Post testicular atrophy caused by high E2: help!

Hi Guys,
Just got back from my follow up with my doc. I was on 250mg T enanthate every 14 days for about 4 months now... I never used AAS. I have ideopathic hypogonadism. Had this since puberty.

Here are a few of my labs:
E2: 39 (optimal = 27)
Total T: 9,22nmol/l = 266 ng/dl (ref 320-1000 ng/dl)
Free T: 149,1 (don't know the referance range here)
Androstanediol gluc: 22,3 (what's this?)
DHEA: 332

I did get testicular atrophy. My doc also said I had a mild gynecomastia. I have had this since puberty and it didn't get worse. Yep: I have had tits all my life...luckily it's a small A cup. .. I also have fat tissue on my hips.
My doc said the E2 is the cause of the gyne and the atrophy. That's a strange conclusion, don't you think? I never heard of the link between E2 and atrophy??

Also, he expected me to grow a beard and some hair on arms or chest. (I'm still a babyface at 32, and it FREAKS ME OUT ) Why does this work for Female-to-Males and not work for me??? You cannot believe what a social handicap this is...

He has now put me on 250 mg T enanthate every 10(!) days and 1/4 Arimidex every 3 days. What do you guys think? He also thought of putting me on 250 mg T enathate every 10 days, with small doses of HCG every 3 days...but for this he wanted to wait until my LH results came in... It looks like SWALE, but it's not exactly the same, is it....

Like to know what you all think...
