problem - it’s a mystery. I wish I understood it, ha. I finally received my latest results. Can someone spoon feed me? I have some other health issues going on, so its hard for me to tell where I’m at with things. I don’t know how much...

What would be considered a reasonable range using Ultrasensitive with Quest? I had bloodwork done today. I’ll post results as soon as they are available.

Thank you for responding. I am taking .25 eod. At the time of draw I was in the process of lowering my testosterone, so I am guessing I went low. I didn’t thin’ I went that low though.

See attached. I recentlay had bloodwork done, and my Ultrasensitive Estradiol came back at a 4. Typically, I would say this is low, however, they showed a range of <29. Accroding to them this was in the “Green” zone, and I am good to go. I am not buying it. What are your thoughts? I wasn’t...

Please see attached images. I just received my results this morning. I used discounted labs, Quest, Ultrasensitive, and I had a level of 4. The range they show is <29. My test results came back at 833/112.5 I find this odd. They are essentially saying “low” doesn’t exist. Thoughts?

Question - has anyone found there to be a correlation between the amount of fluid released during ejaculation, and estrogen levels?

Thank you for the inspiration. It’s been an exceptionally painful process. I think I may be in the middle of a breakthrough - last night I woke up in the middle of the night with wood so hard a cat couldn’t scratch it. How long did it take for you to settle out? What was your T dose/Arimidex...

Thank you for responding. I have an extremely active libido. That doesn’t fit the symptoms of an imbalance. Can you ma me anything out of that?

I was all over the board. I was never able to sit still long enough to stabilize. The last 7 days I was taking Arimidex: 5 days .1 everyday, and the last 2 of the 7 was .2 daily. That crashed me, and I stopped. Fast forward 2 weeks, and here I am.

Does anyone have experience with estrogen rebound after stopping Arimidex? I looked at my calendar, and it has been exactly 2 weeks since my last dose. This is evening is probably the worst I have felt. I thought I had experienced depression, but clearly not - this is the real deal. Any thoughts...

Thank you for responding. I appreciate the fact that you can relate. Since it’s been 2 weeks since stopping my AI, and it’s likely just now clearing my system, do you think I am suffering from e2 rebound? Would you advise riding it out? I have compounded .1 Arimidex, so I have the option of...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. My total T was about 1400 peak, free T 3.17 on a .87- 5.47 scale, and SHBG is 42 on a 20-60 scale. I starting splitting my dose 3-4 months ago, and it didn’t seem to do much. I am wondering if I am experiencing estrogen rebound. It’s been about 2 weeks...

I have posted a few times about my challenges with e2 management. Well, I gave up trying to dial in with Arimidex, and decided to reduce my dose. My first reduction was from 140 to around 120. It wasn’t fun, but I managed. After 6 weeks my e2 was still running hot, so I went down to about 100 a...

Thank you for asking. I noticed a difference, but I’m still all over the board. I took 60mg on 4/28, and started the new protocol (.25ml x 3 on 4/1, so it’s really only been 10 days. On 4/8 I felt like I was high and took .1 Arimidex. The next day I felt pretty crappy, but it had subsided by the...

As evidenced by my posts over the past several months - I simply can’t get my e2 dialed in. I’ve tried nearly everything; split dose, sub q, compounded Anastrozole, etc. I’m currently at 140mg Cypionate split between 2 doses, and this puts me in the 1200-1500 total / 3.4 - 3.0 free range. My...

It’s not Empower’s, but it’s brand name Anastrozole compounded into .1mg gel capsules.

I’ve not tried anything of those medications. What would recommend as a protocol, given the information provided?

Even if I already went too high?

Thank you, for the insight. What do you make of me going high after 15 days? What do you think my next adjustment should be?

No labs - I’ve gotten pretty good at identifying high/low e2.

I have been struggling with estrogen problems for over a year. I just can’t seem to get dialed in. I was at .1 anastrozole every 3 days, and after 19 days I went high, so I adjusted to .1 every other day. That brought me down to normal after a few days, then a little low, and now high after 15...

FWIW - if you’re dialed in on your current protocol, I’d stick with that. I just went through this, and went back to IM. I’m still recovering. Everyone is different, so maybe you’ll have a better experience.

I wish I could help, but I would only be speculating. I’m sure there are others on here with solid information. I think the absorption rate is much slower due to less blood in fat tissue, so it takes longer to become useful. Personally, I gave it myself several weeks to adjust, and it only got...

It’s a strange situation. Is there any other plausible reason, for the low numbers, and lethargic feeling?

Is it possible that ALL of it doesn’t make it into the bloodstream?

I went sub q for 6 weeks, and progressively felt worse, so I went back and took a single IM, felt better, then went back to sub q for the last 3 weeks, and I have progressively started feeling worse. It got so bad that I thought I was having thyroid problems, but I’m not.

I’ve tested 3 times, same test, same time.

I am injecting cypionate subcutaneously x2 weekly, and can’t seem to get my test (free & total) anywhere near my IM injection #’s. They are consistently 25-30% lower. Has anyone heard of, or experienced poor absorption going subcutaneous? Does it take longer to stabilize? How to Inject...

I just received some of my labs back. Anyone care to hazard a guess? They are in range, but......from what I read, the ranges are fluid.
