Estrogen levels on TRT

[rickyd]

1st time on TRT and my Oestradiol came in at 186 pmol/L, above the 150 range on my test sheet. Is this normally considered high and what do people do about it? No real symptoms, maybe a bit of tiredness, but still getting good results.

I’d just finished a 12 week cycle of 250mg. Taking Dr prescribed TRT and topping up, so I cycled off to get T within range before the bloods. They said to do another test in 8 weeks and if it’s still high they’ll add a blocker.

I’m 48M.

An Oestradiol level of 186 pmol/L is a little high, but not unusual for those on TRT. Since you’re not having major symptoms other than some tiredness.. that’s a good sign. Your doctor’s advice to retest in 8 weeks is good. If your levels are still high you might get prescribed an ai to lower it. Until then just keep an eye on how you feel and stay consistent with your TRT doses, the consistency of TRT will help maintain stable hormone levels, which can minimise issues.

At the age of 45+.. it's about finding the right balance for your body.

Cheers mate, thanks for the reply, will monitor symptoms and do the retest at 8 weeks.

You should be good without “topping up “. DIM , Grape seed extract and other natural herbs seem to help. My levels came back lower than expected after losing some BF and Daily supplements ( 3 months). Easiest to lower test dose or add a little Masteron or Primobolan if you do another sports trt. Body fat and age don’t help- never had issues until my 50’s
