I'm wondering as it may have been a bogus thread. I don't see why it's such a sensitive issue.

I just noticed the original poster has been banned. Any reason for this?

What was the Adex dosage/protocol? I'm wondering a higher T dosage needs to be matched with a higher Adex dosage.

Yes, I get the half lives. I've a spreadsheet to track the total unesterfied T on any given day. For cypionate I use 7 days for SQ administration. Thanks

Not really - hence my question. I understand there is a ester deposit which breaks down and releases testosterone into the bloodstream, and that this deposit needs time to build up, or alternatively there is a added initial dose. Unless we are talking the same thing, I'm not aware of any build...

In terms of working, TRT works in just a few days. But the crash could be either E2 going up (hence the night sweats) or my own production backing off. I suspect it was the former as I once started with an initial 180mg dose followed by 60mg every 3.5 days. From memory the same thing happened...

When you say it takes time to build up in the blood stream, are you referring to the build up of the ester deposit? Which can be addressed by a larger initial dose? Or are you saying that testosterone actually builds up in the blood itself, and that this takes time?

Thanks, I'm headed off OS for a bit and will give shots another go with Arimidex when back. For now it's just 20mg cream applied on scrotum per day, and that seems fine. This is down from 75mg per day. Creams are easier for travels. It's only been three days but I feel much more energized...

I think this is the strategy the doc is trying with me as he thinks I'm a 'hyper-converter' of T to E2.

Yes, I'm considering retrying. However there is something I need to change. Previously I was on creams but it was a similar story. Feel better then worse, despite levels of 36 (or 1050). With e2 running at 146pmol/L Doc suggested injections would be better, even though I don't have an absorption...

This is after seven days about a month ago. I discontinued due to feeling worse off.

100mg pw + HCG is not an uncommon dosage. Results indicated this increased my levels.

Sorry - also HCG 500iu every 3.5 days.

No, it definitely raised my levels. I went for a blood test on day 7 to check. TT was 21.5nmol/L (620)with a free-t levels at the top end and lowish SHBG. e2 was 106 pmol/L. Night sweats I've read are due to high e2.

I'm using a low dosage of 87.5mg cypionate pw or 25mg EOD. And HCG 500 iu every 3.5 days. Everything starts of great with improved mood and energy within 3 days, but after that the situation deteriorates. I'm assuming this is due to high E2, especially considering the night sweats that follow...
