Night sweating & TRT, any connection?

I'm asking this here as I've noticed they go away for a few days after my injection, and then come back.

I've had them for a few years and when I started TRT they stopped briefly. This makes me think that they are related to test or E2 levels or something. I did a bit of searching and didn't find anything that would apply to my situation.

Have any of you guys had this happen?
 
Yup.. I've been running hotter ever since I started trt


I had to go on vacation recently couldn't take my script injected 300mg once to last two weeks and I was sweating like a pig at nights

Yeah, I get what you are saying. This shit started when I was overseas and I just wrote it off as being stress related. Then I came home and it got worse. I even went to a shrink at one point...he gave me trazadone (I think), but that didn't help anything.

The thing that I've noticed lately is the regularity that the shit comes on. After my weekly injection it goes away, then a few days later it comes back.

I'm not taking any AI so the E levels may be the culprit. I got bloodwork done Thursday and they lost my blood or some shit. Then they found it late Friday and said I would have results tomorrow. I will post them up here because I'm pretty new to this.
 
Stupid question: Is estradiol the same as estrogen?

I had kind of a hectic work day today and didn't make it to the doctor to pick up a copy of my test results. He did tell me over the phone that TT was 550 and "estrogen" was 23, which he said was good. I asked about E2 since I couldn't remember the name "estradiol", he sounded confused like I was not speaking English or something.

ETA: Never mind. I really need to use google more often.

Two different things. Estrogen is useless as an indicator for men, E2 or Estradiol is what you want to monitor.

It is an estrogenic hormone, C18-H24-O2. Estrogen is actually a blanket statement which covers six different estrogenic hormones...but when talking about the hormones the only one you care about is estradiol, or E2, since none of the others matter to a man. So, in this case, simply saying estrogen will get you a work up of all six (which matters to women) and estradiol will get you just the E2 test.

Yes, thanks. I'm learning. It was in fact Estradiol that they checked. The doc was just calling it estrogen.

I asked doc about the sweating and he said he didn't have any ideas since my "estrogen" levels were good. He did offer to let me up the dosage, so we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping if the 100mg injection does away with this shit for a few days, that maybe the 200mg will get rid of it all together.

OP, are you splitting your weekly dosage up into two separate injections? I started doing this a couple months ago (100mg every 3.5 days) and found that I need less Adex to control my E2 than I did when I was only on 160mg with a single weekly injection. By splitting up your dosage you will find that you avoid the spike and crash from a single large injection and my night sweats went away completely.

Best of luck to you!
 
I asked about twice a week injections and got about the same reaction as when I asked about the AI. I guess I'll just have to wait and get the bloodwork done in a few weeks and go from there.

He's also wanting to give me a 400mg "booster" in addition to the regular injection on Thursday so I think I'll know quickly if additional test hurts or helps with the nigh sweats.

As you may have gathered, doc hasn't instilled confidence in me that he really knows what he's doing. He is willing to give me as much test as I want though so I could have done worse. I'll just have to take the testing and (maybe) AI upon myself.

Don't be going crazy with the Test man....too much increases HB.
 
I'm glad you mentioned that, I completely forgot to ask about Hb levels yesterday. I've always had high BP, so the last thing I need to combine that with is high Hb.
 
Your test is too low bro. And slap your doctor. Are you financialy able to get new doc if so do. It is the ratio of e to t that is important. If you test was 1400 the 20 would be good.

Also twice a week injections is better.

I'd settle for levels like that if it was Androgel and I was in a jam and they would not prescribe more.
I wouldn't jab myself for life and have T levels like that.

"Alopathic"???
That's mainstream medicine/homeopathy, correct?
