What was your E2 pre TRT, and Post TRT?

[lacey23]

Basically I'm curious if people with low E2 numbers prior to TRT correlate with not needing to use an AI, so wondering if people could shed some light on where their E2 stood with low test, and where E2 is on test.


Thanks

Before TRT is was low 20's. Without an AI I am mid 70's. The leaner you are the less you should aromatize, but I am about 18% body fat, nothing crazy, and have to use 1mg or arimidex weekly (more than most).

I wish I would have tested my E prior to starting trt to get a baseline. Seems most only run bloods for E after starting TRT.

That seems like a pretty significant jump. I'm assuming you use HCG , test cyp. Anything else, like DHEA?

How much did your test increase from pre trt to post trt?

50mg test cyp twice weekly. 400iu HCG the day before Injections and .5mg arimidex the day after test injections. DHEA I take 25mg micronized at breakfast and lunch daily as well as 50mg micronized pregnenolone at breakfast.

Pre trt I was in the upper 200's / low 300's. On trt I am in the upper 900's with free test at upper range.

Thanks very much.

Do you feel good with this, or 'roller coaster'-ish chasing E2 around?

[FRDave]

I feel great, just took a while to dial in my E2.

What did your ideal E2 end up being? Sensitive or normal E2 test?
