Guys, is it possible to have a very high level of E2, but experience no moodiness or water retention? My E2 is over 72 but I feel fairly emotionless if that makes any sense. Almost like the symptom low E2 guys suffer. Any ideas why?
It maybe just be you, not everything is hormonal.

What’s your SHBG? If it’s high, then you can prolly get away with higher e2
Around 31. Reason I ask is that I"m adding pregnenolone and increasing my DHEA from 25 mg to 75 as 25 mg barley raised my dhea-s levels 2 points. And both these supps are known to raise E2.
Yes, some over 100 are just fine. We all respond differently to hormones.
When I first started TRT I was deathly scared of E2. I read all the posts about keeping it at 22 and any issue I had I automatically attributed it to estrogen. You see 5 new posts a day just like it. What I’ve learned over this journey is that no two people are the same and a majority of TRT side effects will go away on their own given enough time. The problem is most people (myself included at some point) don’t give their protocol enough time to work. From 100mg-200mg at the 2-3 month mark all symptoms went away. Some doses left me feeling better than others but everything I attributed to E2 always worked itself out over time. You’ll see that most people post their own experience as truth. Me I need a higher dose to feel like a man. For me an E2 of 77 is a meaningless number. For others, they have issues at higher doses and they preach about estrogen getting too high causing issues. Who’s correct? The answer is both. You try a certain protocol, give yourself 2-3 months and if you’re having issues then you know a change is in order. When my E2 was 30 I had zero libido. My E2 is close to 80 now and I have the sex drive if a 16 year old in the 90’s that just found their Uncle’s collection of playboys. Only you can answer how it effects you.

Its amazing what guys are missing these days. The chance to feel 16 again. So many guys nowadays having all sorts of problems with sex and their drive and I think, but science has provided us with the tools to fix all that. I blast and cruise, but since getting on the test for good, I feel 16 again. Constantly horny, always thinking of sex, and every women looking beautiful. Its amazing. You feel a horny alpha male all the time.
It really is the best decision I have ever made. I truly hope everyone starting TRT is able to wade through the shit and able to pick out what they need to get there because being dialed in is such an amazing feeling. I’m a few beers in so maybe a little too emotional of a post (high E2 maybe? Dissolve anastrozole In vodka and take 3 shots? Jk) but I feel for the guys that have felt so bad for so long and trying to figure this thing out.
