Hi guys...so I just got some blood work done and i'm very concerned about the low LH & FSH and of course the high E2. I will give as much info as I currently have. Someone suggested I may have a thyroid problem and that I may have iodine deficiency so I've been supplementing Iodine 25-50mg per day for about 5 days now along with about 400mcg selenium that I get in my Multi Vitamin. My waking temp is ~96.9 and my daytime temp never goes above ~98.1. They also suggested to take .25mg Anastrozole E3D which I have been doing for about 10 days now, but someone else suggested I cut that dose down to a daily dose so approximately .1mg per day. Is 30 days long enough to retest and see how T, LH, FSH, thyroid and E2 are doing? Thanks guys. My first thought was maybe TRT but now im thinking maybe I just need to control my E2?

-describe body and facial hair -
Not too much on my chest. Cant exactly grow a full beard but it's not too bad, still kinda thick. Head hair has always been good and thick.
-describe where you carry fat-
Lower abdomen and love handles. Some on chest but probably gyno.
-health conditions, symptoms [history] -
I had a good amount of gyno removed Sept 2013. Got E2 checked after surgery and it was at 30.9 (ND-39). I had gyno since puberty and I believe taking Tren when I was 21 made it worse.
-Rx and OTC drugs, any hair loss drugs or prostate drugs ever-
Smoked weed daily for 10 years, stopped 6 months ago. Ran Tren prohormone when I was 21 like a dummy. Ran it for 6 weeks and used Tamoxifen + Natural test booster for PCT (young and dumb). I had nipple discharge while on Tren also..

-describe diet-
4 weeks ago I started to "cut" and changed to a Keto diet. My Daily Calorie needs are ~2900-3000 calories and I am consuming 2500 calories with 30 min low intensity cardio approximate 3-4 times a week. Carbs are 20g or less, Protein is 170g daily, and Fat is around 200g daily, whatever adds up to 2500 depending on carbs consumed. Usually split into 5 meals and rarely into 4 meals. All calories come from Food and no supplements are being taken except for a little fiber and multivitamin. Water is at 1gal daily.
Before this keto diet I basically "bulked" for about 4 months and ate 3500-3700 calories daily at about 25% pro / 20% fat / 55% carbs. Lots of Chicken, brown rice, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, gold potatoes, egg whites, mct oil, nuts and avocado.
-describe training-
If you're familiar with it, during bulk I did Arnolds Blueprint to Mass with a few slight variations at times if I got bored. I dont do 6 days straight then rest on the 7th like the blueprint says. I just go in order whenever I get a chance to workout. Usually 4 days per week.

I have some left over from like a year ago. So 1000mcg subs in the belly area is fine? And how much magnesium daily? I have zma and there's some in my multi but I can buy mag caps if needed. On top of this I'm also taking ~5000 d3 and 300mg coq10 (1 gel cap), Costco brand.
