First cycle pre bloods - Concerned about E2

Hello there,
Yes, another thread asking for the typical bloodwork advice.

31M
175 cm / 5 7' or 5 8' i don't really know
75 kg / 165 lbs
Been on 4 iu HGH for a year. Glucose is 84.

I just did my bloods and needed a second opinion.

Everything looks fine except LDL which is a bit high at 118, but it's always been like that since I was a kid.
AST is also a bit high at 38 (14-35) but I had a few drinks the day before (dumb I know).

Now when looking at hormones I've got:
LH: 3.04
FSH: 2.45
SHBG: 22.4 nmol/L (13.5 - 71.4)
Test: 552 ng/dl (129 - 768)
Free Test: 11 pg/ml (5.4 - 40.1)
E2: 39 pg/ml (<43)
Prolactin: 5.82 ng/ml (4.04 - 15.20)
IGF-1: 316 (63 - 234)

The way I see it, my test is completely average, SHBG is low but free test isn't high as should be expected. Instead, I've got E2 pretty high.
I'm taking Fin, so I guess DHT is nowhere to be found and that leads to an increase in E2. But I didn't expect it to be that high.
With estradiol being almost out of the range I don't think I can manage even 300mg of test without an AI.

My plan was to run a 16week 300-500 mg cycle. I don't want to mix other substances yet as it's my first one. And I'm a bit sceptical about AIs and hair.
What do you guys think about estradiol being at 39 off-cycle? Will it skyrocket?
What can be done, from a natty point of view, to lower E2? (That doesn't involve wrecking my hair with AIs)

Regards

I dont think anyone can predict where your E2 will end up or if you’ll need an AI.

Keep in mind when test goes up.. estrogen does too. Estrogen is good though. Protects your brain. Helps build joozy muscles. Keeps your dick working.

Just run your cycle, have your ancillaries on hand just in case. If you start to experience unpleasant side effects from potential high estrogen.. go get some blood work done. Simple as that.
 
Hey! Your bloodwork looks great.
AST and ALT are good for an athlete.
I think you'll need AI in low dose on a cycle.
In the second week of cycle, check E2.
For hair, you can add minoxidil ))
