Cycle complete: need 2nd opinion on elevated e2

ad

Hi All,
Just completed 10 weeks on the below schedule, followed by 4 weeks of pct as described below. I got my T-levels checked before, in the middle, and 2 weeks after pct had concluded.

Im concerned that my FSH is on the very low side of normal, while my estradiol is on the very high side of normal. I have some additional AI that I could use, but I wanted to ping the experts for some feed back before taking any action.

Stats first:
Age: 29
Weight: 80kg-176lbs
Height 5'8"
BF% 15%
Working out: 9 years
--Actually training heavy: last 4 years

Cycle: 10 weeks. Test-e only.
Week 1-10:
testE @ 250mg 2x/wk (Front loaded with 1000mg/week for the 1st two weeks.)
HCG @ 250iu 2x/wk (from week 2)

Week 1-14:
Arimidex @.5mg EOD
Week 12-16 (pct): nolva 40/20/20/20 every day

Blood work:
(Reference ranges are in brackets)
Precycle:
Test: 552 (280-800) (I realize now that e2 wasnt included in the first report, rookie mistake)

Mid-Cycle (week 6-7):
Test: 4502 (280-800)
E2: 71.5 (7.6-42.6) Had early gyno symptoms and upped the AI dosage from here

Present day: 2 weeks Post PCT (Nolva + Clomid):
Testosterone: 844 (348-1197)
LH: 6.1 (1.7 - 8.6)
FSH: 1.8 (1.5 - 12.4)
E2: 41.2 (7.6 - 42.6)

Its also surprising how elevated my T-levels are compared to pre-cycle, I've been training hard and eating right but I'm not sure that would cause a 300 point jump as the esthers have surely cleared the system by now. With regards to the elevated E2, maybe my AI is bunk? Curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks so much for any insight.

I agree probably underdosed

Clomid and nolva are most likely still in your system boosting your test. I always wait a month after pct for bloods. As for you e2 being high, I don't think your ai was bunk. I've seen guys with bunk ai with estrogen in the 300s. We all react differently tho. So idk I would think they would have been a lot higher if it was totally bunk . Maybe underdosed as .5mg eod is not a light dose. Should have keep you within normal so I would say it was underdosed. Or you just convert a lot of test to estrogen.
