I have read that a normal Estradiol range for men is between 20 pg/ml and 40 pg/ml, however my numbers look a little different and I'm not sure how to compare.
My results were
Estradiol 4,2 pg/ml - "normal range" of 0,4 - 2,5 (above normal)
Progesterone 52,0 - "normal range" of 45 - 650 pg/ml
Progesterone/Estradiol Ratio 10,6
Results were Estradiol dominance
How do I equate/convert the Estradiol number into the range that everyone talks about.
WeRDead, that's a lot of info, fairly technical, I don't have the Pharmaceutical knowledge offhand to know whether all of this is accurate, but I don't think he'd wanna use Estradiol - that's a female hormone w/ side effects of decreased Testosterone, decreased libido, possible ED, possible breast development in men, and a too-high level of Estradiol can also cause prostate enlargement & other issues, so I'm not sure why you'd be advocating that for ANY man, and e
Start of my third week suppression, i was given a shot of gonal f for 225 ui for 5 days, after my lab test, estradiol is low and follicles are not present. dosage was increase to 375 ui for 3 days and still, estradiol is low and no follicles seen. doctor advised to cancel the ivf due to abandon cycle and try next cycle again with an increase dosge of 450ui.
Why is it that my body is not responding to gonal f even though the dosage has been increased? Is there a problem?
i'm 41 and my husband is 48. my fsh level is 12.4 and estradiol is 22. husband's sperm test came back great, he is a fertile mertile.
I have premature ovarian failure and took estradiol for months and it has made me crazy depressed, along with many other symptoms, it has ruined my life. You are not alone! It changed my brain chemisty, now doctors and family think I am crazy, when before I was the calmest, rock of a person you could find. I say again, you are not alone, hang in there and search for answers!
Hm, very good question and I can see why you question that. https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-5186/estradiol-oral/details. Femoston is the brand name of estradiol. And I don't see it used in that way. For heavy periods, it's not uncommon for girls to be put on birth control. But this one? Weird choice it appears. Some birth control pills use estrogen to decrease period issues and prevent pregnancy. But Femoston seems to be used more for peri menopausal and post menopausal women.

15 years with no sex? You're a patient man. Most men would have divorced by now.
How long after a confirmed pregnancy are you suppose to continue taking Estradiol? Just read on the internet that it can cause birth defects and I can't reach my doctor to confirm this.
I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.
After a 9cm Benign Tumor was discovered, I had an Oopharectomy. 1 year later I had a vaginal-laprascopical assisted complete hysterectomy. At that time I think the surgeon took my labido, and did a partial lobotomy
and I'd like these back :(
It's been 3 years and I don't even feel like the same woman. I do take 1 mg Estradiol each day, otherwise I'd be Phsyco woman, but I'd actually like to 'feel' something...anything!
Clearly defined cutoff values for normal are not well established. We like to see the day 3 estradiol less than about 80. We repeat borderline or abnormal results in another menstrual cycle to try to get a "true" FSH.
There is some evidence that an elevated day 3 estradiol indicates a problem with ovarian reserve.
It is hard to predict. The higher levels of estrogen may promote the midcycle LH surge, which is what urine OPKs look for. If this happens, the surge might come a couple of days earlier. This is called positive feedback. On the other hand, the higher estrogen levels my inhibit LH (this is called negative feedback) delaying the surge. You will need to test for ovulation to find out.
Dear Hopeful,
I can't respond specifically to your concerns about the Estring but hope somebody will.
I take two high blood pressure meds that are metabolized through the liver but the benefit outweighs the risk. My hepatologist thinks it's a non-issue. That doesn't mean he has the last word but we made a practical decision . It's not because I'm not his wife that he's 'nonchalant' but that he had to juggle my competing health needs and prioritize them.
I want enough estradiol in me to make sure I can string a sentence together, avoid depression, have a sex drive, have better word retrival, have strong bones, less moodiness, have good heart function, no cramping in legs (the worst when I am low in my estradiol)... no foot problems (yes... when estradiol was too low for a few years...bad doc's advice... yuk,... I ended up having to have surgery on both feet).. no joint pain... I could go on and on and on.
m in my late 30s - the first month I was tested, my estradiol was 374 and my FSH 5.2. The next month my estradiol dropped to 87 and my FSH increased to 10.1.
I'm at a loss of whether I should keep trying or just say that a baby isn't in my cards. Anyone else heard of estradiol dropping hundreds of points in a single month?
