Based on your test results, Sammie, you must be doing all the right things with your NBE program. Your free T is very low -- right in the middle of the range for a normal bio-female. Your total T, however, as we discussed privately, is at the lower end of normal for bio-male. That's probably due to your taking Spearmint which, correct me if I'm wrong, binds free T with SHBG but still counts it in the total T measurement.
Stopping all your AAs should increase your free T and total T, but who can say for sure. It'll be very interesting to see the results next month.
I didn't think to ask why you elected to go on a low dose of estradiol. Do you expect it to trigger more breast growth? If you add more estrogen to your body, won't your endocrine feedback systems push down your T even further?
You said you are continuing with progesterone cream (PC). Is that to deal with the possibility of experiencing estrogen dominance with the addition of estradiol on top of the miroestol from PM?
I'm sorry. Too many questions. This is so interesting, though.
