TRT - my update on my progress....bloodwork included

[Stay_With_It]

Hello everyone... im working with IMT and am getting dialed in with my TRT dose. currrently at 200mg/week .5mg adex/week 500iu hcg week...i did a blood draw approx 8 hours before my next injection... here are my results..everything came back normal except what i have stated...

Test total 1430 range 348-1197
Lh 0.2 range 1.7-8.6
Fsh 0.2 range 1.5-12.4
Estradiol 68.3 range 7.6-42.6

any suggestions? im thinking of raising the adex by .25mg week so a total of .75mg adex/week.... advice appreciated

Too much test. Lower that dose, get down to the top of the normal range and perhaps you'll not need more Adex.

Are you injecting once or twice a week?

Your goal should be the least amount of test and Adex to put you where you want on the range. Most guys prefer the upper range. You are over.

I'm sure IMT will have suggestions, but I'd try 75mg/2x/wk. my guess is that'd put you at the top of the range and lower your e levels. You may or may not have to increase your Adex, although it does seem you aromatize readily.

E levels pre injections?
Approx body fat?

agree with Gaijin - 1430 is your trough, too high for TRT.

What is your weight / height and BF%? In general, the bigger you are the more Cyp you need. The higher your body fat the higher your E2 will be as test is converted to estro by fat.

thanks for your reply...i inject 2x week 100mg each shot. i thought i was a bit on the high range and i aromatize easily i believe.im thinking of dropping my test dose to 160mg/week and keep the adex at .25 2x week... when should i go back for more bloodwork? my approx bf is 12-14 i have abs so it could be lower, not too sure. i would need to get checked out to know my bf exactly....thanks man!
