Hello I just had some lab-work done a few days ago and the results came back today...Everything is looking good Total Testosterone is almost non-existent,  at 20ng/dL, so looking good there.  But...my concern is my Total Estrogen level is high I give my self the IM injection of my prescribed dosage every Wednesday and this lab was done this past Monday the results were 752pg/mL, that just seems odd.  I know that is a combination of e1+e2 but that many days after my last injection just seems off.  Has anyone ever had that something like that?

I am on a half oral dosage and my total estrogen on my last test was 740 pg/ml. Yes, it's a bit high but women can hit 600 so it's not really that far out of range. In addition, I suspect that your estradiol levels are higher giving you more balanced numbers. If the doctor isn't worried about it, you shouldn't be worried about it.

On injections, I get levels of 1,000-4000 pg/ml of estradiol alone, 3-5 days after I inject, my total estrogen values would probably around 1,500-6,000 pg/ml. My doctors aren't concerned. There are studies that suggest high levels are relatively safe, even in older individuals, whether they be women or men or even if struck with advanced cancer.

Women's estradiol levels during a menstrual cycle can range from as little as 20 pg/ml to as much as 762 pg/ml. During pregnancy, levels skyrocket to 75,000. This is just estradiol, total estrogen is higher.

I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
