What do your estradiol levels mean?
The short answer
Nobody we follow has said what your estradiol should be. It comes up on the shows, but never with a number.
Your lab prints 30–400 pg/mL. That range exists to catch disease, not to describe your best.
Labs print different ranges by sex: about 30–400 pg/mL for women and 10–40 for men.
What estradiol measures
The main form of oestrogen.
It drives the menstrual cycle and affects bone, mood and cardiovascular tissue in both sexes.
