Starting trt but estradiol is 89 to begin with?

[Binkdink]

I'm 38, 182cm, 215ish, 22% bf. doc put me on trt at 100mg a week split into two doses, added hcg Because we are planning another one in 1-2 years.

Pre trt:
350 total test
89 estradiol
15 shbg

How should I manage estradiol? I've never taken anything before.

Depends on the unit of measurement, pg/ml for estradiol? If yes, retest during trt and then you will decide what to do

You need to find out what your blood levels are now that you are on TRT. What your E2 was previous to TRT is meaningless now as the number will be different. In general getting your bodyfat down will lower E2 numbers for most.

You probably need to be on an AI. Chances are your bf % is higher than 22. All that fat is making aromatase enzymes and converting your test to e2. Add more test, you'll have more e2. More e2 will make your body store more fat. It's a vicious cycle.

Once you've been on trt for 4-5 weeks, get your free and total test along with an ultrasensitive e2. It would be a good idea for you to read up on GLP-1. It will help you drop that bf % down quickly.

You can do it!

You need an AI. The hcg is pushing your e2 up.
