High total estrogen 6 years after cycle

I will try to keep this as short as possible. Please bare with me. It's been 6 years.

6 years ago I did a cycle (injectable). I don't remember the exact doses, but I took testosterone (bottle said 400mg), Winstrol, and an AI (I can remember the name, but I believe it started with an E). The cycle lasted approximately 6-8 weeks. I did not do any PCT. Very immature on my part.

Fast forward to 2015. My weight got up to 240lbs. Mainly due to poor diet. I got back in the gym toward the end of 2015. Since then I have got my weight down to 205lbs by watching my macros and fairly intense workouts. I'm 5'9", 33, and between 20-25% BF. Over the past two months my BF loss has halted. I'm still able to put on muscle, but the fat won't budge. My diet is in check and I lift 6 days a week, cardio 6 days a week.

I had my doctor (VA) run blood panel. On June 6 I was at:

FSH 1.2 mIU/mL Reference Range 1.3
-19.3)
LH 3.5 mIU/mL
Prolactin (NTX) 6.3 ng/mL
Test 5.1 ng/mL
Total Estrogen 206 pg/mL (Reference
Range 60-190)

The Doctor wanted to check the FSH and total estrogen levels again in a month. On June 27 levels were the same except:

FSH 2.1 mIU/mL
Total estrogen 349 pg/mL

The doctor recommended I eat more whole wheat and vegetables. I explained my workout was on point and informed her if the cycle 6 years ago. She said she would TRY to schedule a referral to a hormone specialists. I seriously doubt this will happen since it's the VA.

My questions are...

How much is the lack of a PCT still effecting me?

How much is my BF % effecting me?

Are there any AIs or Blockers you would recommend at this point with it being 6 years later?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
High estrogen 6 years after cycle

I will try to keep this as short as possible.

6 years ago I did a cycle. Injected. I don't remember the exact dosage. However, I took testosterone, (the bottle said 400 milligrams I believe), Winstrol, and an AI. ( I can't remember the name of the AI) the cycle lasted approximately 6 to 8 weeks. I did not do any PCT. I know that was very stupid on my part.

Fast-forward to 2015. My weight got up to 240 pounds. Mainly due to poor diet. I got back in the gym toward the end of 2015. Since then I have got my weight down to 205 pounds. I'm 5 foot 9 inches, 33, and between 20 and 25% body fat. Over the past two months my body fat loss has halted. I am still able to put on muscle fairly easy, but the fat won't budge. My macros are in check. My weight training and cardio are fairly intense.

I had my doctor at the VA do a blood panel to see where my levels are. On June 6th they were:

FSH 1.2 mIU/mL
LH 3.5 mIU/mL
Prolactin (NTX) 6.3 ng/mL
Test 5.1 ng/mL
Total estrogen 206 pg/mL

My doctor asked to do another test a month following that due to the high total estrogen and low FSH.

ON June 27 levels were the same except:

FSH 2.1
Total estrogen 349

The doctor recommended I eat more whole wheat and vegetables. I explained my diet and workouts on point. She said she would try to get a referral to a hormone specialist. I'm fairly certain this will not happen because it is the VA. She has already told me there is no medication that she can give me that will help. Which doesn't make sense to me.

My questions are these...

How much do you think the lack of PCT is still affecting my total levels?

How much is my body fat affecting my current levels?

Are there any AIs, blockers,or anything else you would recommend at this point being 6 years later?
 
You need to be checking Estradiol, not Total Estrogen. Ignore your results. Get rechecked. See the link below in my signature for more info on other ways to get blood work run.

Your total testosterone looks decent.

That information is great! I really appreciate the help. I'll get the proper test done myself and see what's going on.
 
To update and possibly get more info...

I had the additional test done and this is what I got back.

Test 606
Free Test 67
Estradiol 68
FSH 1.2

There were a few other listed, but all in normal range. The 68 Estradiole worries me a bit. I've got a consult to do an ultrasound on the test is and see the specialist after in August.

Are these numbers anything to worry about?
