[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 115493, member: 15832"] Welcome to Excelmale, I don't see any SHBG labs which is crucial for determining dosing and injection frequencies and your E2 labs are for females, men require the LC/MS/MS method designed for males because any other test overstates your true E2 levels. This means your true E2 levels are actually lower, but can't tell because the doctor doesn't know the difference between male and females E2 testing. Your Total and Free T numbers suggest SHBG is at or below 16 nmol/L, if this is the case this protocol is wrong for you. Normally competent doctors don't start a guy out on a AI right away, unless pre-TRT labs suggest excessive aromatase activity. Simply lowering the T dosage is the first best option to lower slightly elevated E2 levels. If I had the choice to be on a large dose of testosterone together with an AI v.s Test only without an AI and be slightly lower in the ranges, I would choose the latter. There's is no benefit to taking an AI, it doesn't nothing good for you. [/QUOTE]
