Was hoping someone more experienced could explain something for me, as I see many differing opinions. I’ve seen both that E2 should be kept in the ‘normal’ range, and that E2 should always be kept as at a ratio to total testosterone, 11:1 I believe is the number I see thrown around.
I ask because I’m currently running 250mg EQ and 400mg Test E weekly, pinned twice a week, I’m 5 weeks into the cycle, and just had my bloodwork done, and I’m feeling real flat, lethargic, unmotivated, like I’ve crashed my E2.
Test Total - 1400 ng/dl
Free Test - 1800 pmol/L
E2 - 80 pmol/L
Liver/Kidney/Blood markers all fine. As you can see E2 is bang in the middle of the normal range.
Last time I ran a cycle, it was just 500mg Test E per week, and E2 sat at 250 pmol/L. I felt fine, no sides, but I panicked believe I crashed it with AIs and felt real shit.
So the question is, should my E2 be higher? Should it always be in the normal range, or should it be a ratio to total testosterone levels?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
