Thyroid and TRT

[tlow2013]

Thanks for all the replies, I get bloodwork on Friday to check my T levels before a follow up with my Urologist next Tuesday. 2 weeks after that I see an Endo. After the Endo I am going to try to split my shot up in to once every 3.5 days and see how it works out! Also I did leave out that Anxiety has been an issue whenever I'm in a excited or stressed situation, which was an issue for me before I started TRT and the first couple of months on TRT it went away and now it is back. I don't have panic attacks or feel like I'm gonna black out but I do feel very anxious. Also I do feel like I'm hot an awful lot, I start to sweat from doing the smallest things. I guess I should keep a log of my temperature every day.

Best of luck with your doctor appointments! I too was a sweating mess when I first started TRT as my metabolism had been ridiculously sluggish for a very long time and was "kicked into high gear" once those androgens started to do their thing. Anxiety can be caused by a ton of factors, low-T happened to be mine. Please keep us updated if you get to the root of things and find out what's going on.

Just got my latest T results back, Total t is 590! He did give me a script to get my estradiol tested again whenever I wanted to. What is the best day after my injection to get estradiol tested? He also gave me the go ahead to start injecting once every 3.5 days. He's scratching his head at this point and hopes that the Endo I see in September can shed some light on why I'm still feeling like garbage. I'll give it to him for not having an ego and admitting that he is at a loss and it is beyond his realm as a urologist! I'm going to to do the 200MG this next injection and then getting my estradiol tested to see what it is at at peak with that dose then I will switch to the twice a week!

So any input on when a good test time for estradiol is, would be greatly appreciated!

I like to get peak and trough estradiol measured.

I like to get peak and trough estradiol measured.

Well I got trough already so whenwould be the best peak time 48 or 72 hours

If you are injecting ever 3.5 days, I would try to get checked about 24-36 hours after your injection. It is tougher to do peak and trough on the 3.5 day injection schedule since the whole idea is to level you out.

I got my peak Estradiol at 36 hours after my weekly 200MG injection and it came back at 69.7 in a range of 10-30....so yup it's an issue, now I'm doing 100 every 3.5 days so we'll see where it comes back then. He's also checking my SHBG because it was never checked and my DHT level along with Thyroid! At least I'm on the right track now...I'm a little more optimistic!

Well some of the bloodwork came back. Hemoglobin is a bit over range, and my thyroid function is normal! He is talking about lowering my dosage, but I've also never donated blood so I'm going to talk to him about that first.
