    I would not be worrying about anything else until I know I have had good testosterone levels AND good e2 levels for a couple of months.

    Of course, if your thyroid is shit then attack that too. But if it's good and you have no reason to suspect it, then leave it alone for now. Too often we chase numbers. In this case, it looks like you are chasing numbers for XYZ when you are still working on ABC... and haven't even had follow up labs yet.

    I wasted a lot of time on TRT with bad T and E2. I knew my therapy was poor so why would I expect to feel any better? That would be unreasonable. That's why follow up labs are critical, and then you make changes. And give things time to work. TRT is not an overnight process.
