I wanted to share my bloodwork results and get feedback from others who may have experienced something similar.
Initial bloodwork (3 months ago):
- Total Testosterone: 15.17 nmol/L
- Free Testosterone: 279 pmol/L
- SHBG: 39.6 nmol/L
- Estradiol (E2): 105 pmol/L
Current bloodwork (after 3 months):
- Total Testosterone: 20.21 nmol/L
- Free Testosterone: 420 pmol/L
- SHBG: 35.1 nmol/L
- Estradiol (E2): 37 pmol/L
Only change during these 3 months:
- 6 mg of boron daily
- No TRT, no major lifestyle or medication changes
Results:
- Total testosterone increased significantly
- Free testosterone increased even more
- SHBG dropped slightly
- Estradiol dropped dramatically
While the testosterone increase seems positive, I’ve been feeling very fatigued lately, and I’m wondering if the large drop in estradiol could be contributing to that.
Has anyone here experienced something similar with boron supplementation or with lowered estradiol levels? Could low estradiol be a likely cause of fatigue despite improved testosterone numbers?
I’d really appreciate hearing from others with similar experiences or insights.
