T increasing, E2 decreasing on TRT, no AI. Why?

Since the testis is an ellipsoid, I measured major and minor axis. Seemed more accurate than an orchidometer with some fixed sizes to compare to. So measurements were (please don't laugh): Baseline (I guess since early puberty) major and minor axis: 37mm and 17mm after clomiphene and letrozole...
