ok, update - think we figured it out. I was on a blood pressure med called coreg (lowest dosage possible) for 2+ years. It turns out this damn thing has caused all my grief. I was only taking because I had one episode of afib that put me in the hospital. My heart is normal and healthy from...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I had typo from earlier post (I just corrected it). I never took .5 adex, I took .25 I thought the same thing though, maybe over the few weeks I did crush my E2 even with the .25mg. I feel so bad right now I have to fight myself from trying to take it again until I...

all labs - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xPYgBhKWJVM-lZtCF-zUAjeYFNJ7WuXoSkcRiGz7sNQ/edit?usp=sharing After starting injections - Test finally went up. I have been on TD gel/creams for years and never broke 400. Total Testosterone - 733 ng/dL E2 - went from 14 to 36 (pg/mL) (range -...

I am losing faith in trt. Feel like I am not doing anything. still taking 50mg Test-C E3D subq. Taking 2.5mg HC in morning. Tried adex for a few weeks. I took .25mg every 3-4 days. Made my lower back hurt like hell. Stopped the adex and the pain went away. Now my knees just hurt like mad. I...

So strange thing is my joints have stopped hurting as bad, but have been been bloated to hell. Every time I eat my stomach swells up. Also anxiety has been ramping up. Can E2 going from 14 to 36 (pg/mL) (range - 7.63 - 42.6) cause high E2 symptoms? Took the first yesterday .25 armidex and...

Labs came back. I called him and told him whats up and couldn't wait any longer to get labs. He was cool and said no worries. Good news is the injections are working from what the numbers show. But not by how I feel. These labs are 5 weeks into TRT. Main complaints are joint pain, aches...

Is it possible to increase testosterone while at the same time dropping estrogen without using AI? I ask because the symptoms point to lower estrogen?

I goofed up. I meant to say 100mg a week divided E3D.

I should add, I don't really think my doc is out to screw me. He spends 45min to hour on our visits going over labs and symptoms. So far he has never balked at any request of mine and is extremely open to any suggestions. I am just not sure he is agressive enough being objective with bloodwork...

Thanks for the replies. I was told how to apply gel correctly. Did compound gel/cream from local pharm for 1 month (felt no difference) then tried axiron under arm pit (I shave my pits & figured easy to apply there without messing that up). My blood levels actually dropped from 310 (on no trt...

Was on gels, but my numbers dropped even lower. Doc said lets go injections route. Numbers after couple of months of gel and before injections. DHEA: 388 (range 110-370 mcg/dL) Total T: 230 (range 250-1100 ng/dL) Free T: 49.30 (range 35.0-155.0 pg/mL) FSH: 2.4 (range 1.6-8.0 mIU/mL) LH: 1.5...

Have used everything but gels since 2007, levels never went up. been on axiron gel for 6 weeks.

38/195lbs/ and 5'11. I have been as low as 222 with Total T back in 2007. My numbers never went up much throughout the years and never felt any better except for my recent experience with Axiron. Got some really encouraging signs from Axiron. Didn't work at full dose (major anxiety), but I...

36 y/o. I have low T with results near 200. Allergic to soy I have been put on androgel 3 years ago, after taking it I got REAL sleepy and also had GI problems. Found out it is derived from soy. fast forward a year, put on compounded cream to get around the soy issue, but didn't raise my...
