    Horrible Gyno with Low Estrogen / SHBG

    Hey manman, thank you for taking the time to respond. This bloodwork was taken on day 2 (24 hours after injection) as I was trying to get the peak of my levels to find out if my estrogen was out of control during this period as normally I would get my bloodwork done on Day 4 (trough), when my...

    Horrible Gyno with Low Estrogen / SHBG

    I've having extreme problems with Gyno that I just can't seem to control. It only happens on my right breast and I've got a lump under my chest that I've had for a long time but recently it has started to grow and a second lump has formed. I've used this does of testosterone for a long time...

    Could the ratio of progesterone to estradiol affect water retention in men on TRT?

    Hey xqfq, I'm currently got low progesterone as well and trying to decide what protocol to do to get it up. I've ordered some progesterone cream as well as some pregnenolone 10mg capsules. I'm on HCG but it causes a lot of estrogen issues with gyno and I'm taking a lot of Aromasin to control it...

    Backfilling Progesterone with Estrogen Dominance

    Im pretty sure I’m low In Progesterone as I used to be able to handle more testosterone without the use of an AI and now it seems no matter what I do I get flare ups with my chest. Would make sense as slowly over time without hcg it’s been depleted. i also have quite a few of the symptoms...

    Backfilling Progesterone with Estrogen Dominance

    Thank you Vince, I'll have a read through now. My HDL was at 36,5 mg/dL in Feb 2020. I think this could also be related to not eating fish due to high levels of mercury I discovered in 2018, I removed all fish apart from occasional sardines. Also I haven't used an AI in the past and my test dose...

    Backfilling Progesterone with Estrogen Dominance

    Thanks for the reply! I'm currently 29, so ideally I'd love to have everything sorted with HCG as it covers all hormones that need backfilling. My HDL is also low and I'm thinking that even when I've taken HCG in the past I might have been lacking the raw material to make the hormones. So this...

    Backfilling Progesterone with Estrogen Dominance

     Due to not using HCG for 3 Years (Just testosterone), according to Nelson, this can cause your Pregnenolone and Progesterone levels to crash. My theory is due to having very low Progesterone it is causing Estrogen Dominance and any time I take HCG I am having estrogen side effects even...

    ADHD after 4 Years TRT - Adrenal Problems?

    I have been on TRT for 4 years. During this time I've had issues with estrogen and using HCG was problematic and I always believed it was better to avoid an AI. As I also didn't want children during the past for years I've been using just testosterone (87.5mg a week) I now have been diagnosed...

    Adrenal Fatigue from no HCG?

    Yes, I actually did a small look into Aromasin yesterday, I found a post stating you would want to take around 0.5 to 1mg daily, although I could only find 25mg pills and thought that sounded like a bit of a nightmare to dose. Although my friend whos used it in the past suggested 12.5mg every 3...

    Adrenal Fatigue from no HCG?

    I have always struggled to take HCG due to it aromatisation to Estrogen even at small doses. I have 2 COMT SNP’s that significantly decrease my body ability to clear estrogen and having high estrogen levels further decreases my ability to clear estrogens. I have also had lumps form in my...

    RT3 Ratio of 90.. Although pretty sure I have high RT3

    I suffer from strong fatigue, and mental brain fog etc struggle to work or do complex brain calculations. So It's definitely a problem. I've been hoping over the past year I'd be able to bring it down etc but it's not budging :/

    RT3 Ratio of 90.. Although pretty sure I have high RT3

    When you say low doses what did you end up taking? Also how often did you dose? I've heard T3 has a short half-life and sometimes needs dosing multiple times a day.
