[QUOTE="madman, post: 201669, member: 13851"] Piss poor move on your doctor's end seeing as you feel amazing let alone your estradiol is barely over the top-end and was most likely not tested using the most accurate assay (LC/MS-MS). Glad to hear you are doing well seeing as you are past the 3-month mark since starting therapy which would be enough time to gauge how you truly feel overall on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency). Just keep in mind that seeing as your TT trough is high 1311 ng/dL and more importantly FT is very high (mind you it was not tested using the most accurate assay) seeing that you are injecting 120 mg split (60 mg every 3.5 days) your peak TT/FT and estradiol will be much higher. Also, keep in mind that although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. The only way to know where your FT truly sits is to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration (next best). With a trough TT 1311 ng/dL and SHBG 36 nmol/L you can rest assured that your FT level is going to be absurdly high. If you feel great overall then leave it be. Forget jumping on the AI and even then if you were experiencing sides or feeling shitty on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency) the most sensible move would be to lower your overall weekly T-dose which would bring down your FT level let alone e2.
