    Higher blood pressure since being on TRT.

    Have been on TRT for 5 years. One thing I noticed after starting is that my blood pressure increased. Prior to TRT it had always typically been around 120/75. Since starting it has always more around 140-150/90 whenever my doc would check. He didn't seem overly concerned. But I recently...

    Sudden severe back acne after years on TRT with none.

    Thanks for the advice. I do currently take zinc 30mg and also ZMA (not sure dose right now). And whilst that may work very well, I would really like to get to the bottom of what's caused this acne when I have never had any in my life. And yes, totally agree with you about that group. That's...

    Sudden severe back acne after years on TRT with none.

    I do understand that. However I think the cause actually being T too high is pretty unlikely. Especially considering that over the years I've experimented with much higher doses than I'm currently on with zero acne issues.

    Sudden severe back acne after years on TRT with none.

    The problem was there long before I started back on the AI. It started not too long after I stopped using the AI.

    Opinions on E2 management.

    Systemlord, I don't have my labs on hand as I'm at work. But in my most recent labs, my total T was around 800, from memory the range was around 250-1000. I can't remember my Free T but it was within the range. I have not had a blood test since stopping the AI however I did not change my dose, I...

    Opinions on E2 management.

    On TRT for just over 4 years. Lately I've been part of a facebook group that also has a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoxPowerBasement They are all things TRT, however a very strong theme of the group is that NOBODY needs an AI. EVER. So for the past 6 months or so I have not...

    Can Testosterone quality affect acne?

    I was actually using Sus250 before the UGL enanthate. In the past I've used Cyp, Enth and Sus, all pharma will no acne problems.

    Can Testosterone quality affect acne?

    I'll try to keep this short. On TRT for almost 4 years. When I started, TRT in my country was non-existent. (these days there are a few clinics but none near me). So I've been doing it myself this whole time. I've been using pharma grade Test (cyp, enth) this whole time. About 2 months ago I had...

    Anyone used/using calcium d glucarate for estrogen control?

    Lots to consider here. I have used cialis before (not for e2 control) and it typically made my face very red. However that would have been a lot more than the lower dosages recommended here.

    Anyone used/using calcium d glucarate for estrogen control?

    Hmm, ok then. That's not what I want. I might start a new thread asking what people's preferred method of estrogen control is. Thanks for the replies everyone.

    Anyone used/using calcium d glucarate for estrogen control?

    Thanks Craig. I had not heard of it reducing testosterone levels. I will have to research that. So, if you're not taking it primarily for estrogen control, why are you taking it?

    Anyone used/using calcium d glucarate for estrogen control?

    I've been reading a lot of good things lately about calcium d glucarate particularly in it's effectiveness of estrogen control. Just wondering if anyone on here has used it and can share their thoughts on it?

    Increased pulse and heavy heart beat

    I've done a bit of searching on the net but haven't been able to find any relevant information so I thought I'd ask in here. After a while on TRT (I can't remember how long, maybe 6 months to a year) one thing I noticed is that I was now able to actually feel my heart beating in my chest...

    Could DIM have knocked my e2 too low?

    Thanks. I've read both those articles. I've pretty much determined from them that DIM isn't the best way to manage estrogen. If anyone has any further info on this or recommendations for the best ways to manage estrogen I'd love to hear them.
