Yes, have puffed up in water weight, nipples sensitive and have a feeling of constant sleepiness. .... matching this with E2 above the higher limit of the range then makes sense to see if lower levels help the symptoms

Have latest bloodwork after inject 44mg Test Cyp EOD, and taking .25mg Arimidex 2x week. I had this bloodwork done by Labcorp… the test levels are WAY higher than those I got back from my PCP on the same dose. Have increased adex dose to .25mg EOD and will see where that gets my E2 levels...

After four months of TRT, my estradiol levels have come back at 81 pg/ml..... doctor has prescribed arimidex 1mg a day.... this seems excessive after reading most posts here. I inject 44mg test cyp EOD, latest labwork shows: TT 552.68 (205-781 ng/dl) FT 3.24 % (H) E2 81 (20-47 pg/ml) SHGB...

Should have mentioned this - as I inject EOD, blood was drawn on non injection day

New labs , drawn last week after upping dose to 44mg EOD. Symptom wise, feeling lots of improvement, mentally, libido and motivation are all positive. Feeling sleepy, but not tired as strange as that sounds. Have gained weight, and am over 200 lbs for the first time in my life but much of...

I see this is an old thread.... but anyway, have been looking at Toremifene.... this study: Toremifene administration resulted in a significant increase in FSH, testosterone, SHBG, and inhibin B levels, as well as in sperm concentration, percentage motility and normal sperm forms.

Have found some information while browsing on this SERM. One of the negative side effects most commonly brought up is that it raises SHBG. However, for those that have low SHBG such as myself..... wondering if this could this be of benefit ? Other benefits are listed as reversing/preventing...

Gotcha..... well, doctor has prescribed increased dose (150mg a week) , broken up into EOD injections of 44 mg and will be drawing labs in 4 weeks. Will also be looking at AI and HCG. To my doc's credit , he was happy to say he didnt know enough about hormone therapy to start combining AI's and...

Coastwatcher and VC - I see from some of your other posts you both have lower SHBG, and you have found daily or EOD injections have brought you good results. What dose are you injecting? If at 100mg , I'm not feeling the symptom improvements, in your opinion what effect might a higher dose have?

So..... this is embarrassing and I feel really stupid but I worked out why my levels were only 300 the day after I thought I had injected - key phrase here "thought I had injected" I've been using 23g 1.5" needles, and when I went to inject this Monday morning, I had the thing pressed against...

Vince, this has me wondering - how is this possible? But this is what has happened. I injected 100mg into my right glute Monday morning, then had the labs drawn the next day... Tuesday morning. I used a 23g 1.5 inch needle, and pushed the needle in nearly all the way. Maybe I injected into...

Will look forward to seeing your results - have you posted a thread on here?

The frustrating part of all of this is my doctor has looked at these results and concluded I'm fine.... I live in Nashville TN , hoping I can find a doctor who's more knowleadgable and who can help me navigate all of this. In the meantime, the replies and insights are are much appreciated
