been on trt and got a few questions about my bloodwork

I'm about done trying to find a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doc here(my town) that knows his ass from a hole in the ground.

got my bloods done a few weeks ago and here are the numbers.
blood was drawn 8 days after a 100mg test cyp inj. Been on 100-150 mg weekly.
I feel fine, other than having to flog the dolphin 2x/day


total test 494 ng/dl
free test 13.02 ng/dl
% free testo 2.6
sex hb globulin 18.9 nmol/L

estradiol, ultra 62 pg/ml
estrone 91.6 pg/ml
total estrogens 153.6 pg/ml


looks like compared to the reference range my estrogen in double what it probably should be.

I dont have any signs of gyno or sore nips even, but I am retaining a little water.

Should I start looking for and Aromatase inhibitor (AI) ?

And which one? Was going to order some more test cyp and some Nolva and/ or clomid for a possible small cycle in the future, but I may need to handle the high estrogen sooner than that... Thoughts. Thanks

The 'standard' is to use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) (if you don't want your nuts to shrink). Your estradiol is high. Your test is low (low meaning for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) standards) Try and have your doc put you on more frequent injections...or do the smart thing and get on board with Maximus

Your test levels look fine (low end) for being 8 days out. Like you said your estrogen is high. Try pinning every 4-5 days. This might level everything out. Personally I would pin every 4-5 days for 6-8 weeks and then get retested. If my estrogen levels are still high I would then get on some type of Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Good luck brother..

X2 split the same dose up into more frequent injections.

Ask dr for Aromatase inhibitor (AI) or get a natty one.

I'm not a regular here, but I could use some help

If any of you lived close I'd render info in MY specialty...... Plumbing!
But these inj and oral compounds can seriously fuck someones system if not used correctly.

Class? Anyone..... Anyone

Ya. I was thinking real hard about pinning closer together. Trying to get this dialed in. When I started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), she had me injecting 200mg 1x/month. Worthless dose I found out after some research, after several labs and my levels were decreasing (4 weeks after last inj), I got her to decrease dosage but increase frequency. I can feel the difference now, but it's now 5 days since last pin and I don't have to slam my dick in the door to get it in my pants.

I don't know how high the E has to get before I'm negatively impacted, but I'd rather not find out, besides I want to try higher test dosage like 200 or 250 every 5-6 days.

So probably one of the lighter Aromatase inhibitor (AI) meds like Arimedex or clomid. Any other ideas? I've never taken an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) so I don't have a pref or no the disagree either
Thanks so much for the replies, iff means a log to me

250 every 5 days is a low aas cycle dose for most people. You'd be better served trying less and increasing if blood work shows a need. 150mg e5d has me spot on happy.

Adex yes for an AI

will do.thanks for your help. I'm currently 255-260 and I carry a lot of muscle. 220-225 I'd be looking pretty tough. I'll get to that point and reevaluate. Maybe I'll want more mass, but I doubt it. Right now, just trying to trim the fat and keep the muscle. When I get to 10-15% bf I'll decide what's next

This was in AAS dorum. Mod musta moved it

I'm 247lb AM 6'2" with decent abs when flexed (10% ish BF) and 150mg e5d is enough to keep my levels high high range on day 5 and maintain quite a bit of mass and strength with my super disciplined diet.
