To answer these questions, we can go back to a 2000 Clinical Endocrinology study where they summarized a variety of hormone levels by age, including estradiol:
- 20-29: 102.9 pmol/l
- 30-39: 94.17 pmol/l
- 40-49: 90.76 pmol/l
- 50-59: 81.02 pmol/l
- 60-69: 78.82 pmol/l
The above are in international units and not the standard pg/ml, so let me do that conversion for everyone reading this in the U.S. (The appropriate conversion factor is 3.671.)
- 70-80: 80.37 pmol/l
- 20-29: 28.0 pg/ml
- 30-39: 25.7 pg/ml
- 40-49: 24.7 pg/ml
- 50-59: 22.1 pg/ml
- 60-69: 21.5 pg/ml
Many of us would guess that estradiol levels would rise as we put on weight with aging, right? However, the data above shows that that is decidedly not the case and estradiol levels to tend to fall as the decades roll by. This is part of the reason that so many men end up with osteoporosis. And making the matter worse is that our SHBG levels climb, leaving us with less free estradiol as we age as well. (SHBG binds to estradiol as well as testosterone.)
- 70-80: 21.9 pg/ml
Most importantly, notice that youthful estradiol levels are 28 pg/ml for men in the 20's and about 26 pg/ml for men in their 30's according to this study. This is a powerful argument that youthful estradiol levels fall right in the 20-30 range recommended by my old clinic.
Hmmmmm, everything looks good. Time to see a doctor homie. Could possibly be psychological. Your test dropping is pretty normal. Hormones vary wildly day to day depending on a billion things.
Your estro is a tiny bit low but nothing awful. Are you taking creatine btw?
Good. Thats the best thing to do.
Print out those bloods and keep em safe btw. They're a great baseline for any future work. You're quite young to be delving into the world of PEDs so hold off for as long as you can.
Good luck brother.
Um, you only mention this now?! Bro.... lol.I agree it could be psychological as well the only thing telling me otherwise is the lack of morning wood and not being able to get it up to masterbate and abnormally small testes. Like the size of peanuts. Do you think some clomid and nolva would help ?

See a specialist please.

Doc, what in the world would cause normal test levels but physically small testicles as if they're suppressed somehow?
Liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, physical trauma, certain medications, etc.
