My E2 got out of range a bit, 277 pmol/l (0 - 172), it's the ECLIA type, but still, maybe that's too high.
At that point I changed from subq injections to quads and had another BW 6 weeks later, I just got the results today. T increased from 23 to 31, E2 from 277 to 357. Everything else is in range, acne is the same.
I probably need to do something about the E2, I'll talk to the doc about it. Either I decrease my HCG and/or T dose or I start taking some AI.
I feel about the same as when I switched to quads, maybe a bit better. Gym has been great, libido is quite high.
I've gained 15kg since I started TRT, it was pretty much a dirty bulk lol, I start cutting tomorrow. It's gonna be tough because I could eat all day.
Youthful55guy, what do you recommend about the E2?
