My 2 year TRT experience and a big THANK YOU! to this board

[Metalman69]

My first post here, been lurking a LONG time and gathering as much info as I can. I just wanted to finally join and say THANK YOU to all the members who post here, it was this board (and the ALL CAP RANTINGS of a previous sponser) that finally got me to check my test levels. I suffered a sub arachnoid brain hemorrhage in 2010 that left me in pretty bad shape, but I'm thankful to have all my motor skills and speech back, about a miserable year later I found this board and had my T tested and was in the 100's (at 41 yrs old).
Now on Test Cyp. injections 125 mg every 6 days, no hcg (no more kids!), and feeling as normal as I can considering the situation. Have a few long term effects from my illness but am dealing with those.
Now can I ask a question? My estradiol always seems to be on the high end of normal when my test level is right in middle of range on all my blood tests. Doc says its OK because its in range, but I believe that since I get my bloods drawn morning before shot and Test would be about half of peak level, doesn't that mean that my Estro would be about half of peak level also and therefore really high for several days of the week? Just asking because I think the high Estro might be holding me back in terms of fat loss and another unwanted (read too many posts about "morning wood") side effect.
Sorry so long, any input would be appreciated!

Only way to know for sure is to check you estradiol level when your TT is at its peak as well. So about 48 hours after you inject. Let me know if you don't know about Private MD - Buy Lab Tests Online and the Hormone Panel for Females along with the sensitive estradiol assay.

I will do that, have got all my tests so far through my Endo so I am careful cause I don't wanna test too high, she is real picky and "by the book". There was a Labcorp close to me but it closed, just checked and there is one about 45 minutes away. Thanks.
Can I ask a pro-hormone question on this forum (since it is a legal supplement and I am on TRT) or should I go to the pro hormone or anabolic steroid forum?
Thanks.

This is a great way to check your numbers before getting your official ones taken. They are fast, cheap and easy too.

I think you can ask your question. If nobody knows the answer you could try the prohormone forum next.
