dont worry about increase in estrogen in blood work, worry about how you feel

I have a question on this. Totally understand the "how you feel" approach. However, I wasn't feeling much of a change even though my test levels (total and free) had increased sufficiently. My estrogen levels were more than double what the clinic said should be the high end of average. I wasn't necessarily having negative side affects, but wasn't seeing anything majorly positive after going from below normal range to the highest levels of normal. Taking a blocker and now feel more energy in the gym and at jiu jitsu. But that's also because I really started working out more since starting TRT and maybe my fitness is just catching up. Hard to say if the estrogen blocker is helping that.

I will say that the possible physical side affects of high estrogen scared me. I know they may not happen for a majority of people, but I don't want to deal with gynecomastia and not know until it already starts.
