here you can see .75mg gel (which is 3x the strength as the cream) hits pg levels of 30pg

Yes, I do well with higher E2 40-60pg. with the tablets unfortunately you don't get much estradiol, it is converted by the liver to estriol in a large amounts. Creams or injections are your best bet. Also HCG

I suffer from low e2 as well , the .25mg cream is fine. I tried cream of the same strength and is took my estradiol from less than 15pg to 24pg, so likely twice a day would have been better.

To the OP, testosterone can spike your norepinephrine which will cause high bp. Which should normal out after a while.

Be careful with your diastolic in the 60's especially low 60s. the heart does not get enough oxygenated blood. I know you take daily tadalafil, but if you add viagra also it may be dipping into the 50s

my opinion there is no optimal level on any hormone, just ranges to go by. Some men need middle of the road, some need the lower end, and some need 2x the range. In terms of prog, my level was .3 on LabCorp. I tried some prog cream and it turned me into a angry a$$hole.

This is what I am referring to, it should be there worded as there is a chance of it happening. I searched reddit\forums and plenty of other posted labs of normal values with no HCG\supplement use.

Actually not concerned at all, was just curious in the theory you see everywhere with HCG backfilling hormones, I agree with your levels,, if you feel fine thats a bonus. Yes mods won't post labs , I can almost guarantee their levels are at or higher than yours.....but can always tell others...

looking back at mychart app, I started TRT in 2012...13 years is pretty long

The pregnenolone lab range is odd, just <150, so they make it seem like there is no low level. Do you supplement with it?

So I been on TRT for a long while and only tried HCG a couple times early on. It honestly made me feel like garbage. I thought I would give it another try but before I started it I had my DHEA, Pregnenolone, and progesterone tested. These are the hormones that most seem to say we need to...

You get a lot of calcium and magnesium through food if you eat healthy, I don't think one large dump of any nutrient is good. This multi gets you some of the basics without going overboard.

I agree here as well, sometimes certain nutrients make me feel awful as well. That would be Vit D 2000iu+, magnesium usually 200mg+ (Elemental), And super high doses of B12

This is a great multi, has about a 100% of daily values on most things vs 1000% https://www.amazon.com/NATURELO-One-Daily-Multivitamin-Men/dp/B01MA5K82Q?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

I would check Vit D, B12. Also possibly magnesium and zinc blood levels.
