Back on TRT but trying to dial in better
So this could be long winded so I apologize . I was previously on TRT and it was through a clinic that did it via pellets or bio identical pellet insertion. I did this for a little while but had to stop cause the cost was ridiculous. Fast forward to now maybe a year later give or take I decided to get back on but by sourcing my own Test . I had my physical back in January and specifically. Told my PCP that I was on this previous and asked for specific bloods to be drawn to see where I’m at, ya know total free bio available test shbg estrogen etc and they basically said nah you don’t need all that and they only tested my total test. That came back at 255. Fast forward to now it’s been 2 weeks I’ve been on my own test. I’m running test-c 200mg/wk two pins a week Sunday morning/wed night. I paid for my own lab work and had it done after maybe 3 total doses to myself and results were
Total T- 797
Free t- 109.6
Bioavailable- 225.3
SHBG- 36
Albumin- 4.5
Lutenizing hormone- 1.2
Estradiol- 49
Prolactin - 11.1
I know estrogen needs to get down. When I did test via pellets at clinic I started anastrozole 1mg once a week and that crashed my estrogen so it changed to 1 every other week.
What could I be doing to dial in better here?
I know I’m over weight , in gym daily , take vitamins, DIM, and organ support (nac,Tudca, milk thistle etc.) and according to calculations I am eating in a deficit at 2229-2315cal a day
I am on Zepbound too and just starting my 2nd month at 5mg
Any thoughts ideas whatever appreciated and will answer any questions to best of my ability
Thanks!

200mg per week at 797??? Yuck. 75mg a week puts me at 850. Might recheck that....
Best you can do is listen you body and see what is better for you wich range you feel better since every body work different and react diferent,do bloods for fine you sweet spot
For me 200mg a week would be a little high it would have me right around 1200ng/dl after about 6 weeks at that does. For me 150mg a week pinning 50mg M/W/F keeps me between 800-900ng/dl and I'm only taking 1/2mg arimidex a week to keep my e2 right at the upper end of the range honestly at 49 on the e2 in wouldn't be too concerned you should treat the symptoms not the number, a lot of guys like to run e2 as high as possible without symptoms for me I'm good in the mid to upper 50's once it starts creeping into the 60s is when I started having problems. This may not be the right protocol for you but for me 50mg 3 times a week has me feeling pretty good without e2 being out of control and keeps my test in the upper end of physiological levels.
Yeah I’m trying to treat the e2 symptoms
Still low energy and sex drive , very hard to take off weight despite diet and gym etc
I feel if I can get it down a bit may help
