I was wondering if Bound Testosterone can convert to Estrogen. If not wouldn't this imply that only Free Testosterone converts to Estrogen and more free T = more E2?
If that is the case, then wouldn't DHT derivates such as Proviron raise E2? I understand that Proviron doesn't itsself convert to E2 but it does raise Free Testosterone and wouldn't more Free T=more E2?
I ask because I am on TRT and have been through just about every protocol that exist. hCG combined with Test and hCG monotherapy, Nebido every 6-8 weeks, Sustanon every 10-15 days, Test E EOD. Have done IM and subQ
I have recently been doing 17.5mg Sustanon Every Day SubQ this is just 122 mg/week, I combine it with 50 mg Proviron per day and my E2 is 70 pg/mL. I currently take no AI.
E2 is High but I feel very good on this protocol. My TT is about 1700 ng/Ml which is high It is worth noting that my Free Test is very high about 4% of TT because of the Proviron. I am going to lower a bit the Test dose to see if it cuts the E2 down a bit.
Strange thing is I have had higher TT shooting 50mg SubQ Sustanon EOD with a lower E2 but no Proviron and fairly low FT. However I did not feel as good as I do now despite having higher E2 now.
The point is I am on a lower Test dose than before but with proviron and E2 is higher. Despite higher E2 I feel much better which I attribute to the Proviron.
Once I get TT in range I am going to cut the Proviron dosage to see what the labs say.
Thanks
