My estradiol number came back as "<5". I think this is what is expected, showing that the Lupron is sufficiently suppressing estrogen production in my ovaries.
I originally switched from exemestane to Tamoxifen because the estradiol number wasn't low enough, but even though the number appears to be fine now, I think my doctor figures I should just stay on Tamoxifen, since I haven't had any significant issues with this regimen. I think I'm okay with this decision; exemestane might be slightly more effective at preventing recurrence, but I definitely have fewer side effects on Tamoxifen.
