At what point is E too high?
My endocrinologist is switching me from 5mg cypionate every 7 days to 10mg cypionate every 7 days. My last levels were E at 239 pg/mL and T at 6.2 ng/dL at nadir. I don't have updated shbg labs at the moment but last time I had labs for shbg it was 116 nmol/L. The 10mg regimen would potentially put my E at around the 500 pg/mL range nadir and close to 700 at crest.
Post orchiectomy and at 2.5 years of HRT with little to no actual response to treatment. My endo's current theory is that because I'm a redhead, I need a higher amount of E than most people.
Also currently awaiting talking to a genetic counselor about my DNA test results but that is taking a while and while there is stuff that looks concerning to me, I have no clue if it is clinically significant or not. My biggest concern at the moment is if I go too high, I'll still have no results from hrt plus any potential negatives from having my E be too high.
