Are my Estradiol levels good??

[Flynman]

Had my blood work done and my Estradiol reads <15pg/ml range < or =39 Not sure if thats good or bad??

Looks low regardless of whether you had the Regular or Sensitive Assay performed. Most guys likes their E2 on the Sensitive Assay to be between 20-40pg/ml. The Regular Assay is usually overstated by 10-20 points so make sure you adjust for that.

That is more Adex than most guys run on a cycle like that. And your estradiol result proves it is too much. I would drop it to .25mg EOD. Retest blood work in two or three weeks.

Ok I will cut the arimidex...had a feeling that was the case. My Doc. had originally prescribed the arimidex at 1mg 3x week... I will cut it to .25mgs and let you know.

My doc put me on .50mg daily for TRT. They have no idea what they are doing unfortunately.

So did your doc also prescribe the 500mg of test and the deca?
