Can you detect any imbanlance? low estrogen?

thanks

Not by much,

The increase in prolactin could be the reason for the lower E, DHEA seems a bit lower, so adding in 25 mg at first could help, which can go either way from androstenedione pathway.

Prolactin will suppress E, much like progesterone will, which I dont see (progesterone) test result.

Think about diet, ways to reintroduce E gradually back into the system.

Thanks for your feedback Lotus.

I was thinking in adding goat's rue but now looking at the results it doesn't seem the best as i already have high levels of prolactin.
And about taking DHEA, is because it's a precursor of estrogen? but it's a precursor of testosterone too right? so makes sense while taking DHEA to take a pro aromatase herb?
I stopped the MACA for some days cause i have lots of acne right now and i'm trying to find out the reasons for. Would going for BO promote natural production of DHEA? or would you go for a pro estrogen herbs program with these results and take DHEA?

In my diet i've already added flaxseeds and i'm massaging with flaxseed oil. i'm also drinking spearmint tee and taking pumpkin oil as an anti-testosterone.
