I’ve actually been thinking about bringing my T dose down a bit. I feel great overall, but I have noticed I feel my best when I’m the furthest from my last shot. Which would be all day Monday, before my shot on tues morning. So I’m thinking if I back my total dosage off some more I might feel...

Welcome Pikey. What’s your starting protocol, just out of curiosity?

Yep low E2 does this to me. Right behind one of my eyes. I vaguely remember reading something about severely low E2 agitating optic nerves.

70mg T-Cyp on Tues IM in the shoulder 80mg T-Cyp on Fri subq in the stomach This has just come from a lot of experimentation. I find I feel the IM injections a lot faster and they also fall off quicker. Where as the subQ injections are more subtle. I also get a bit of an E2 spike from the IM...

I’m a low SHBG guy and felt much better when I switched to two injections per week. Which goes against what you’ll typically hear around here. I also feel like my E2 is more stable with the less frequent dosing. I felt constantly bloated when I was doing daily shots.

Fwiw I didn’t start feeling dialed in until a year and a half into my journey when I cut everything out but test. No hCG, no AI, no supplements. Wish I had started with T only it would have saved me so much hassle and discomfort.

What was your estradiol (E2)?

Sorry Manz, tried having a civil discussion with you but you obviously have quite a bit of learning to do. Close mindedness is extremely dangerous in this field of medicine. Good luck my friend!

Very possible my friend, and I’m not the only one.

Funny you say that, i was considering going to 250 or 300 just once a week to bring the boys back a little. As of now I feel great on T only, so don’t really want to mess with that. You get results at 250iu a week?

.125 will crash my E2 with just one dose. I’m an overresponder, but everyone is different. I’ve read an article where Dr Charles Glueck has made some connections between AI like arimidex/anastrozole and DVT, which are blood clots in the large veins of the body, and have been known to cause...

Some members have had success by adding FSH to their protocol. Remember that hCG stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes, which are responsible for testosterone production, not spermatogenesis (this is where FSH comes in). You are likely experiencing high E2 brought on by the super high hCG...

You doubt, why? The link you posted seems to show it working to great success.

Wouldn’t 0.1mL be 100mg per injection? If 1mL=1000mg.

Just an update: Doing much better these days. Feeling dialed in probably 4 days out of the week. Dropped the hCG altogether. Injection frequency is down to 2x a week, 150mg test cyp total every week. I’ve been experimenting with making my first injection IM; and my second subQ. I’m thinking...

I was just reading earlier how daily regiments of Cialis have been shown to diminish E2 levels. I would try to discontinue the cialis for a couple weeks and see if you start gradually improving. Second, you’re also taking a near-competitive-bodybuilding amount of test every week. I saw...

I *personally* don’t see any reason why you would have to increase or decrease your Test intake. With your E2 being in the low teens, you are likely suffering low E2 symptoms (many people report low being worse than high) which includes frequent urination, fatigue, joint pain, and loss of...

The Thread for Dialed-In Dudes This is a thread of different guys that are in their sweet spots, or at least happy with their treatments. Many are with Defy. As you look over the different protocols, you’ll see it really isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It takes some quite awhile before they...

The fact that you rapidly lost water weight and went from being bloated, to urinating too frequently is a pretty good indicator that your over responded to your AI. You probably went from being too high (water retention, irritability) too being too low within a week or less. Personally I am an...

Have you tried the delts yet?

Wondering if anyone’s tried a lower dose around here, 50mg or so. The lowest I ever see is 80mg or so.

What does 20mg EOD do for you? You take hCG with that too?

It will be interesting to see what your E2 does as you have raised the dose considerably, but also spaced them out. You might feel better with your E2 up and out of the teens. Please keep us posted as to what changes you notice in the coming weeks.

Was your E2 naturally in the teens like that?

Is ED t Is your ED the reason he wants to up your dosage? How often do you take your AI? How do you feel on this current protocol?

Always a good idea to post recent labs. Weight gain (water) and facial flushing is something I associate with high E2, but let’s see what your labs are.

Good deal. Go a little while before you start to mix the hCG in, just to see if you develop any sides on the Test alone. If you wait a month or so then start with the hCG, and those positive effects subside and negatives ones appear you can pinpoint your problem. As your HPTA becomes...

Definitely noticing a trend of no or very low AI in the protocols here.

Have you gotten some labs while you’re feeling great like this, just for reference? Im curious to see how you’re going to react to dropping your T down by 70mg a week. I would think if your labs look great, and you feel great, why not keep going?

Not sure why you would say that if you read through mine and Gman86’s exchange.

Have your palpitations gone away?
