question from a user
I'm on 100mg Test E a week. Split into 2 injections. My estradiol is 50 which is slightly over reference. I feel a little emotional at times and have pretty greasy skin and some face acne. I'm trying to lose weight and taking DIM 350mg/day. Is this level something you'd be worried about and are there any other ways I can control it other than AI.

If you're having high Estrogen symptoms at 100mg a week then you're probably sensitive to Estrogen. You may need an AI if you increase in dose because of this, if only a low dose AI.
That said, if you're not already switch to subcutaneous injections. You absorb these slower and thus have less T spikes which is what prompts more Estrogen conversion. You can also switch to 3 times weekly injections dose split 3 ways for the same logic. I'd try those first if your goal is to avoid an AI.
