What are they then? When I looked them up it seemed they were. Water retention as well. Insomnia. I’ve seen a lot of guys on this site TRT to monitor their E2 and keep it at a certain range because of it getting too high. But I asked for you’re guys opinion and you gave it to me that’s fair. Mind you the e2 test was a sensitive test
High E2 symptoms are gynomastia, lumps in the nipples, swollen extremities, increased body fat, enlarged prostate, and yes mood swings but mood swings happen with changes in testosterone as well. Eat more cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower and take some DIM before you think about an AI.
a lot of guys on this site read bodybuilding mags and have a lot of old information regarding estrogen and think you don’t need estrogen and should keep it as low as possible. And yes, I don’t want it too high because it could cause other cardiovascular problems. But too low is much worse.
 
The answer is easy. Your E2 is actually too low. Symptoms of high and low E2 are similar. If your TT is over 1400, then your E2 should be way higher. Over 70 probably probably. Your ratio is off. Hence issues.

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.
