Hey everybody, finally posting for the first time. Got some pretty bad gyno, n decided to go to the endo doc. My stats are as follows. 29 yrs old, 218lbs, 5ft 9, bf of approx 12%. As a young and stupid kid I payed no attention to what I was doing with the AA's I've gotten. Now I am paying the price, never worried about pct, and more was always better. So now my levels are all backwards and are as follows... DHEA- 97 norm(280-640ug/dl)
Estradiol 37 norm(0-53pg/mL), Test Serum 198 L norm(241-827 ng/dl), and free test is 8.4 L norm (9.3-26.5 pg/mL.) These were AM tests too which scared the crap outa me. My last cycle was over 10 mos. ago and was my homemade finaplix-h, @ approx. 78mg eod for 6 weeks, and 200test enantate every 5 days. I have learned to take it easy as I am not body builder, just a fireman who likes lookin good. My training is religous and diet is + or minus 250 calories a day, 1/2 cardio ed. So started feelin like garbage and havin alotta trouble keepin the bf down. Doc started me today on 10mg 2times a day tamox., but I wana know if this is gna drop my estrogen levels enough to start gettin gains again? Will my free test go up?
My girl is a lil younger than me n even she's been noticing changes in my body, n my mood. Is there anything natural tribulus, or anything that works to get me back to the high-normal range? Or am I just stuck with needing the bean for the rest of my life??? I would truly appreciate any feedback at all. Thanks D.

I'd get a new doctor. Tamoxifen won't lower your estrogen, but it may help prevent future breast growth. I'm surprised they didn't put you on Arimidex. Consider Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Yeah pirate thats what I want, but I've never gone to the doc before so felt weird asking for hrt right off the bat. Think I'll take your advice, bc she is a woman doctor and I don't think she can understand what goin on w me. Thnx. D.

She should - I understand what's going on with you!
What was your SHBG by the way?

Hey built theres no doubt in my mind you understand what's goin on w me. I've read most of your stuff on diet and taining and found it very cool. Listen I'm not quite sure what shbg is but my hcg is <2, my lh is 3.7, fsh 2.1, and HGB is 15.8 normal is 14-18. What the hell does all this mean? 
From what I gathered theres notin wrong w the figs, and my pituitary gland is sending the right signals, but just don't get it? Any advice or literature I should check out? Oh and since my dhea is really low would supplementing with dhea help?

HCG is human chorionic gonadotropin Human chorionic gonadotropin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (helps your boys make testosterone and sperm)
LH is lutenizing hormone Luteinizing hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (tells your boys to make testosterone)
FSH is follicle stimulating hormone Follicle-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (tells your boys to make sperm)
HGB is hemoglobin Hemoglobin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't have the reference ranges so I will reserve comment. SHBG is sex hormone binding globulin and orals notoriously elevate it - the higher it is, the lower your "free" or unbound testosterone will be.
