question from a user

I’m taking 500iu 2x week, so far I’ve not really felt anything but I’ve probably read too much about it and have some anxiety about side effects or the anticipation of side effects of too much estrogen. What are the first things I may notice if it pushes estrogen up too high?

AlphaMD's Answer

The symptoms of high estrogen can include:

Sensitive nipples Edema (bloating or retaining extra fluid) Being overly emotional (crying at times you normally wouldn’t, being aggressive or angry) Acne Loss of libido Less firm erections

Not everyone experiences all of these symptoms when their estrogen is high, but will typically experience a few. Some men are more sensitive to elevations in estrogen than others, and can tolerate only small elevations above their normal baseline. Others can tolerate higher levels of estrogen with little issue.

It is important to check your labs regularly until you have “dialed in” your treatment regimen.
