Are there any specific tests/activites that you would recommend/advise that I do? Any particular questions that I should raise with my provider? I donated blood shortly after I posted my original message and am going to restest in the next 2 weeks to see how things look. I am willing to pay...- mr.craig.smith

I just got my new Rx in. It's compounded by Wells Pharmacy in FL (90% test cyp & 10% enanthate in grapeseed oil). Will give it a go with the 29g's. Thank you everyone, I appreciate your feedback. Will report back in several weeks.- mr.craig.smith

Copy. I will go back to the 1/2" needles and will keep everything else the same. Will re-test in 4 weeks to see if anything changes.- mr.craig.smith

I am not dying on any hills haha. I am open to all suggestions. My primary goals with TRT are to be able to operate/function like an adult male, be able to workout and make steady progress, and to have a healthy sex life with my wife. I have found that sexual health/performance wasn't as...- mr.craig.smith

Thanks for the suggestion. I am considering going to EOD injections to see if that would help increase aromatase activity. I have consistently had high bilirubin and low alkaline phosphotase for years; doctors have told me I likely have Gilbert syndrome (benign for all I can tell). Not sure...- mr.craig.smith

I'm not supplementing with anything; just eat a 100% whole food diet of grassfed meats, organic vegetables, and certain grains (e.g. oatmeal, wild/jasmine rice, beans, etc). Did the low dose e2 help at all? I'm reluctant to add another variable, but I also read that adding a small daily pump...- mr.craig.smith

That makes sense. I have some 29g ones as well. I was just enjoying the 31g since I am quite the pincushion with the current protocol. I'll go with the longer ones for glutes and the shorter ones for the delts/quads and see if that makes a difference.- mr.craig.smith

What's weird is that I'm injecting the same exact Rx as I was previously, but I'm injecting a higher dose (started at 16mg > went to 18mg > went to 20mg while lab values have gone down). I rotate injection sights from shallow IM delts, quads, ventroglutes, and occasionaly love handle fat...- mr.craig.smith

Thank you sir. I am planning on donating blood this week or next week (the provider brought up as well). Regarding my protocol, I'm not sure how estradiol went down that low? I was previously at 16mg daily + 500iu HCG, but my numbers have steadily gone down since their highs earlier this...- mr.craig.smith

Managing the Testosterone-to-Estradiol Ratio in Men on TRT
Great info, thank you Nelson! Regarding this part: "They reported that the frequency of morning erections was highest when the T:E ratio after therapy was around 12:1 or greater – in fact, through ROC analysis they identified a ratio of approximately 12 as the cut-off associated with normal...- mr.craig.smith
