[QUOTE="ERO, post: 36121, member: 1210"] There is a theory called the Testosterone to Estrogen ratio. Basically, it takes into account the fact that men need a certain amount of both T and E2 and that more important than a static number for each of them is the ratio between the two. Young healthy men have a T:E ratio of between 14 and 20. So for example if you had an E2 of 30 and a Total T of 600, your T:E ratio would be 20. This concept is logical when you think about it and it helps show why striving toward a specific number on a test can be futile. For example, a lot of guys want to get their E2 to be right at, lets use 30 again. Well, if they have a Total T of 900 or 1000, which would be common on TRT, their ratio is blown out of the water and that E2 number is way too low for those Total T levels. With a Total T of 900 and an E2 of 30, the T:E ratio is 30, and for a Total T of 1000 and an E2 of 30 the T:E ratio is 33.3. Now there is always the exception - say the guy that is super sensitive to E2 and that needs a lower E2 level than most guys to feel good - but by and large the T:E ratio is a handy guideline and helps one to get past chasing his tail trying to get to a set number on a blood test.
