Lab results here: Estradiol too low?

[NorCalTRT]

I went in for labwork because I have been experiencing a "pins and needle" sensation followed by flushing and getting very very itchy, first felt in my feet or hands and then spreading throughout my body. Is this symptomatic of something? Labs look good, except for Estradiol which is 6.7. Test. is 1016

My protocol since 1-1-2014 has been: Test Cyp 200 ml 1xper week (Wed)
HCG 500 iu 2xper week (Mon and Fri)
Anastrozole .5 mg 2x per week (Mon and Fri)

I don't know if those symptoms are related to your E2, but I'd say there is definitely a strong chance.

Your E2 is far too low. You definitely need to have a sensitive E2 test to see where they really are. It could be waaaay lower than 6.7 on the sensitive test.

Too low. Back off the adex

With only 200mg a week, you shouldn't need much of an AI. If you dose it 100mg every 3.5 days, (Saturday morning and Tuesday night for example) week you probably won't need any AI. Your body will have a more stale blood level and not have these peaks that can aromatize. Just a thought.

Drop the adex to. 25mg twice a week.

Are your labs peak or trough results?

Blood draw was before weekly T injection.

Prior tests show E has been declining while on this doseage. I started in January.
Feb: 29.6
April: 26.8
Sept:11.1
Oct: 6.7

If I stop taking the AI how long until E2 bounces up to whatever would be the new norm? At that point I will get somemore bloodwork to check levels.

Give it a couple of weeks.

I notice you take your adex on days of HCG shots which is a good move..
maybe try 0.125 mg on those days for a while....
this will keep your estradiol from rebounding like crazy then switch to a maintenance dose of 0.25 mg....
then retest....
