DIM helps convert E2 (Estradiol) to E1 (Estrone). Estrone (E1) has much less estrogenic activity than E2 and is more easily eliminated from the body. Additionally, E1 has the unique ability to displace T from SHBG and help to increase Free T.
I also recommend adding zinc too. I haven't researched that one much, but my original TRT doc (one of the big names in the industry) recommends it to help control E2. He recommended 200 mg per day, but I felt that was a bit high, so I take 100mg (50 AM and 50 PM). Make sure you balance that with an intake of 2 mg of copper for every 50 mg zinc. Otherwise, you may end up with a copper deficiency.
Given your labs, I'd also consider bumping up the T just a little. I'd adjust the dose to 120 mg and consider going to an every 3 day (E3D) protocol for injections. That will help smooth out the peaks and cause less conversion to E3 and DHT than a 2X per week protocol. It will also make the intervals between injections consistent, which means that you can choose any injection day to do your labs rather than a specific day of the week as you need to do with a 2X protocol.
