    Arimidex

    I've moved to E0D sub Q shots in an attempt to naturally lower my E2 but I feel it's still high (waiting on lab results). I see Nelson is recommending .5 mg per week. How should that be dosed on an E0D schedule?

    How can one increase SHBG when it is too low?

    Thanks for the feedback. I feel my libido is not as good as it was before TRT. I'm just not as excited about sex. It's not horrible, but I think it's a bit worse than before. It could be that my E2 was just at 72 2 weeks ago and I'm letting it come down. It seemed much better my first 3 or 4...

    How can one increase SHBG when it is too low?

    Hey Ero - I've seen you mention in a couple posts that your libido is lower than it was previous to TRT. Do you mean your desire or erection quality? Or both? Are you using HCG? Also, in this thread I see it recommend that HGH or other growth hormones/peptides can raise SHBG. In my expereince...

    High E2 with Only Moderately High T - What are the Options?

    Ero, thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to lower my dose to 40mg E03, take some DIM I just picked up and drop the HCG for 2-3 weeks. Then I'll get tested again to reestablish a baseline. I'm hoping to get back to around 30 without an AI.

    High E2 with Only Moderately High T - What are the Options?

    I agree concerning the test, but it's all I have here, unfortunately. My doc hasn't done that, it's more of something that I want to avoid. Maybe I'll just go back to 45mg E02 with 150iu HCG MWF and drop the HGH. Then retest in a month to see. I want results now but I'd rather not get going...

    What topics do you want to see covered in our next Google Hangouts?

    I would like to hear about this too. Are there any studies that show what an ideal ratio would be? What is an average teenager's ratio? Any info around E2 is helpful as that's something I'm worry about at the moment. :cool:

    High E2 with Only Moderately High T - What are the Options?

    Hey guys, I just received an E2 result of 72pg/mL on a reference range of 7-42pg/mL. This is an ECLIA test. I do not have access to a sensitive test. I’m hoping I can get some advice. Here’s my situation. Started TRT in Jan with baselines of (same ECLIA tests and lab for everything): ·...

    Under the skin testosterone injection pain and redness

    I'm having a hard time finding the fat around this spot. I'm very lean and it feels like muscle around my hips. I too am getting sore, redness on my side/lower back fat pads so I want to switch. Does any have another image that shows the fat around the hips? Maybe a real pic with the area circled?

    6 Week Lab Results

    Hi, I just did my 6 week labs and my test came in at 515 (ECLIA - it's the only test I can do in my area) and Estradiol (ECLIA as well) at 31. Those's were taken at the trough on the morning of my test shot. My baselines prior where 314 and 26. I'd like to get my level up a bit...

    When to take blood test?

    ^ Thanks :) Yeah, I did do baselines prior to starting. My E2 (non-sensitive - I can't get sensitive where I am) was 26, right in that sweet spot between 20-30. Hopefully it hasn't gone haywire.

    When to take blood test?

    Hey Guys I have a question that relates to this topic. I'm almost to my TRT six week mark and I want to get blood work done. I do Test Cyp EO3 for a total of 100mg a week (Subq). I also do HCG Mon, Weds, Fri 160iu each pin (Subq and per Gene's suggestion). No AI. On which day is best to...

    HCG Dose Timing on E3D Test Cyp

    I recently started TRT with a protocol of 40mg Test Cyp E3D plus 250iu HCG E3D, both on the same day and subq. After reading up on taking HCG with TRT I'm wondering if that's not the best time to take HCG. I understand guys like Gene and Dr. Chrisler prefer 100iu daily but I don't think I want...

    FSH and LH High but Total Test in Normal Range - Thoughts?

At age 28 I had Testicular Cancer and an orchiectomy/chemo/rplnd treatment. I'm now 37 and have recovered well. Recently I begin feeling a bit unfocused...
