Cerotto Estradiol e terapia ormonale sostitutiva in vacanza

Ciao a tutti, vi seguo da molto tempo ma questo è il mio primo post.

Ho terminato la terapia di 2 anni con ADT ad agosto e mentre aspetto che il testosterone si riprenda mi chiedevo se qualcuno ha continuato dopo ADT a prendere cerotti di estradiolo (25 mcg 2 volte a settimana) per le ossa fino al recupero del testosterone. Ho paura che gli estrogeni, anche a basse dosi, possano bloccare o rallentare il recupero.

here with google translate is what our brother from Italy posted in English:

Hi everyone, I've been following you for a long time but this is my first post.

I finished 2 years of ADT in August and while I wait for testosterone to recover I was wondering if anyone continued after ADT to take estradiol patches (25 mcg 2x a week) for bones until testosterone recovered. I'm afraid that estrogen, even at low doses, may block or slow recovery.

Estrogen will suppress testosterone recovery.

Even in a low dosage? My level in the blood actually is 20 pg/ml ?

Tall_Allen in reply to giorgioc

You are right -- That level is very normal for men.

I am very undecided, it is a difficult decision but I think that in doubt I will not use the patches anymore. This disease kills every certainty.

I continue to use the patches, even though I stopped ADT injections a year ago. My testosterone is still <20. However, I have continued with the patches because my E2 level is still in the normal range (whereas it had been 2 when I started), and I do not want to be without both testosterone and E2. I am assuming from TA's responses here that so long as our E2 level is in the normal range, it will not suppress T recovery.

I read your story and can understand why you continue with the patches. Thank you for your testimony, unfortunately I will no longer use the estradiol patches and will pay attention to the blood levels of estradiol hoping for a quick testosterone recovery

would appreciate your recommendation if ones E2 has recently risen too high.

Lots of variation by time of day and site of application.

Hi TA. I made this statement in a response to GiorgioC last evening. Is my understanding correct? --- "I am assuming from TA's responses here that so long as our E2 level is in the normal range, it will not suppress T recovery."

IDK if normal estrogen has any effect in maintaining castration-level testosterone. I would guess it doesn't, but I defer to Wassersug .
