I am trying to watch out for my estrogen levels currently using 250EOD HCG monotherapy,
Result are

Estradiol : 23.2 range (11.3-43.2)
( my average is always around 18)
FSH: 2.3 (1.5-12.4)
LH : 2.8. ( 1.7-8.6)
Seems like my body doesn’t like these high values and decreased these values. Although estrogen and testosterone barley up a bit.
SHBG 27.7 (14.5-38.4)
Usually I am around 30, I think I went down a bit.
FT 0.380 (0.174-0.729) up from .123


TT: 15.69 (9.9-27.8) up from 10

I want to increase to dosage to 500 but need to have a back up AI in hand arimidix is not available in the market here sold out everywhere where can I get it ? Any alternatives ?

If youre disagnosed as primary Hypogonadal, the problem being the testes there's no amount of HCG that is going to change that, HCG mono is honestly a waste of time. If you're Pituitary is the low T problem, you could have some success with a mono therapy. There is very little mono success because it just doesn't work, because of the testes.
Should not add an AI to it, the Aromatase that occurs in the testes is harder to control.
 
And beside improvements in libido I still have ED issues and libido a bit improve, workout everyday for years BMI 20 regular healthy guy yet T issues :/

They don’t know what is the problem I am one of those guys in the grey zone, test is producing testosterone as it increased from 10 to 16 for the first time in a year or more maybe. I am just concerned cuz I saw other people with crazy high E after the followed doctors suggestions to inject 2500iu twice weekly !!!
Thank god for these forums.

Do you already take anastrozole?

I would not try to suppress E2 at 23.
Thanks, but I am thinking of increasing my hcg dose from 250 maybe 350, had some success with it but not what is needed.
I managed to get anastrazole,
Anyone managed to lowers E while on HCG ?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
