I think I have finally compiled a list of labs I’ll add on here incase someone sees something I missed. I went back to the dermatologist appointment and they didn’t help much. Couldn’t give any insight on how to handle the rash, why it happen. They injected me with a large does of steroids and...

Sorry for delay I will respond later today been really busy but my doctor said he will draw blood an check anything I want that lab corp will process. Could someone list everything I should do for hormones I want everything checked but don’t what to ask for

Also when I get back into town I will post my last labs. I don’t have the ones before that but I literally had nothing out of range until the test shots began

To clarify, your e2 is high and you feel great? I never got gyno or even know what side effects I even have or had with mine being high but what little I know is it’s not good to be High and I got worried. Anything in my labs that’s in bold or red (high) worries me and I try to fix immediately

Hate to hear that for you, the urologist I saw today to believed it’s the test but not the test itself but the oil used in it being cotton seed oil. How long did your rash last once you stopped the test? I will try to update as much as possible on here since you’re in the same boat.

If there is anything specific information wise that would be helpful just let me know and I’ll answer it. I went to a urologist today for unrelated issue and found out he “specializes” in hormones. He thought my plan of stopping all test and ai was a solid plan although he said the 200iu I’m...

Also I’m not trying to omit information, just not sure what’s pertinent. I have to much trust in doctors as I’m completely uneducated in this trt world. My family doctor will literally do anything I ask so if I knew what all to ask for them to run my blood for they will. The reason I haven’t...

I have stopped all test, only injecting hCG every 4 days in hopes of kicking some natural production back on. I have never had issues with hCG and may should have never switched to test. Especially since I did it for monetarily reasons only. I was taking testosterone cypinate and I am not sure...

I will answer as much as I can without my labs on hand as I am out of town. Yes, in an 8 day time frame I took 200mg. Before starting my test level was 420 estradiol was in the normal range. After 12 weeks my test was 1013 and estradiol was 71 and I began Arimidex x3 weekly. I have labs done...

Thanks for all the information, I have stopped testosterone. After stopping my ai the rash and itchiness wasn’t improving and through my own research discovered my rash matched that of some others who were allergic to injections of testosterone. Not sure why it took so long to come out but...

@Belekas thanks for the info, I will add this to my email to my doctor. To clarify I wasn’t going to run test and hCG, I was going to stop test and go back to hCG. I just felt better on hCG no issues but it’s just about x20 more expensive.

I have no side effects that I’m aware of from the high level of estradiol prior to taking the ai. It just seems nothing has really worked since starting trt

I inject .5 every four days

I will try to be brief but I have been struggling to gain any benefits from TRT. I reluctantly started test inject mainly do to cost of other treatments six months ago. I have not seen or felt any positive benefits. My sleep has worsened, sex drive has actually gone done, testicular atrophy set...

Just curious, how does ashawaganda directly assist t levels? Is it just a by product of reducing stress keeping cortisol lower for t to be higher?
