Why are you pathologically afraid of estradiol? It is a necessary hormone for male health. Suppressing it makes absolutely no sense. Prescribing it as a standard element of a TRT protocol is poor medical practice. Was your e2 measured on the sensitive estradiol test? Your lab report will tell you as the term sensitive or ultrasensitive will appear (the methodology is LC, MS/MS). I ask because the range you quote is suspicious and resembles the standard test. If that is the case your resulting value is unreliable and likely (though not certainly) means your actual level is lower than that. But, even if it's the right test, there is no reason in the world for you to be fearful of a result such as you posted.  The upper limits are not carved in stone, I have had results that exceeded LabCorp upper limit by a reasonable bit and felt just fine.

Your doctors have practiced in a manner that causes many here to doubt their skill. The obstinate use of an AI is poor practice, they crashed your e2, they may have ordered the wrong estradiol test, your protocol is being changed after only two weeks, it takes four weeks for serum levels to become stable, you aren't being served well at all. You deserve better care.
