Estradiol Too Low? Labs Here

[NorCalTRT]

I went in for labwork because I have been experiencing a "pins and needle" sensation followed by flushing and getting very very itchy, first felt in my feet or hands and then spreading throughout my body. Is this symptomatic of something? Labs look good, except for Estradiol which is 6.7. Test. is 1016

My protocol since 1-1-2014 has been: Test Cyp 200 ml 1xper week (Wed)
HCG 500 iu 2xper week (Mon and Fri)
Anastrozole .5 mg 2x per week (Mon and Fri)

I don't think at only 200mgs/wk of test that you need to be taking an AI at all which is most likely why your E2 is low. i would stop taking the anastrozole if I were you until your E2 comes back up to a normal range. even then you probably still won't need to take it, maybe periodically on an as needed basis but if you start taking it regularly again you run the risk of pushing your E2 down too low again. unless you plan on upping your weekly test dose. just my opinion, others might have some different suggestions.

sounds like good advice. After reviewing prior labs, my E2 has been declining since Feb...29.6, 26.8, 11.1, and now 6.7. Too bad I Took one capsule today, but that will be the last for a bit.

Now, the question is, should I continue with one Test. injection per week or break it into two.

personally i would split it up into two injections to keep more stable blood levels. so if you're doing 200mg on Wed, from now on you can do 100mg Wed and 100mg on Sun, or if you wanna make it exact, you can do Wed morning and Sat night, or any other similar combination of days.
