Oh right, i thought it was very low given the following from ON's report: The men with balanced estrogen levels had the fewest deaths their estrogen levels were between 21.80 and 30.11 pg/mL or (80.02 and 110.53 pmol/L).
Mine was 36 pmol/L, or more probably around 60pmol/L at the time of taking AI.
So with lower SHBG your referring to a higher percentage of free E right?
I just have 2 weeks to go before my next bloods so i should probably push through to get an accurate picture of what 2 x 12.5mg a week does to me. My plan is then to drop to your suggested 2 x 6.25mg for the month after, unless of course bloods show i've nailed it.
I have 3 blood tests booked for the next 3 months at monthly intervals, all for shgb, E, T and free Androgen index.
Can i ask you your opinion on a back up plan that's sloshing around in my head? I am thinking that should i struggle to raise E to normal levels without dropping T too much - something that has been the problem recently - then it might make sense to try a weekly or even bi weekly dose of 12.5mg clomid, while dropping the dose of AI a little more. This would logically raise E while still generating more T, without causing any toxic insult or raising E to high due to very low dose.
It has already been shown that i produce high amounts of T even with fairly low dose AI, so a tiny dose of Clomid might well combine well to give me the balance i'm after. Whilst i don't particularly want to use clomid, i want very low E (in order to maintain T) a whole lot less.
I hope to never need to try it, but having a back up plan makes me feel a whole lot better about things.
So you're UK based then? Which part, or town?
