I have elevated e2 and inject test cyp sub q every other day. Curious if switching to test prop eod sub q would lower my e2.

Highly unlikely as you are injecting EOD using smaller doses of testosterone. Larger doses injected less frequently would result in more aromatization and ones overall testosterone levels plays a role as increasing t will result in increasing ones e2.

What is your weekly testosterone dose and your total t/free t levels on your current protocol?

If your e2 is high (sensitive assay) and you are experiencing symptoms than you may need to look into the use of an a.i. or possibly lower your weekly testosterone dose to reduce e2.
 
If you really want to lower your estradiol levels through more frequent injections. The best way would be to try daily injections.

TT 660 and E2 75 (sensitive assay)...............your e2 is really high compared to your TT.

You are definitely an aromatizer.

You are 6'2/280 lbs............roughly what is your body fat %. You may need to look into your diet/training in order to loose excess adipose to possibly help in lowering your E2, otherwise the use of an a.i. may be in order if you are experiencing high e2 symptoms.

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.
