Blood Work TRT Wk 7_ E2 Crazy High

[Boofy]

TRT UPDATE AND HELP: April 2026'
Legends,
Bit rattled down here would love some feedback.
Nipples are sore AF.

Current...
7 weeks on TRT - first lot of bloods & not what I expected.
My E2 is through the roof (3x previous) with only a small increase in T total/ free

Current TRT protocol is 135mg Test E per week
Injected IM fasted in the morning Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The bloods were taken Friday morning before my Friday injection

Current Bodyfat 11 - 11.5%
HGH 2IU in the evening
Reta: 1.5mg Wk

Pre TRT Levels
Total Testosterone : 22.8 nmol/L
SHBG : 58 nmol/L
Free Testosterone : 342 pmol/L
E2: 92 pmol/L
IGF1: 47 pmol/L

7 Wk TRT Levels
Total Testosterone : 33.0 nmol/L
SHBG : 57 nmol/L
Free Testosterone : 548 pmol/L
E2: 313 pmol/L
IGF1: 43 pmol/L

My thinking...
- Scale TRT dosage back to 120mg MWF to let everything settle while aromatasing is high.
- Come off HGH to reduce aromatase, water and tissue sensitivity
- Bloods again in 6-8 weeks and see if E2 activity has settled before pushing up dose.

Outcomes...
- health and longevity.
- improve aesthetic
- train forever & remain capable... (not trying to get sauced)

@LevButlerov Will do mate.

Would pinning everyday help stabilise the levels better vs the 3x weekly.

In line with the AI add in, should I increase my TRT dosage given free T is still mid ref range at 135mg.
