Is there a percentage reduction that is normal for TRT?

The place I go specializes in testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and is a vitality clinic. My guess is that they want the $$$ from doing the injects. Given the potential down sides if the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is not administered properly, I opted for clinic. However, given...

Thanks for the input. I asked about splitting the test cyp to 2x per week and was told that was not an option. They do the injections with no option ( using them) to self- inject.

52 yr old 200 lb 5'10" Started test cyp late march after first lab First lab 3/22 Total test 293 (348-1197 ng/dL) E2 not measured 4/24 different lab from first test Total test 535 (241-827 ng/dL) E2 33 ( < or = 39 pg/ml) 5/2 same lab as 3/22 Total test 1037 (348-1197) E2 44.2 (7.6-42.6...

I don't mean to high jack the thread... But it was 33 pg/ml range <39. This was taken 3rd week of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) by PCP. Had blood work 3 days ago by men's health clinic and waiting for results. I am concerned since my nipples are itchy since the last pin. On 180 of...

Similar comment to mptrz. I'm 52, 5' 10". 6 years ago was 230lb with body fat all over. Started to see a drop in erections, etc. worked out and focused on weight loss. Got down to 185 in 3 years. Problems with libido was becoming more an issue. Started losing strength fast. Arms shrank. Went...

I'm no Dr but what you described has many characteristics of Celaic. I can't comment on liver enzymes. Try cutting back on gluten and see if there is a change. It is a simple test...tough to stick with.

Yes. Do you food with gluten? Ever tried gluten free diet. Celiac diease can cause stools to be yellow.

What is "letro"? How did you know the dose? I'm new to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and in my 4th week...thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply. The original blood work did have the hematocrit and hemoglobin. But not E. I asked why they are tapering the dosage and they replied that this is the protocol they follow. When I asked why not a baseline for e the reply was that they tend to use empirical data to...

Background... 52yr old, total t 298, usual symptoms of low T. I'm 4 weeks into TRT. I've had 3 injections. 210mg, 200mg, 180mg. First two were 7 days apart. Due to travel, the 3rd was 12 days after the 2nd. The men's health facility did not test for E levels on the first blood test and they do...

Schweddy, how old are u? Alcohol is a toxin and your ability to process it diminishes with age. If you're younger, I.e under 50 and in a fog with little alcohol. Have you had a recent check on kidney function? I'm 52 and in the last two years have seen a change in my ability to metabolize...

I just started on TRT. I'm 52. Total t was 280 prior to starting. On 100 mg once a week ... Had just one injection so far. What is standard for checking E2 levels. My doc said 5 weeks.

This thread was an eye opener. I'm 52. Last week total T level was 280. Blood draw was 8am. Had first injection ever last week. Now concerned given this thread. Sounds like I jumped on to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) too fast.

Tired, low energy. Difficult to keep erection. Long recovery after hard work out / wiped out too. Noticed this started 6 years ago and finally got to the point that I had my T check last year as part of normal check up. 310. PCP would not do anything. Waited some more. Last week was 280. Test...
