Estrogen Level = High - Can old cycle of hormones decade ago be a factor?

[TheResearcher]

Went to a HRT doctor about 2 weeks ago...had my levels checked, age middle 30's...

T = 499 250-1100 Normal
Estrogen Total = 271 130 or less normal
BioAvailable Test = 160 110-575 normal

We went over a few things and he was surprised my estrogen total was at that level. Asked me if I had done any grey market hormones to which I replied no. I may/may not have done a couple of 500mg test cycles over 10 years ago but that's it. Nothing more than 8 weeks too.

One thing I've noticed over the past few years is that my thinking process has been a bit foggy. Nothing major, but it's definitely noticeable, much harder to concentrate.

Would it be possible to have never fully recovered from a couple of cycles 10 years ago? I didn't do much for PCT back then.

I'm at a sub 10% or so BF right now, getting ready for my first competition in 5 weeks...natural so far, and getting rid of the last little belly fat has been a pain in the ass.

Damn those are pretty high natty levels, had you drank a lot of alcohol the night before? whats your diet like

Haven't drank for 5 weeks. Started dieting 5 weeks ago at 205 pounds, dropped to 188 now. Cardio 3 times a week, gym 6 times a week. Diet for past 2 weeks is 100g carbs, 250g protein, 50 g fat 3 days week, and 200g carb, 250g protein, 50 g fat for other days of week.

It is possible that you never fully recovered. Also, your fast drop in weight couldve been hard on your body, messing with your hormone levels. Hard to say without a doctor/endo doing some more testing. Perhaps they can figure it out.

Hrt doc? Well, just jump on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Feel ten years younger. IMT a board sponsor has a lot of knowledge about all things. I would talk to them.
