Question : I started Testosterone Replacement Therapy- should my doctor have given me an estrogen blocker?
I’ve been reading up on bi-weekly testosterone injections and they seem to eventually begin turning into estrogen, is my doctor incompetent or is it not unusual that he would start me out with only testosterone?

Some people do need estrogen blockers and some do not.

Usually it is people who take massive doses to help them build muscles that need them. This is because if you have “excess t-levels” then your body will try to convert that excess into estradiol (estrogen equivalent).

If you doctor is simply trying to bring your t-levels up to normal then you should have no need for the blocker.
