No, I got a regular e2 test from my doctor. I feel great when my number is lower, like 5-10. It's tough trying to figure out how to manage AI to keep it consistently low without going too low. I get a lot of brain fog when I take too much arimidex.

So I got blood work this past Wednesday, one day after taking 200mg test cyp (no hcg or ai) Test:950 E2: 45 So obviously the e2 is a major issue. Should I rearrange when I take my ai to combat this?

I don't have any plan to go back on hCG mono. Being as I will have to be on TRT for life, I will be sticking with test cyp and any additions to maximize how I feel. I don't know how to eliminate this issue of water retention with hCG. Maybe taking arimidex the same day as hCG?

My hcg mono routine was 2500iu 3x per week. I had great results for a year then It eventually stopped working efficiently so I switched over to test. I still am scratching my head as to why this water retention just arbitrarily developed now from hcg. I used to have the opposite problem; hcg...

I take American Pharmaceutical Product's brand HCG which I get at my local pharmacy. I have taken this brand on and off since 2008. I used to be on hcg mono therapy but then went to test cyp, eventually adding hcg and arimidex to the mix. Never had this water retention issue til this year.

The issue is the water retention. I get great benefits from hCG but now for whatever reason it causes this side effect, even when I have taken just 125iu.

I have the doctor this upcoming week so I dont have any current bloodwork. The swelling is only in the chest and face, and there appears to be weight gain in my stomach as well. No swelling anywhere else. No blood pressure issues.

I've been on TRT for years, combining test cyp, hcg, and arimidex. Back in May, I began developing the side effect of water retention from HCG. I was taking 500iu per week. My face would swell and my chest would swell as well, both very noticable. I eventually dropped the HCG and no longer have...

Hey man sorry I'm actually not sure. I don't have the paperwork anymore. I had more bloodwork done on Tuesday morning, hoping to have the results next week.

BW from several weeks ago, right at the end of the week prior to taking HCG & AI... Test: 631 E2: 37

I used to split my test shots biweekly and for whatever reason I don't react to them well. I have much less energy, sex drive is gone, and no hunger. 200mg in one shot gives me all of that. Don't know why. But I don't get the morning wood with my current protocol. Also libido is a little off...

I take 200mg test every Tuesday. The day before, I take 500iu HCG and .25mg adex. If I take HCG on two days, or AI on two days, I crash. The main problem with this routine was that it was not giving me morning wood. All other aspects (erection quality, energy, hunger) were very good, although...

Do any of you have a specific routine for when you exactly take your test, hcg, and ai. For example, do you take HCG the day before your test shot, and take AI on the same day as your test? I've been taking 500iu hcg and .25mg anastrozole the day before my test shot. This was working okay for...

For whatever reason, these are the only doses that work. I've tried a bunch of others, such as 100mg 2x per week, 500iu HCG 2x per week, .25 adex 2x per week, etc, etc. I only respond to test that is in 200mg shots or higher, and I need only one 500iu shot of HCG per week. Any more is too much...

Okay so I am torn between using the following two doses for TRT... EVERY WEEK: 500iu HCG + .25mg ADEX (MON), 200mg TEST (TUES) EVERY TWO WEEKS: 1000iu-1500iu HCG, .5mg ADEX, 450mg TEST (ALL SAME DAY) The first routine has me feeling real good but my sex drive isn't where it should be. No...
