Hey guys, I had a quick question. I have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for about 2.5 months now. Started out at 200mg every 2 weeks , that wasn't working, the second week was awful. I talked to my doc, and am now at 200mg every week.. I am on test cyp. FIrst couple weeks were good. Started with 3J, was quite optomistic. I can actually remember driving to work yesterday thinking to myself, "i really do feel good". Well woke up today and I think the wheels fell off. Bitchy all day, no energy, don't feel like doing anything, no appetite. Then to top it off, took measurments for 3J, and my chest is an inch bigger in a week. Not happy. Went down to my doctors office and made asked him to send me for estrogen tests. Got the blood taken and will find out next week what the levels are.

Anybody got any ideas?
I feel like I did Before I found out my test levlels were basically non existant.

Thanks

100 mg twice a week (2 shots per week). 200mg once a week doesnt work it wears off too fast. add adex is need be. monitor e2 keep it under 30. monitor shbg keep it under 15. voila.

Thanks. You guys are great. Wish I could just sign up, but unfortunately not an option

Thanks again

Do you think the extra "chest" area will go away once E2 levels are dialed in?

If it's gyno yes. If it's fat youll need to work it off. Gyno is typically hard, sensitive to touch.

Well I got my results back today. Not sure how to read them so I'll post them.

DHEAS. 6.1 umol/L. Ref. Range <14

Estradiol. 173. Pmol/L. Ref. Range <200

Any help is appreciated. They said they are normal.

Thanks

Maybe somebody can verify my conversion here. I think Estradiol. 173 Pmol/L / 3.671 = 47 pg/ml I think the target should be under 30, say 20-30. with say 23 or 24 being perfect. I really don't know, but I gather this from reading.

I had a similar thing happen except i was only on 100mg once a week, I felt really good for two days, then by the 3rd day someone hit me with a sledgehammer. blood test came back and i was only at 560, doc upped me to 100mg x 2 week I feel way better.

So I was able to sneak in and see my doc. today. Explained that even though I was still in the normal range with my E2, it was high, and if I was going through all the rest of the treatment, I didn't think it was unreasonable to want this in the "optimum" range. He was reluctant to put me on Arimedex, and instead opted for clomodin ( I think I spelled it right). Anyway, I have tried to read what I could and from what I am seeing, it is more of a natural test booster than an E blocker. I think. Am I right? Sorry guys, still pretty new at all this. I really do appreciate any help you guys can give me. And a BIG THANKS to all the help so far.

I think Maximus should start up a Canadian office!!

You mean this?

I think so. I won't actually pick it up until tomorrow and I dropped my prescription off already. My pharmacy didn't have it and were bringing it in. It's an oral I guess as well
