Dropped AI a month ago...

Got the new numbers from my low point (day before I stick) (I used the lab from this page):

T: 876
E: 37
Free Test: 126
SHBG: 37

So not sure how to interpret these myself, and could use the help of this fellowship. I've been on T for a year now. I used to take an AI once a week a day after my injection (140 per week). I dropped the AI to see if I felt any different -- I do not. Libido is still "meh."

Anyway, would love some thoughts.

Have you tried injecting twice per week instead of once? It'll help you keep your estrogen level down without an AI and give you a higher trough level of T.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
