High Estradiol

I guess I feel ok. I don't feel all of the benefits you're supposed to experience from test.
I do get morning wood. haha. Nipples are slightly sore to touch or bump into something. I don't think I have gyro.

for me the benefits of test are:

wanting to to live and enjoy life
having a sex drive
being able to lose BF with proper diet and exercise.
Being able to focus
having a more positive mental outlook/not being depressed.

Trt isn't supposed to make you feel like you're on a cycle or like super man. Only to feel like a normal man.

I do have a pill splitter from when i was taking AI.
I've been doing .5cc per week split into 2 doses for a total of 100mg per week recently.I still had those results.
I used to take a higher dose (between 180 and 200) but not right now.
I think your idea of lowering my TRT dose might be a good idea.

you should lower your test dose. You're already above range. You can afford to take a bit less with no adverse effects.

Why add another drug when you can simply reduce another slightly?



too much imo.



pill splitter. Buy it at cvs. I have the same pills. You can quarter them.



200mg/wk is not a low dose of test. A lot of guys here run more than they need for trt to be effective.



All the more reason to decrease test dose slightly. Try 160-180 for a month then retest.

I do have most of those benefits.
I want to experience all of that.
I have to either lower my TEST or add AI.
I'll have to try one of those options, then get another blood test.
Thank you

Thank you everyone for your feedback.

Ok, 100mg/wk is a low dose, but as you've suggested it's the resulting levels that matter. You should count youself lucky that you're such a high responder. That's great.

I think lowering the the dose is the right thing to try first. I doubt you'll notice any difference in well being, but if you do you can always go back up.

I have 1mg. Arimidex.
I guess I should get some liquid instead, so I can take a lower dose.
Thank you

Yeah, I went down to 0.2 mL. twice per week. I guess that's 80mg.

Thank you Jin

That really isn't high E2 for being on

If no gyno
If no broken dick
if no emotional issues (shouldn't be that low)
If no high blood preasure

Then leave it all alone

That's a great test level for trt

If you do need an AI I'd switch to Aromasin and run it every 5 days at .25mg

What people fail to understand about Aromasin and why it's the best for these situations is it kill the estrogen but not all of it and takes days to grow back to where it was.

Aromasin has been proven not to be needed ed or eod because it take over 72 hour to rebuild back up to where it was.

Why every 5 days? So you don't get too low after a few weeks.

The lower you e2 gets the lower both test level get also and here is where most fail by lowering everything or taking an AI then having to raise test

The other option a professional would tell you to do is don't take an ai but lower your test and both will go down

Lowering your does just by 20mg to 40mg a week will lower the e2.

Maybe you should Lower the test by 20mg then retest in 4 weeks

Personally I wouldn't change anything myself.

Keep in mind you can test in 2 weeks or 1 week changing nothing and all be lower, you'll never test then same each time.

Great info.
I also have polycythemia.
I did lower it 20mg.
I'm going to retest in a few weeks.
I have to pay for it out of pocket.
I appreciate your help.
