[QUOTE="TestOneTwo, post: 188071, member: 40269"] Gents, Here my journey so far. [B]Baseline[/B] BP 120/72 TT 275 (264-916) FT 12.5 (6.8-21.5) E2, SENSITIVE 10.6 (8-35) SHBG 25.7 (16.5-55.9) HCT 45.1 (37.5-51) TRIGLYCERIDES 117 (0-149) HDL 35 (39- ?) LDL 116 (0-99) All the common low T symptoms I don't want to bore you with. [B]3 months in, T cyp only (70mg E3.5D, total 140mg/week)[/B] BP 123/71 TT 622 (264-916) FT 25.1 (6.8-21.5) E2, SENSITIVE 24.4 (8-35) SHBG 15.4 (16.5-55.9) HCT 51.7 (37.5-51) TRIGLYCERIDES 175 (0-149) HDL 37 (39- ?) LDL 117 (0-99) Better but still not great. SHBG went south. Provider insists all is great even though I made clear it’s really not yet. I said I’d rather try the 800 area so I had to suggest myself maybe to go EOD in order to increase my trough. No decrease in dose has been recommended for that which I found odd. [B]Now, 6 month later, [B]T cyp only [/B](40mg EOD, total 140mg/week)[/B] BP 124/73 TT 1180 (264-916) FT 35.5 (6.8-21.5) E2, SENSITIVE 48.5 (8-35) SHBG 32.5 (16.5-55.9) HCT 54.4 (37.5-51) TRIGLYCERIDES 90 (0-149) HDL 42 (39- ?) LDL 156 (0-99) Feeling best so far. I realize I have to lower my HCT by donation/phlebotomy soonish and by lowering the T dose by say 10% and see how it goes. I don’t mind my E2 though. I don’t suffer under any high E2 symptoms yet my provider strongly insists that my E2 of 48.5 is way too high for a man and is not listening to me at all.
