Title: Estradiol levels
Post by: Lil Lynn on April 29, 2016, 07:16:23 PM

Hello ladies I've had my blood tests back and am due to see hair doctor next week. Quick question, I'm on a 25mcg oestrogen patch and my estradiol level came back as 88. Is that low?

I'm not sure if you need to know the other readings LH and FSH but they were 37.6 and 57.7.

Thanks

That sounds very low to me.  Depending on how you feel, you probably need to up your dose of oestrogen.

Thanks, I didn't think I had any symptoms other than hair loss but the more I read i think I have. My memory isn't as good as it was and I just don't seem to have the same get up and go as I used to, I seem to be feeling tired all the time.

Being low levels is good news for me as I would like a higher dosage patch.
