How to lower estrone/e1?
Just got my most recent bloodwork back after 4 weeks of liquidex at .25mg EOD. My estradiol is perfect, sitting at 25 right now but my total estrogens is at 145. Does this mean my e1 is super high or what is it? I have gyno in my right breast and have had it since puberty so maybe that could be the reason for the high total estrogens. After 4 weeks of liquidex I feel better than I ever have in quite some time. Libido is up, erections are great, morning wood is there daily.
A week ago I switched to aromasin to make sure there isn't any estrogen rebound and to see if I can help out with the gyno I got going on now. After starting the aromasin, I don't feel as good as I did 5 days ago so I'm thinking I completely crushed my estrogens. I'm not trying to find the balance at aromasin 12.5mg E3D.
This leads me to ask this, should I taper the aromasin off over the next one, two, three or four weeks or what? I have clomid on hand as well if that would come into play here.
Why is my total estrogens so high and my e2 is in check? Can I just dismiss that number or what?
Also, after taking the 4 weeks of liquidex my test went down about a 100. I know this post is all over the place so thanks for those who have taken the time to read and reply.

WithdrawlI'm going to put in some feedback since I see you haven't had anyone chime in on this yet. You usually have to take a pretty good dose of aromasin to crash your estrogen. How much aromasin have you been taking? 6.25mg-12.5mg a day usually does the job for most people. I personally take 12.5mg a day. As for your total estrogen, I don't know how to get those down when your E2 is normal. You don't want to just increase your AI because if you get your E2 too low you start having issues. I work for a nutrition store and some of my female customers take DIMM, which improves their E2 and lowers some of their other estrogens. It might be worth a shot if you're really concerned about this.
Thanks for the feedback. Also take note I am NOT on cycle. I did 5 days of aromasin 12.5mg ed then took 2 days off because I felt worse. I took another dose 12.5mg Monday and have decided to discontinue the aromasin because my e2 was .at 25 before I took it and I felt fine. I've looked for info on e1 but can't find much besides people saying it doesn't really matter if your e2 is in check.
Yesterday I picked up some DIMplus and took two tablets but I don't want to lower my e2 at all and I'm afraid if I continue the DIM it will lower it more than I already did with the aromasin.
I have gyno in my right breast from puberty. Would this be considered adipose tissue if the lump has hardened? Could that be why my e1 is so high, estrone just floating around there?
