So I've been on trt now for about 2 years. My serum T is 570 and free is 14.2. I'm 63, 5'9" and 155. No signs of estradiol problems. Does this seem fine? Hairier than I've ever been in my life. I'd like to have more sex drive.

What is your protocol? How, other than low libido, do you feel? More context will generate more responses.
 
Your Total T of 570 is OK, but not great. Often guys do not really 'feel' TRT until their Total T is 700 or more. In general, its a good idea to have your Total T in the upper quartile of the natural range, and if we assume 1100 at the top end (Different tests show different upper limits) a target range for Total T to fall would be 825 - 1100.

More info on your protocol as CoastWatcher said will definitely be helpful.

Current protocol and current lab work would be a big help. Your total Test level after two years of TRT is not indicative of someone on a successful protocol. Give us with something to work with please.

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.
