    Any other men out there in their mid/late 30's on this board?

    39, 288 before. Been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 15 months, I hover around 1,100 normally. Currently blasting so 1,500+ for 12 weeks. Balancing E2 has been an ongoing battle.

    Dr, appt Monday testosterone

    Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you suspect you truly have low T then go see your doc and be honest (recommended). If you're simply trying to get some test, then drink a bunch of booze and don't sleep the night before your bloodwork. This will lower your level.

    What Does Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) do for you?

    TRTony/SamSong, I'm no expert but I've been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 10 months. My protocol has always included Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) at 600iu 2x/wk. Once I got my E2 in range via Anastrazole at .25mg 3x/wk, this has been a pretty solid protocol. I've gone 6...

    How long have you been on TRT?

    I've been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 8 months. In that time I've drifted in and out of the "sweet spot" but have yet to get everything 100% dialed in. Considering it takes your body 4 to 6 weeks to stablize with any protocol changes, 8 months is a pretty short amount of time...

The clinic required that I see a local doctor (that works with/for the clinic) for an intitial visit and subsequent...

    DIM (Diindolylmethane) Supplement

    My original protocol called for the use of DIM at 300mg/daily. My question is, since this supplment is supposed to support the conversion of active estrogens into healthy metabolites wouldn't this be redundant if you're taking an AI? Is anyone else taking this supplement in additon to using an...

    Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) injections twice per week instead of once?

    I started with a single IM injection of 200mg/Test C once per week. After the first month I split it into 2 injections at the direction of the online clinic I was with at the time. Fast forward several months and my Total Test was 1685, Free T was 672 and Estrodiol was 70. I was prescribed...
