[QUOTE="RoneTone, post: 24595, member: 2887"] Why not simply try to get in the mid 20s and see how you feel? Some guys are very sensitive to E2 and your baseline was bottom range. At 35 you're almost 3x your baseline. That's a big change in E2. Some guys seem to do best 15-25. Some guys might feel great at 35 and others may not. I look at it the same way as TT. Some guys do well at 1100 or top of the range, but for me I'd go crazy with anxiety. I like around 700. HRT is so individual. I would listen to your doc and let him use his experience. Until he steers you wrong, why not go with his expertise? You said he's a TRT doc so I imagine he's worked in the trenches with 1000s of guys - right? I'd also start super low, like .25mg 2x a week or E3D and test again in 4 weeks, if he allows. TRT is a game of elimination for many of us. Try things out and see how you feel. If it doesn't make a difference just drop the AI and you'll float back 35 and look at other hormones, diet, etc. I also agree with Dr John (he's my TRT doc) about the ratio theory. I defer to his exp. For me I feel better in the 20s than at around 40 and only need .25 a once or twice week to keep it in the 20s. BTW - my free T is high and my SHBG is low, just like yours. Though my DHT is slightly above range and I'm horn dog lol. I do EOD subq injects at 105mg per week. [/QUOTE]
