Is prolactin actually the best proxy for estrogen?Quite hard for me to figure this out.
About 2 years ago I did an oral only steroid cycle. Bad bad decision. And at the end of it I had in the gutter testosterone “58”. Yes really 58.
And my total estrogen was 3x the range. These labs were taken the day after the cycle.
12 days later I got labs again and testosterone came up to like 200(lol) but now estrogen was also bottomed out and tanked low. in only 12 days..? Could my body really have cleared it that quick? Or is stuck at a cellular tissue level, and prolactin is better representing that ?
Or is it the fact that the steroid isn’t a bioidentical estrogen so it’s no longer being represented in e2 ES1 ? And it’s just floating around causing thyroid issues/liver issues ?
Idk how to remedy this? I have low test and
Low progesterone. Which makes me think estrogen is wreaking havoc.
But on paper they are just all low. Test, estrogen, progesterone. So I’m not sure if just all my androgens and hormones are tanked, or estrogen is high suppressing the others.
I might look into a cellular urine or saliva Dutch test.
