Hey all, hoping to seek the collective wisdom of any and all
Just received my blood work and found my estrogen to be what vigorous Steve may call sky high ? 122pg/ml
I have seen the 'optimal' range to be anywhere between 40pg/ml (140pmol/L) to 80pg/ml (290pmol/L) but then to also consider the ratio of E2 to total test.
I've attached all related blood work that may be of use
About me: currently in week 9 / 16-20 of my (first ever cycle) test E cycle, started at 350mg and over time found it to be quite underwhelming (I know this may seem brash and idiotic) and titrated up to approx 500-600mg per week.
Taking telmisartan 40mg both prophylactically and to help reduce my systolic (sits around 130-140). Other supps, fish oil, vit D if sun exposure is low and premium supps warrior when training.
Unsure if required in this kind of post but also training 4 days (upper/lower split), with two main cardio days (one HIIT and one long hard run)
So with all of this, does this warrant the use of an AI like exemestane, as I think/feel that I am not experiencing many high E2 sides, other than moderately high blood pressure and some very slight acne.
And while we're here, a slight detour, would these bloods favour the use of 20mg of Anavar for 4 weeks toward the end of the planned 16-20 weeks or should I not be a dickhead and stick the course of my first cycle?
I greatly appreciate any help and support in a post probably seen time and time again and apologise if ive forgotten to include any other important information.

no one will think what you did is brash or idiotic, we are here to help you, not judge you.
