Thanks. Could you recommend that since I'm splitting my dose into 2 times a week should I keep it at 50mg per dose or shoud I increase my doesage to 60mg or 80mg with regards to the levels my peak and trough are at? Unfortunately Drs around here seem to throw darts and hope they stick. At...

Ok, I just got my trough levels back and my Dr approved me to increase my weekly T dosage. Here is my question. At 100mg 1 time a week, Peak level 48 after shot was 941 Trough level just before shot was 554. Which makes sence cause the last 3-4 days always sucked. The Dr has approved me to...

I agree, but for some some reason Drs around here think that injecting once a week is fine (I think if I didn't push it, they would have me on every other week). I'm trying to follow what he is saying at least through the "stabilizing" time so that I don't mess with the numbers (and make him...

This has probably been asked a million times, I just want to know when is the best time to take the Aromatase inhibitor (AI). I'm taking 100mg test cyp on Wednesday, and the dr told me to take .5 mg anastrozole on the same day I take the injection. I realize Test peaks 48hrs after and Aromatase...

Mega, Thanks so much...That info was great. I noticed yesterday my joints ached and my knees popped and a few other joints popped a few times. I think I read someplace that Low E can cause that... is that right? Thanks again C

Megatron, Thanks, I undeerstand that blood tests are the way to have my levels checked. I can ask my Dr to check them again. I think He will. I was just wondering if there was a way to "tell" in between blood tests. I have had all of those problems with my level at 40. That is why the Dr...

Fortunately, it didn't take any coaxing for my new dr to do the e test. He was right on it, and said that e testing must be done during testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). He says he sees about half of his patients need some sort of E control. I only took the anti depressants for about 3...

Megatron, Thanks for the reply, here are the estrgen level issues I have: * Depression (thats what the dr is convinced I need treatment for) * Anxiety (worsened by low self esteem which is very un normal for me) * Panic Attacks (I never panic, until now) * Dizziness/Vertigo * Trouble...

Hi All, OK, I'm nearly 7 monthes into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and still not happy with results. 44yrs 6' 180 lbs and 294 test (tested in January). Admittedly the first 5 months were badly botched by 2 GP's and a Urologist. My first GP said 294 was in the "normal" range, and did...

OK I'll switch to 1/4 x 4 per week. I'll take one the day after the shot, and the next the day after. Does that sound right? Any comments on going to 80 mg two times a week (with the levels I posted). Should i just go to 60 mg two times a week? Seems most guys do best around 800. Will going to...

Yah, it sucks big time, and the worst part is most people don't understand what it is doing inside to you. I think I am beginning to move through it though. I still have more bad days than good, but the bad days now are much better than the good days 6 months ago. You didn't mention it, but I...

I hear exactly what youre saying, anxiety and self confidence are the biggest thing that have gotten a wack from my low T. As my T increases it seems my anxiety is slowly regressing. The problem is that I had 2 Dr's that didn't kow what they were doing and made what should have been a 3 to 6...

Hi all, I posted this in a previous thread but I think it got buried. But here are my levels that came back. Any input is appreciated. Here they are: Taken 6/1/13 test total = 605 ng/dL *** 291-739 (739 for the high seems low) t3 Free = 3.8 pg/mL *** 2.3 - 4.2 t4 Free = 1.2 ng/dL ***...

Sorry, Here they are: test total = 605 ng/dL *** 291-739 (739 seems low) t3 Free = 3.8 pg/mL *** 2.3 - 4.2 t4 Free = 1.2 ng/dL *** 0.7 - 1.5 Then there are some LH and FSH numbers with a bunch of Tanner stages (should I post them?) Prolactin = 6.4 ng/mL *** 1.6 - 18.8...

OK, I just got all of the test lab results emailed to me here is what I got: I'm not sure what everything means so, I'll just post what I see Test total = 605 ng/dL t3 Free = 3.8 pg/mL t4 Free = 1.2 ng/dL Then there are some LH and FSH numbers with a bunch of Tanner stages (should I post...
