Test E cycle, low E2 levels

[Dr JIM]

I see much of what I requested has already been posted in narrative form YET wo the units or lab reference ranges, all of which are important, but especially your PRECYCLE TT / E-2 ratio!

Did you use the SAME LAB for pre and mid-cycle blood work?

Bc your E-2 is inconsistent with your TT level i'd suggest you obtain a PEAK levels at roughly 30 hours after your next pin.

In addition bc E-2 values can vary considerably from day to day esp during a cycle NOTHING should be done wo repeating the assay.

Moreover since your only hypoestrogenemic symptom that is reasonably consistent with a low E-2 level is joint aches, and that's the norm for most folk who start a new lifting regimine, attempts to "increase your E-2"
are ill advised at this juncture IMO

Just got my blood work back mid cycle and my E2 levels had dropped quite a bit.

Here some info about me and then cycle:
Age:28
Weight:208

Cycle:
250mgs test e x 2x per week (Monday, Friday)

Currently on week 5 and have some slight sides including: testicular atrophy, loss of libido, itchy scalp, and sore joints. Started running clomid @25mgs eod to help with the testes and began that about 2 days ago.

My e2 numbers were 18 which is lower than the optimal range of 20-30. I feel like that may have contributed to some of the sides. Looking for how to boost those E2 levels back up and get the libido back to where it should be.

Anyone have experience with this prior?

Thanks

That's weird; with T increase E2 should increase as well due to aromatización; are you taking any AI???
