Right, me too. It was 49 pg/ml last week. So not crazy but my baseline E2 on TRT was about 25. I've never need an AI.

So I'm left to take matters into my own hands until I can get to see him face to face. I think I'm going to to drop...
Interesting, I will consider that. 4000+ weekly is definitely too much. My buddy was on a similar dose for fertility as mono-therapy and he had some major mood/anxiety problems as well. I suppose it affects everyone differently but I want off this train.
Greetings all;

I'm 38. Was on TRT for a couple years starting about age 34. Did great for 2 years, then decided to slow-taper off to see if my testes still had any life in them. Initially I did ok, but slowly over about a year my symptoms came back---low libido, loss of...
