My E2 tested at less than 37 pmol/L lol... At that time I was only on 10mg Test C weekly (which I now brought down to 5mg weekly). I don't quite actually know what is crushing my E2, I've never seen this on female bloodwork.

I have seen this unfortunately... even without roids. This looks like my wife in her early 30s going through per-menopause... Turns out this a lot more common that people think especially with athletes. She is a runner. But dont panic, there are other possible reasons. Some birth control can do this too.

Any idea when in your cycle this was? You gals have wild fluctuations and although that is low, it would be considered within range during follicular and menstruation. Any idea what was your baseline was prior?

I was taking a hormonal birth control at the time I took this bloodwork. I have since then stopped the birth control. My period is very irregular so it's very hard to say what phase I was in lol. I will let my body purge the hormonal birth control and get some new bloodwork eventually to compare.

A woman will see estrogen decline up to ten years prior to actual cessation of menses. And if you're perpetually lean, your body has no fat to use to sequester estrogen - most women get a tire around their midsection as the body attempts to store estrogen in fatty tissue as the ovaries lose function.

That's not an ideal estradiol level, that's for sure :/ levels fluctuate all the time but on average I prefer mine above 100

Definitely want it go higher. I will look into this. Thanks for your input
