So why would I still have a low E2 level?How does the Estradiol correspond with the FSH or vise versa ?I guess what I am trying to ask is what is the more important level the FSH or the Estradiol in checking to see if I am menopausal?I am 41 years old and had a hysterectomy and LSO in 4/98 and then had an RSO in 11/99,Pelvic pain still continued so I tried a 4 month course Lupron which didn't help at all. So far with being on the aromatase inhibitor treatment for 9 weeks I have seen quite a decrease in the pelvic pain.THanks for your responce,Peggy
