Do I need an estrogen blocker on TRT?

I got prescribed TRT after years of being tired all the time, brain fog, depression, low sex drive, unable to build muscle, etc. I got my levels checked mt total T was 116 ng/dL and my free T was 2.9 pg/mL.

My doctor started me off low an eventually moved me up to 100mg of Testosterone Cypionate via injection twice a week. After about 7 months on it my total T is now sitting around 850 but I've found I feel super bloated since I've been on it and now my nips are starting to get a little sensitive. My Estrogen Total is 328 pg/mL.

My doctor likes to prescribe Evista(Raloxifene) for it but he says he's not sure if my insurance will cover it. I've been trying to research around the effects of estrogen blockers and if I need it, if it's worth, how long to I take it for, if I cycle or if it's forever. But it's very difficult to find information related to simply TRT and men.

From my understanding the estrogen will continue to rise as I am not TRT and I'd rather not get gyno.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Your E2 is 328?! Isn't the high end of normal like 40? I would say yes. You absolutely need an AI.

I’m waiting for this to jump in. All the different units of measure throw me off. If it’s ng/dl then you need a different doc

Are you rewatching The Notebook, are you getting an urge to “nest”, are you eating a pint of Ben and Jerry’s are you crying yourself to sleep, are you a guy who donates to #metoo because you feel ashamed to be a guy?

What do you think is a good range for E2. Ive heard people say they have been over a hundred and others say dont take it. Do most you guys go by feel.

I try and keep it in the same range as the age of the women I find hot...

I would suggest taking a blocker if you are on TRT, but bloods will verify if it is absolutely necessary.
