Doctor does not want to Prescibe an AI

find another place for the ADEX....
If you are staying at 100 mg...u could go less than the standard low dose of 0.25 mg....
I would go 0.125 mg EOD made by a compounding pharmacy...
might cost you 10-15 bucks more per refill but you are not taking as much ADEX...
something to think about.

That was in the post you quoted. I had my weekly shot on the previous Friday.

I had it in the evening before bed and I had the test mid day on Monday so it was roughly 60 hours or two and a half days.



Thank you very much for your input everyone I greatly appreciate. Sounds like getting the dose down a little is not the end of the world and if it lowers the Estradiol then I could certainly feel better with that then with 100mg. Switching to twice weekly Subq or IM shots sounds like a good idea but the doctor has already had some resistance from me so I will follow through wiht her 80mg a week for now.

I did submit a free consult request form for IncreaseMyT because I really do wish she was more receptive on issues like taking HCG.

Day 3 (48 hours after Shot) is when T peaks...keep in mind

Yes she always wants me to test on the peak then it seems. I have read elsewhere that in TRT it's good to test just before your shot to get your low point.

Yes, you should get your trough level tested for your doctor. However, for you personally, it is good to know your range. Get your peak tested as well privately. You can get labs at www.privatemdlabs.com. Get the Hormone Panel for Females (for men too). It costs about $50 and only you will see the results.

The more and more I learn about your situation with every post you make the more I am inclined to beleive that it is in your best interest to find another doctor. This is just a suggestion but this is your life, your health and your well being. I have suffered from low T for so long that I honestly forgot how good I could feel and how enjoyable life can be, now that I am getting treatment as every day passes I feel better and better and it has done wonders for my quality of life!

Best of luck to you, please keep us informed.
