I dont know....I didnt get bloodwork during it as my joints started hurting so i went back up to reg dosage.
My doc is pretty darn liberal...he is of the thought process of "if your bloodwork and BP are fine....you can be here".... I like the higher range of total test...thats where i like to be.....I get lazy sometimes and skip shots over a few weeks and have gone in and it was 450 or 550 and he was like "what are you doing? why is it down there?"....i try to stay in the 700 to 1100 range if i can and usually im 650 to 950
Dante ... or actually everybody ....
I'm looking at Direct Labs options. I see the Total and Free Test, SHBG, and IGF-1, but ....
Which estrogen test do I want? I see an E2, but I thought I had read you guys do and "E2 sensitive"
This is what I'm looking at but it doesn't say sensitive, does that matter?
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Estradiol (E2) Hormone
Fasting Required: No
Specimen: Blood
Results: 3-5 Business Days
Description: Estradiol, also known as E2, is the most active of the estrogens. For women, it is important to look at the relationship between estradiol and progesterone in evaluating menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood disorders, and aging skin.
In men, high levels of estradiol are associated with abdominal fat, enlargement of the prostate and cardiovascular risk.
In both men and women, low levels of estradiol are associated with osteoporosis.
This test measures the bound, non-circulating, levels of estradiol.
Methodology: Immunoassay (IA)
