[QUOTE="Cyclingislife, post: 242960, member: 42611"] Not sure. I’m not familiar with those labs. You need a sensitive Estradiol test to evaluate estrogen. AI’s are very, very tricky, I would adjust my dose before even considering an AI. Also, Everyone on this site will tell you six weeks on TRT is nothing. Being on trt takes a time commitment, patience, etc and guaranteed you will have Ups and down until you get dialed in. You may get frustrated & impatient but it’s a journey. I went on and off a few times until I figured it out. Most doctors have no idea what their doing. You will not feel awesome every day even when you’re dialed in but I shoot for 80-90% of the time. Initially, it takes at least 3-6 months for your body to settle in. It took me over a year to figure it out. I didn’t start getting lean until year two. I think I would start at 18-20mg EOD and see what happens. It’s much easier to start low then gradually increase if needed. Give any change in dose/protocol at least 6-8 weeks to work. The worst thing you can do is start changing everything week to week, that’s a recipe for disaster. The best advice I can give you is to keep a journal every day. I learned this from a consult I did with a true TRT doc whose been doing this thirty years. Write down your dose and most importantly write down how you feel, sex drive, side effects, etc. You will see patterns develop & that’s how you find your sweet spot. For most people if you keep your dose low enough you don’t need an AI. When my E2 is high, I sweat at night & don’t sleep well. I’ve never dealt with high blood pressure. My wife has it, she’s on daily meds. I would see your doc on that. [/QUOTE]
