I just got my blood test results after being on TRT for 9.5 weeks. The only thing that isn't in the normal range is estradiol. Pre-TRT my Estradiol was at 97, now its 226. So my question is, obviously I need to ad in an AI, but what dose should I start on?
Here are the results:

[h=3]DHT[/b]Dihydrotestosterone is a tissue metabolite of testosterone. DHT has the ability to bind to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) more than three times higher than testosterone. Elevated concentrations of DHT can be observed in men with male pattern baldness or Klinefelter's syndrome.

[h=3]Testosterone 26 nmol/L[/b]Testosterone is an anabolic hormone responsible for bone and muscle strength, as well as mood, energy and sexual function.

[h=3]Free Testosterone 670.7 pmol/L[/b]Most testosterone is strongly bound to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). This test measures the proportion of unbound testosterone which is available to the body's tissues.

[h=3]SHBG 22 nmol/L[/b]Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein that binds tightly to testosterone and oestradiol. Changes in SHBG levels can affect the amount of hormone that is available to be used by the body's tissues.

[h=3]MCV 92 fL[/b]Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is a measure of the average size of the RBCs. The MCV is elevated when RBCs are larger than normal, eg in anaemia caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. When MCV is decreased, RBCs are smaller than normal as seen in iron deficiency anaemia.
