Hi All, hope everyone is well?
I have a bit of a problem...My tT, fT is very low (on or below range) and my E2 is high (around the middle of the range). I present with classic hypogonadal symptoms as well. I am 42 with a "highish" bf % but muscular
My labs (below) show the above. I was thinking of making use of aromasin, clomid & nolvadex concomitantly in order to suppress E2 and increase T levels / restart HPTA. Looking at my labs, it would seem that I have excessive aromatase activity, hence my reason for including aromasin in my protocol. But, E2 levels are actually in range, so I am unsure...the serms would increase T, but with the excessive aromatase activity I might go over range ito E2
If you would be so kind, please take a look at the two lab results below, my suggested balancing protocol and comment...(thyroid results to follow soon)
Thanks
