[QUOTE="JNole, post: 14609, member: 2283"] Hi Guys - first of all, I really appreciate this great forum & site. It has certainly educated me on TRT while opening my eyes regarding different protocols and treatment. Also entertaining sometimes! I am 54 years old and began TRT in April 2014. I have been a consistent non-competitive body builder and fitness guy for 39 years now. I am 5'11" 194 lbs and have less than 10% body fat. I am seeing a physician who has specialized in HRT for 20+ years. I finally took the step to TRT after experiencing brain fog, decreased muscle mass, increasing aches, hot flashes and joint pain for probably 4 years prior to my treatment. Pre-TRT blood results from Doc: Total Testosterone 273 (300-890 ng/dl) Testosterone, Free 49.6 (47-244 pg/ml) SHBG 37 (13-71 nmol/ml) Estradiol (NON-sensitive) 19.6 (0-39 pg/ml) Prescribed Protocol After Above Results, April 2014 from Doc: 150 mg Test Cyp e7 days (inject subQ Thursday AM) CLOMID, 51 MG M-W-F 6 Week Blood Results After Beginning Protocol from Doc: Total Testosterone. 1231 (300-890 ng/dl) *Blood drawn 1 day after injection Testosterone, Free 269 (47-244 pg/ml) Estradiol (NON-sensitive). 42 H (0-39 pg/ml) Doc does not want to just yet to prescribe AI 3 Month Blood Results from Doc: Total Testosterone. 1073 (300-890 ng/dl) *Blood drawn mid-week after Thurs injection Testosterone, Free 209 (47-244 pg/ml) SHBG 48 (13-71 nmol/ml) Estradiol (NON-sensitive) 43 (0-39 pg/ml) Doc prescribes Anastrozole, .25 MG twice per week About this time, I learn how powerful Anastrozole can be depending on the individual but follow protocol for this. After 4-6 weeks following this, I begin to feel some pre-TRT symptoms and I OBTAIN OWN BLOOD TEST from LabCorp with the following results: Total Testosterone. 736 (348-1197 ng/dl) **Blood drawn day of Test injection, prior to, and also Prior to next Anastrozole dose Testosterone, Free 9.5 (7.2-24 pg/ml) Estradiol (SENSITIVE) 21 (3-70 pg/ml) After this result, I change my Anastrozole protocol to once every 4 to 5 days for the next 4-6 weeks because of the weird symptoms I was getting on the twice per week regimen since my 21 E2 result was the day before I was supposed to take my next Anastrozole dose. Test results FROM DOC after the above 4-6 weeks of my personal change with Anastrozole dose: Total Testosterone 1106 (300-890 ng/dl) *Blood drawn mid-week Testosterone, Free 257 (47-244 pg/ml) Estradiol (NON-SENSITIVE) 36 (0-39 pg/ml) After learning about how the non-sensitive E2 test could be 10-20 pg/ml's over actual E2 levels, I decided to take my Anastrozole on the day after my Thursday injection, once per week. FINALLY, after 4-6 weeks of my latest day after injection taking one .25 MG capsule of Anastrozole, I just obtained the following blood test results FROM DISCOUNTED LABS/DEFY/LabCorp (thanks Nelson!): Total Testosterone 1271 (348-1197 ng/dl) *Blood drawn day of and prior to Thursday injection and day before Anastrozole dose Testosterone, Free. 20 (7.2-24 pg/ml) Estradiol (SENSITIVE) 41 (8-35 pg/ml) *I am now not sure how to dose my Anastrozole. In addition, I am wondering if I should lower my Test Cyp dose since I seem to be a little high and to also lower E2 but I am not sure how much to lower by. Suggestions, comments, etc. are appreciated! Thank you. [/QUOTE]
