Hi.
First of all what's the need to do 150-250mg year around? It's not even a trt+ (small cycle as you mentioned).
Unless you do 130kg of muscle mass, it has no benefit to to this.
Just find a good balance between testosterone and e2. To feel good and not grow a silent gyno who will then ask for a heavy medication that could have been avoided in TRT phase.
The conversion to e2 is specific to each person, it is mainly genetic. Just like the body's reaction to X free e2.
So according to this there is only the amount of testosterone injected and bodyfat that can influence naturally (please keep it low).
And maybe daily injection (or EOD) to avoid spike conversion with test E.
Another solution to avoid peaks would be the use of testo undecanoate as a base. But first you need to know the dose that suits you perfectly for your "TRT+". Because that any dose adjustment with Test U takes a long time.

Hi Mark,
My opinion on E2 control is to understand a few key principles.
A. If estradiol is too low — reduce the aromatase inhibitor dosage.
B. If estradiol is elevated but you feel good — don’t rush to lower it. First, look at how far it is above the upper reference range.
C. If estradiol is elevated and you feel like crap — start using an aromatase inhibitor at the lowest possible dose and set up checkpoints to compare changes in your bloodwork and how you feel.
Everything beyond that is just details we can go through.

- There’s the number on your blood test — you need to know what it is.
- It’s important to understand how you feel at a particular estradiol level.

thank you for your infos on this topic! WIll get bloods next week and check the numbers and got back to you! ty
sounds good mark. i'd focus on total testosterone, sensitive estradiol, hematocrit and your lipid profile. remember that e2 should be interpreted alongside symptoms rather than treated as an isolated number as Sam explained. your current testosterone dose and injection frequency will also help us understand the results. keep us updated.
Keep in touch mate!thank you for your infos on this topic! WIll get bloods next week and check the numbers and got back to you! ty
