4 months ago I had a shot of Lupron ( 4 month) with a PSA of .29. Just got the LEF blood test reading.....Testosterone 107...Estradiol 58 pg/ml = High and Estradiol Sensitive <2.5 = Low...PSA <0.1....I also take Avodart and Arimidex .5 mg x3 per week...looks like I better drop the Arimidex to .5mg x1.....I am thinking Test 107 and PSA <0.1 is probably good....any of you experts have an opinion ? Amazing how Estradiol test and Estradiol Sensitive test can be so far apart. I wonder if I should cut back on the raw Alligator Liver recd by Dr. Nalakrats

Certainly a T level of 107 in this countries labs is too high, I would have it rechecked ,maybe too much gator blood, Congratulations on the psa, You got this Gus.
It was a 4 month Lupron shot administered 4 months ago. Maybe my T started to recover at 3 months and the Test of 107 reflects a rise from a previous castrate level. Now that T is recovering would .5mg Arimidex x1 per week allow E2 to recover. Also, I am not to confident in Labcorp. About 9 months ago they came back with T at 1100...my Onco hit the roof...thought I was taking TRT...a retest was done at came back at 350
Gus the 4 month shot is actually a 16 week shot which can be 3.5 months depending on the months, Sounds like you have good advice from Nal and Patrick.
When they say a Lupron shot is for a certain length of time, it can actually vary greatly depending on weight, metabolism, etc. A 4 month/16 week injection lasts for 6 months, for me.
If you are going to get another 16 week shot, I would cut out the Arimidex.
When on a Lupron vacation, T tends to recover slowly. I am wary of estrogen dominance during the recovery period. That's why I think TRT can be beneficial. With high T, E2 is less of a worry.
Arimidex is useful when E2 is elevated, but I don't trust that 58 pg/mL reading. You need a reliable number so that you can arrive at a safe Arimidex dose. You don't want to accidentally drift into osteopenia (or worse).
Here in Asheville, the LabCorp numbers I have been seeing these past 13 years have always made sense. Part of the LEF service is that you can always speak to a doctor. You need clarification of those results.
I am not going to get another Lupron shot. I want to do a test of the supplements.
I am taking Gator Blood, Apple Peel Extract, Resveratrol, Pterostilbene, Curcumin, Thunder God Root, Vitamin D3, Metformin, Avodart, Cabergoline, and Arimidex. Nothing in this protocol lowers T so my T level should keep increasing. Right now T is 107 and PSA is <.01 I will retest in 3 months and if PSA is still <.01 good chance the supplements are working.
Dr. Friedman believes E2 is the cause and the real driver in PCa. Studies have shown than men with a low T to E2 ratio develop more aggressive PCa. So maybe my T of 107 and E2 of <2.5 is the reason my PSA is <.01. I take Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 which might stop bone loss from low E2.

Behind door number 0.1?
Undetectable!!
Why 0.1 or 0.2? 
Ultrasensitive PSA tests in US, how low to they go?
