I see you took masteron along with your testosterone. I would stop taking that immediately and stick with a reasonable dose of testosterone, say 100-120mg/week. I would also keep taking the HCG. Some guys don't do well on testosterone without HCG. You really need to get labwork done...

I am in the same boat as @Burritosnstuff and consedring stopping everything right now. My question is did you stop everything cold turkey or pct? I scared to do pct since I am already having low e2 sides and wouldn't want to play with serm which blocks e2 receptors. At this point I don't know...

Hi all. I am from India, and posting here since I really need your all help. I am 26 y/o, and a survivor of pfs but had almost recovered to baseline except for some erectile issues/ mild tinnitus/ mild anhedonia before starting my testosterone usage. Long story short. I used testosterone for gym...

TL;DR: Long PFS history since Nov 2023 (fin crash → partial recovery on TRT for over a year, doing well). In June 2026 added anastrozole (3-4 doses over ~3 weeks) to a 300mg test + masterone protocol → crushed my E2. Dropped test dose from 200mg to 100mg/week in July to try to fix the T:E2 gap...

Have you tried the basics like viagra? Test boosters are well known for having things not listed on the label like viagra and clomid. Clomid in combination with an AI seems like an even riskier proposition than just the AI. There are other threads here that talk about crashed estrogen symptoms...

A rather interesting case for the argument of receptor damage/silencing when using Anastrozole Starting in December 2025 I began a 160mg TRT weekly protocol that has HCG 250mg monday wednesday friday however the clinic had closed for approximately two weeks. I ended up taking a test booster...

...some cycles when I was younger I am 51 now - and every single time I introduced any androgens I would instantly get bloat face - even with crashed e2 on labs - still effecting me. and my p4 would always crash. Right now im sitting with zero prog in blood - but natty I was .5 always. Will...

I'd like to add my experience to an old thread. Found a lot about Prog - I've been on trt for 6 years battled face bloat constantly. no matter the dose, no matter the e2 range, if I drop HCG I feel less water but my joints start to hurt - get constipated and overall feel blah. So I read about...

A practical guide for men whose ferritin runs low while hemoglobin and hematocrit sit at the high end of normal. This combines discussion from the ExcelMale community with the underlying clinical research. 1. Why Ferritin Runs Low on TRT Two mechanisms drive ferritin down, and both come...

There's much I agree with again here: the minimal effective dose philosophy (in theory, though I haven't always followed it in practice), the concept of balance or finding an optimal point between extremes, and the idea that high E2 can be problematic. However, the word "catastrophic" was used...

Excellent topic and greatly appreciate your constructive approach! Not a lot of time to reply at the moment. So, I will concentrate on E2 (Estradiol) thoughts... Estradiol is a vital component of both men and women's health. I 100% agree with minimal “effective” dose approach with any...

Thx! Good info, (I'm def not the expert) and I agree with all of that. IDK how many Physicians and PA's Defy has. But, as you eluded to, this particular one seems to be out in left field. OP seems to be MIA now. So, we may never know. My $$ is on a great honeymoon, followed by many...

Maybe, but you don't need to reach single digits of e2 in serum to crash estrogen in your CNS. Yes

For me personally, when I would awaken at an unusual time (i.e. 3am) for a few days, it would typically be accompanied by Slight anxiety, (anxious thought patterns) and also night sweats or at least abnormally Hot feeling. (Of course, these same symptoms "Can" come from other influences... Like...

My TRT clinic was closed approx two weeks so I wasn’t getting any injections. On 6/9 I took a supplement called EVL test before bed that had the ingredients above. Woke up and took .25 anastrozole I took this because the supplement had d aspartic acid and had concerns about high e2 I lost...

I've been on a Dr prescribed TRT for over 10yrs and have learned A LOT. (mostly, the hard way...) First off, you will not find a Doctor ok with you on UGL... But, for your sake, health and to conclusively come to ANY conclusion, you'll need a product you can absolutely depend on the quality and...

Hello guys so recently I got my estrogen sensitive test back and it was 5 Side effect been sleep is trash no amount supplements such as melatonin or magnesium helping at all brain fog feeling tired over all And tbh I had gotten my estrogen back up and I noticed those side effects never went...

I have been on TRT since mid-November and its been a rollercoaster. My first round was with my GP who prescribed 100mg 1X per week and my TT went from 363 to 724, FT went from 3.6 to 14 total estradiol went from 71 to 133. He prescribed Anastrazole 1mg every other day and CDG 1000mg per day...

How are you doing now? How's are you keeping your ferritin up ? I crashed my ferritin from donating probably close to zero and on day 2 of the vorck protocol. Thanks

...Damage thread): "I went through my sweet spot and down to 12 pg/mL on only 0.125 mg. That is almost a tenth of a milligram." Member (Crashed E2 thread): "I personally crashed my E2 two times. Recovery from it is very painful and long. To recover from the first crash it took me not less than...

Curated By Nelson Vergel | ExcelMale.com | Updated April 2026 Water retention, nipple tenderness, and mood swings are the estrogen-related TRT side effects most men reach for anastrozole to control, though lowering or splitting the testosterone dose often settles them without a drug. Key...

similar thing happened to me - on low dose HCG - essentially all I got was e2 from it - and a round face. Bolus doses with more space between sometimes 2 x a week sometimes 3 if im really feeling I need it. Do way way better both lab wise, and feeling wise - than small daily doses. Low daily...

Sorry for the long trainwreck of a post but I have never been so scared in my life as I’ve been the last 2mos. Before that I’d say I barely ever had anxiety at all, about anything. I’m usually the one who likes taking risks and is always level-headed and calm/confident. I think I’ve been messing...

Hot flashes and night sweats—collectively known as vasomotor symptoms (VMS)—are among the most disruptive yet frequently overlooked side effects experienced by men with low testosterone or those on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). While most men associate hot flashes with menopause in...

Long story short, I just turned 30, decided the best plan of action is to stop and retest later on after PCT, because I’m getting frustrated, do you agree or is it a moot point? And I should do it right this time, without using hcg and proviron AFTER my PCT is over, like i stupidly did in the...

man i get why you’re looking around, firefighter schedule alone can make you feel like you’re running on fumes even if you’re doing “all the right things” just based on what you posted, i don’t see some obvious “you’re crashed and need a big dose asap” situation. total t at 423 isn’t amazing...

I have similar experience with subq as well, I noticed that my T:E2 and DHT:E2 ratio gets skewed towards in favor of estrogen. I think it is because of local estrase activity. Estrase enzymes are available in other tissues of body not just blood, and it could be that since the depot of...

...and posting on the ExcelMale forum—particularly those using it without proper monitoring—is excessively suppressed estradiol. This "crashed E2" syndrome can be remarkably unpleasant and potentially dangerous: Men with estradiol below 10 pg/mL often experience severe symptoms: profound...

This all actually looks really good, except your hematocrit. Generally 54% is considered at risk for hyperviscosity and associated clots. Your E2 is only high because your T is high. The ratio of T:E in your case is 13.5, which is pretty optimal. I don't think these labs explain the low...
