Hey Guys,
Been following this board for what feels like forever. Finally stepped up and got my testosterone tested and i was a castrated 187. Thanks to the advice of this board I've been working with IMT and they're fantastic (so thanks)! Been feeling like a whole new man, I'm 11 weeks in and just got my first round of bloods. Last few weeks haven't felt quite as good week 6-8 (but still infinitely better than before trt). Would love some guidance based on the stats below as I hold the members of this forum in very high regard.
Dosage - 200Mg Test Cyp/ week - shot on Wednesday, HCG 50iu Sat and Mon, no AI at the moment, 11 weeks in
Stats - 36years old, 174lbs ~12.5% bodyfat (calipers), eat clean, lift heavy, cardio 4x per week.
Feeling - WAY better. Energy, libido, positive attitude is all fantastic (though slowly degrading from weeks 6-8 which felt amazing)
Bloodwork - done on Monday as instructed (test shot Wednesday am), HCG on Sat morning, did NOT take HCG before Monday's bloodwork. I have attached some screenshots of the bloodwork (took the female test from private md as many others have mentioned but used male reference range). View attachment 563925View attachment 563926
Comments - Donating blood this week (and regularly after this) to keep Hematocrit in check, Sunday is "cheat day" so the high glucose makes sense though i was fasting, i take creatine and i'm assuming that's why that is high.
Questions - IN YOUR OPINION - Would splitting my T dose to 2x / week help to lower and manage Estradiol to within more optimal ranges? I have Anastrozole on hand from my prescription but from what I read, if you can manage E2 without it that's best.
Really appreciate any feedback and guidance the experts have here, I've learned a ton on this site and value your opinions. BTW - if there's anyone reading this who's on the fence about TRT, i highly recommend it - call Todd @ IMT, you'll be glad you did. THANKS!
