If I want to lower Estrogen...

[rhino5169]

If I want to start to lower estrogen without waiting another 2 weeks for consult plus another week for an AI, 3 weeks total, would I start by taking zinc and stop taking my dhea?
Other ideas?
I know nothing will work as good as the AI but just looking to get started.

Why do you want to lower your E2? Do you have high E2 symptoms? Lab results?

What is your current protocol? Give us something to work with here.

Was just a general quaestion because i've outlined all my specifics in the following threads.
Thought if I started another thread I might get flogged, lol.

If you take the time you will see my dilemma.
Basically camer to the conclusion that Steve said and it's different for everyone. I think I need to go in a direction because current state is just treading water.

T of 1089 - normal (348-1197)
Free T - 23.1 HIGH (6.8-21.5)
E of 48 HIGH (8-35)
SHBG 36 normal (16-55)
DHEA 284.9 (71-375)
Iron 37 LOW (38-169)
Ferritin 20 LOW (30-400)
DHT 76 normal high (30-85)
Prolactin 13.4 - normal

Im on Test cyp m/w/f 30x3 = 180/week
HCG m/w/f 30x3
DHEA 50mg daily
Test cream 2 clicks daily
Iron supplement
naturethyroid 1 grain daily
No morning wood, no wood anytime unless stimulated and even then 50-60%.

Your labs look pretty damn good. Your E2 isn't crazy high (I'm assuming that was a sensitive E2 test), and ratiowise, it is in the ballpark. If your symptoms are bothering you, you could try DIM and Calcium D Glucarate until you get your script for anastrozole. It works for some guys, but honestly for me, it didn't do squat.

Be very careful with your anastrozole dosage...start small, retest in a few weeks to see where you stand, and how you feel. The last thing you want to do is crash your E2. Good luck.

I agree with Jackie your numbers themselves look pretty good, nothing alarming but the E could be high, for you. If you did add Anastrozole again with Jackie, go very easy with it....125mg 1x per week and see how you feel, and get some labs with the LC/MS/MS E2 test.

Thanks guys.
Every time I think about it I have to figure out if im high or low, lol. I know something is out of whack.
Will def. go easy on the Anastrozole.

I'm in the same boat - I think. My E2 is up in the 60s now with total T in the mid 700s. Symptoms include extreme energy loss, acne is going crazy on my chest and head and I am gaining weight again.

I am supposed to get a script for an AI from my Dr soon.
