Newbie 8 weeks bloods high oestradiol

[davies84uk]

Hi all,

So I im currently 8 weeks in to 16 week cycle of test enamthate.

Just hit 40 years of age and been thinking about it the last few years. Last 6 months libido had dropped and I was feeling pretty sh#t so i did my bloods around 3 months ago and my test was through the floor so ultimately that's what gave me the final nudge to start.

I've done a tone of research over the years and not just decide to jump on this with little knowledge.

I started at 2 weeks at 300mg per week 2 injections. The second 2 weeks i went up to 360mg. Since week 4 I've been on 420mg per week. Injecting once on a Monday and once on a Thursday.


Anyway I've just done my bloods 8 weeks in to see how all my levels are looking.

Unfortunately a few of them failed so I have to redo another sample to get my testosterone results. However I did get my levels for my oestradiol, and prolactin, which I'm worried is a little high.

It terms of how I'm feeling I'm feeling pretty good. Haven't had what would be typical symptoms of high oestrogen levels. I have felt a little tired the last few weeks. However, I've had a feel family event and drunk quite a bit of alcohol and not eaten great so I've put it down to that. Other than this I feel ok.

Do you guys feel I need to jump on AI. If so what would you recommend at what dose?

Also noticed my prolactin is quite high. Is there any supplement I can take to bring this down?

I know ideally you need my full results to compare my oestradiol to test. I will update this thread as soon as I get them. In the meantime any help or advice would be great. Thanks

Leave estradiol as it is, it is a good value in the treatment. I had estradiol at 509 nmol/l and I felt very well. Lower your prolactin a bit. Try cabergoline 1mg once every 2 weeks. It is a very strong prolactin inhibitor, so be careful, maybe 0.5 mg will be enough

Hi mate, thanks for the advice much appreciated.

How are you getting on now?

At 420mg per week it’s no wonder your e2 is there.

Your prolactin is probably high because of the high e2.

My advice would be to assess how you feel, and then take an AI to bring your e2 down a bit. Probably 12.5mg exemestane or 0.5mg anastrozole every other day. See where your e2 is. Try to get it in range. If at any point you get any low e2 symptoms, lower the AI dose
