Please help me interpret Estradiol tests

[Chrisgj2]

I'm trying to help someone on another board, total and free Testosterone at the low end of the ranges along with these tests taken 1 week after androgel started. Could some one give me their opinion on these tests?

Estradiol Free .10 - Ref Range .30 - .90 pg/mL (Low)
Estradiol Free 2.0 - Ref Range 1.66 - 2.11 %
Estradiol 5 - Ref. Range 10-50 pg/mL (Low)

Thanks,
Chris

Your Estradiol is very low - If you are not taking an AI - then this could be due to your testosterone levels being low. Post up the rest of your blood results and ranges, so we can get a better idea (espec free/total test)

[Chrisgj2]

Testosterone, Total 353 - Ref. Range 250-1100 ng/dL (1 week after starting Androgel again but still lower than should be)

Testosterone % Free 2.0 - Ref Range 1.0 - 3.0 %

86.7 - Ref Range 35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL

I don't know what the last one is, but you probably do I bet.

Your Test levels are still very low, looks like you may need to increase your Androgel dosage (What is your current dosage). I would focus on getting your test levels higher before worrying about your Estradiol.

What time of day did you get your blood drawn ? Had you applied Androgel that morning before the tests (at what time) ?

Are you taking any anti-estrogens or amromatise inhibitors ?

I forward your info and questions to him and update you as soon as he replies. Thanks for your help.
