Please help! I just got my blood test results and after 9 months on HRT, my estradiol levels went DOWN (from 139-50!) and T went up to normal range. I'm so freaked out. I can't get a hold of my doctor. Anyone have this happen!?

Hi,
Yes it also just happened to me... I just came from seeing my endo today and she reviewed everything and could not understand it as my T went from 203 to 500 and she had not tested for estradiol this time.
All she could come up with is to give me new scripts and asked me to have them filled at another location as she thinks that something is wrong with it the refills i have from about a month ago. Sometimes quality control in some labs is not the greatest or they could be fake pills. One of the Networks had a show on this a few years ago.
Good luck!

PM if you need additional info
