Estradiol peak day on trt?

My trt doctor wanted to see what my peak levels were so she had me get my bloodwork 3 days after my weekly trt shot. My test came back at 970, but the bad news is my estradiol sensitive test came back high at 54. My question is, when on trt does estradiol peak similarly to test levels meaning my estradiol might actually be a lot lower if I had it measured right before my weekly shot on “trough” day or would you not expect that much of a difference?
 
I've wondered this myself. It might help to include your protocol and if your taking a AI or not.
 
For the most part I feel Ok. Not super human or 18 again by any means. I'm relatively new to TRT. Only been on for about 8 weeks. Started at 200mg every 2 weeks. Did that for a month then went to 100mg every week for couple weeks. Saw a new doc and he put me on 200 mg every week with 1/2 a Ai on dose day and the other half 3.5 days after. Haven't had any blood work since i started so I cant give you any numbers. I hope to get some soon. The one thing that did improve was the sex drive. I do think and act on it more than I did before. Before it was a after thought I could care less if I got any or not.
From most of my research it talks about morning wood being a good indicator of your hormones being right. I can tell you thats true. If i go a couple days of not being horney or no morning wood then I know My estrogen is either to high or to low. Its possible I'm taking to much Ai at 1mg a week. I think I might reduce my dose of Ai to half of what it was and see what happens. A lot of TRT is experimenting with what works for you. Its not as fun as I imagined it being. I'm 43 and been a gym rat for 27 yrs. Never could get very lean and always wondered what it would be like to have a little more juice in the system. Since this virus has all the gyms closed I'm kinda excited to get back to it to see what the results will be. I hope its worth it. My test total before starting TRT was 186. Really low for my age.

TRT is not magic by any means, unfortunately, but it should makes you feel a little better, it can take awhile to find the right protocol that works best for you though.

I’m doing 1 shot a week of 200mg sub q and 1mg anastozol on injection day. I just started up again so I haven’t done any bloods yet but I feel fine. I’m close to the same age as you and have been training and competing since my teen’s and have no plans on slowing down.
