Can too high of an estradiol level impede progress?

I have always wondered this?  I know SHBG binds sex hormones such as DHT, and Testosterone but how much does SHBG bind estradiol?  Just like we have free testosterone we have free estradiol levels.

I had poor breast development on very high levels with injections and much better results on oral and gel where levels were lower, and this despite even adding some T to the mix. BUT, I think the reason for poor breast development on injections might be due to levels falling to rapidly whereas with oral/gel, they remained more constant. Who knows?
I am not a medical doctor, nor a scientist - opinions expressed by me on the subject of HRT are merely based on my own review of some of the scientific literature over the last decade or so, on anecdotal evidence from women in various discussion forums that I have come across, and my personal experience

On HRT since early 2004
Post-op since late 2005
