Strange E2 problem - MESO-Rx

Few weeks ago my E2 was 69 and still had decent morning wood and little spike in libido. Started Adex and got it down to 32, but libido spike and morning erection are much worse. In the past an E2 of 32 down to 20 was the best for me, but for some reason it seems that it no longer is that way.

Would there be any reason why that would change?

You should check estogen metabolites as these can give sign of excessive e2 when there are normal levels of e2 issues. Thyroid can also have a huge impact as well since your levels are ground zero which will be resolved with the EFRA thyroid which has been getting good feedback. This will be ordered to day when i get into office. We are moving all our patients to this brand because of ability to be taken sublingually with good results. Having low thyroid will cause i higher ratio of bad estrogen/ good estrogens. Getting thyroid straight should help offset alot of your issues.

Are you sure you have been getting the same type E2 blood test? The range on an ultra sensative is optimal between 20-29 (I think), but if you doc did not specify the same test, there is another one with a higher set of values than may give that result. I am not sure where you would fall on that test at that number. There are many here that state that any E2 test other than the first one I mentioned is "worthless". I believe the guy posting prior to me is familiar and could elaborate if I am even close to the potential mark...

The e2 he had done is not worthless there was a lab error on it. It was re ran and adjustments were corrected. His thyroid is trashed and the compounded thyroid is not working because of the problem with binders. Moving to new thyroid similar to armour should be helping . With low thyroid his 2/16 are probably out of wack as well. Once he gets the thyroid straight then your other estrogen metabolites will go back into check. You were undermethylator due to hidden hypothyroidism.
