"Only" taking 200mg ffs, lol! So, not trt then, but on a cycle? If so, i wouldn't worry about it.

No definitely not trt lol. My total testosterone is 1500 lol but why not worry about it?

what crap advice " i wouldn't worry about it" ? High estrogen like that is not good AT ALL, unless your trying to grow tits,,,,, lmao
"What crap advice". Ok doctor, thanks for that...
Well for starters, just so the OP knows - the 'ultrasensitive' LC/MS test is well known to be very accurate - when measuring at low levels of estradiol. Its accuracy at higher levels is hit and miss, and in fact, he'd have got a more reliable result using the immunoassay based e2 test which would almost definitely given a more accurate, and lower result. Secondly, if he's only on 200mg/week short term (and i'd said, if "on a cycle"), then unless there's any side effects, why worry about raised e2?
Well yours is actually just not that high. Your T/E ratio is around 33:1. If you google "ideal T/E ratio on trt", you'll see figures around 10:1. You're ok.
I'm taking 1mg of arimidex per week so I hope it goes down
See my post above - you're already at a good level.
Just looked it up on google but little confused to understand . It explains testosterone to estradiol) ratio is generally considered to be between 10 and 20; meaning for every 1 unit of estradiol, you should have 10-20 units of testosterone, with the mid-range. My estrogen is at 96 with total testosterone of 1500.
It appears that ratio of estrogen to TT is just bullshit. There's no such thing. Estradiol needs to be inside the range or slightly above, max. Either on TRT either blasting 2gr of test. Estradiol is cardioprotective and has other benefits while on normal levels, more is not better, more is more chances of side effects.
"There's no such thing". Are you saying you don't understand what "ratio" is, or that it exists?!
I understand what it is, i'm just saying it is not a valid way to measure estradiol.
I believe the way i wrote it was clear.
Got your e2 mixed up with the OP. So your ratio then is around 15:1. But, overall if your e2 is 96 pg/ml, then that is pretty high. If it was measured by ultrasensitive LS/MS, then it might not be accurate (due to that test only being accurate at low levels of e2)
Fair enough, i agree e2 shouldn't be very high. Just remember though, the ranges though weren't determined from people taking testosterone and having very high t levels
Yeah, but why estradiol is ok to be 3+ times over the normal range and the rest of hormones like SHBG, prolactin, progesterone etc are not?
Afterall, estradiol is mostly a female hormone..that by itself should say something, i think we all agree we want to be and look as much as the opposite of that haha
The OP's level was 47, which isn't THAT high. The guy above with 96 pg/ml though, should probably either drop his dose or use an ai (or lose body fat if actually fat?)
