I'm having trouble dialing in my TRT and I'm hoping I can get some feedback from the community as to what I'm doing wrong. I've been off and on TRT with the same protocol for 3 years. I came off twice to get my fertility back, but have been on the same protocol with no change for over a year now. Blood work was taken at the same time and day of the week - Wednesday morning. I've been breaking out with acme and been super moody and bloated lately (obviously from the high E2). Doc wants to wait 6 weeks and test again before giving me something to control the estrogen. Thoughts?
