Obtaining correct T:E ratio

Hi All, hope everyone is well?

I have a bit of a problem...My tT, fT is very low (on or below range) and my E2 is high (around the middle of the range). I present with classic hypogonadal symptoms as well. I am 42 with a "highish" bf % but muscular

My labs (below) show the above. I was thinking of making use of aromasin, clomid & nolvadex concomitantly in order to suppress E2 and increase T levels / restart HPTA. Looking at my labs, it would seem that I have excessive aromatase activity, hence my reason for including aromasin in my protocol. But, E2 levels are actually in range, so I am unsure...the serms would increase T, but with the excessive aromatase activity I might go over range ito E2

If you would be so kind, please take a look at the two lab results below, my suggested balancing protocol and comment...(thyroid results to follow soon)

Thanks

1st Test (07/07/15) / 2nd Test (28/09/2015) / Reference Ranges

E2: 72 / 60 / 40 - 161

tT: 6.7 / 4.9 / 8 - 12
SHBG: 12.8 / 17.3 / 11.1 - 78.1
fT: 196 / 126 / 180 - 739
DHEA: 2.29 / 9.98 / 3.8 - 13.1 (supplemented with DHEA)
LH: 4.0 / 3.0 / 1.8 - 8.2
FSH: DNT / 2.6 / 1.0 - 12
Cortisol: 64 (AM) / 142 (AM) / 101 - 535 (AM) 79 - 477 (PM)

What units are your TT and E2 measured in?

How much DHEA are you using and in what form?

What is your body fat %?

Have you used Steroids before?

Hi Megatron, thanks for your questions.

Sorry, the measurements are as follows

E2: 72 / 60 / 40 - 161 (pmol/L)
TSH 0.91 / TBA / 0.35 - 4.94 (uIU/ml)
tT: 6.7 / 4.9 / 8 - 12 (nmol/L)
SHBG: 12.8 / 17.3 / 11.1 - 78.1 (nmol/l)
fT: 196 / 126 / 180 - 739 (pmol/L)
DHEA: 2.29 / 9.98 / 3.8 - 13.1 (supplemented with DHEA) (umol/L)
LH: 4.0 / 3.0 / 1.8 - 8.2 (U/L)
FSH: DNT / 2.6 / 1.0 - 12 (U/L)
Cortisol: 64 (AM) / 142 (AM) / 101 - 535 (AM) 79 - 477 (PM) (nmol/L)

DHEA supplementation: 25mg's capsules M,W,F

Body Fat %, don't have a recent test, last result was 25%, to my mind I am around the same, maybe a bit bigger?

AAS use: 3 years ago, started TRT of 180mg's Test E (split into 2 doses per week), used hCG on occasion to fill out testes, also used Deca for a short stint (details, I cannot remember, but it was not for long), this lasted for 12 months then quit cold turkey 2 years ago. TRT did work well for me iro clinical symptoms, but I did not test levels to see what the effect was there, nor did I control E levels whilst on, or do PCT afterwards...from there my problems I suppose...
 
I received my Thyroid results:

TSH - 1.37 ( 0.35 - 4.94 ) ( uIU/mL)
fT3 (direct) - 5.1 ( 2.6 - 5.7 ) (pmol/L)
fT4 (Thyroxine) - 14.7 ( 9.0 - 19.0) ( pmol/L)
Thyroglobulin - 12.8 (<55) (ug/L)
Thyroglobulin antibodies - 1.97 (<4.11) ( IU/mL)

Not sure what that all means?

Thanks...
