You are taking 1.5mg per week of AI. Your E2 is 20 with this dosage. Most likely your E2 will be in the 40-60 range if you stop completely.(an obvious guess but it will no doubt go up)Now to be fair you may not be sensitive to high estrogen levels. Women have non Menstruation estrogen levels...

He is already taking an AI so where is this fear of “crashed” E2 coming from? His E2 isn’t crashed so why would it suddenly become so low that he needs weeks to recover. You tell him he is in a good T to E2 range now. This is because he is taking an AI already. His range won’t remain the same...

Labs look good. You said you feel good. What are you hoping to accomplish? What makes you think doubling your estrogen will improve anything?

Too many variables. Some people have developed a testosterone resistance. Some people have high SHBG which snatches up most of the free T and renders it useless. If a person is having blood work done regularly and everything is within healthy ranges then I don’t see what they are hurting have...

So I shouldn't suppress my estrogen because its beneficial right? What should I do about the tits that start growing on my chest? What should I do about the excessive water retention. My hands and feet swell up like balloons. I can barely make a fist without feeling like my skin will rip. What...

I can certainly understand your reasoning behind it. Honestly many men won't need an AI because they are not sensitive to estrogen the way some are. I have been prone to gyno and water retention with elevated estrogen since puberty. I believe it to be irresponsible for guys like Jay Cambell and...

You can always find people to claim anything. Some say they felt so much better without an AI and they just let their E2 run into levels not even a woman would want. Some people have become so obsessed with being anti AI that they convince themselves that this micro dose of AI “crashed” their E2...

Some do. I think they are called transgender people. Some guys on TRT have become obsessed with being on ERT it seems. Not saying you. Just see so many guys afraid if they don’t have high E2 levels then something must be wrong.

What happens that makes it something he can’t tollerate? Gas or throwing up or something?

All of your points are valid. There is no reason or proof to believe that having an E2 level within a healthy range is dangerous or harmful in any way. The anti AI people have absolutely no logical evidence that backs up these claims. I’m not walking around with more Estrogen than m wife no...

That’s just not how it works. We all have natural slight hormonal changes throughout the day and weeks. Insulin, sleep, stress all cause hormonal changes. The reality is there is nothing about slightly lowering estrogen levels that leads to water retention. Water retention can change with...

I’ve never heard of an AI actually causing water retention. I think you may be misdiagnosing what was going on. I’ve seen stories from Dr Rand speaking about giving a patient an AI and they drop several pounds of extra water they were carrying. AI’s lower estrogen levels without debate. Lower...

So your conclusion is that .125 of an AI actually caused water retention AND joint aches? I’m not sure I understand how an AI can be responsible for both of these at the same time.

Are you messing with us? You have to be. If you are then kudos for the funny joke. If not...then....nauseating.

Lord I hope not. Why not inject it straight into your taint.

This is very interesting to see how 2 different people can get 2 totally different results. I can’t help but wonder if something else could be contributing to this. Maybe different insulin levels from 1 test to the other which seems to cause lower testosterone blood testing results. I’m...

It’s crazy if you think about it how the prescription process and shipping times has us all by the balls. Heaven forbid you drop and break a vial of your own medication. You are expected to just suffer for a month waiting for this arbitrary time to expire so you can get more medicine. This...

Im surprised your initial estrogen levels were 27.9 with a total T of only 177. My initial T was almost exactly the same as yours but my Estrogen was only 5. I may be wrong but I would like to see my free T higher than 20. I would be looking for more Testosterone to get my free levels up.

I’ve read that drinking a glucose beverage can reduce testosterone levels by up to 40% 60 minutes before a blood test. So would this insulin spike have the same effect for a person injecting testosterone or does this insulin only effect testicular testosterone production? Are spikes in insulin...

So they typically want you to get T levels checked first thing in the morning. If you are already on testosterone injections and HCG does the time of day even matter?

I have it. I developed it when I was about 13. I went to the family doctor and he said it was normal. He said it will go away. The hard painful lumps went away and left soft fatty tissue under the nips. Now most wouldn’t notice. It’s not something that is clear unless you are me. I have always...

This brings up the question of what point are test levels harmful vs beneficial. If someone has a level of 2500 but all labs show to be healthy and in a good range then what long term harm is being done? Higher testosterone equals less body fat and less body fat equals less long term diseases...

I started with a test level of 177. I haven’t had my first follow up labs done yet. Did you check your T levels at 150mg per week? Are you self medicating or did I doctor prescribe you 250mgs week. It seems like it may be hard to get some doctors to go over this “magical” 200mg week limit that...

Well not always. When I was 25 I gained 20-25 pounds on a 12 week cycle of only Sus 250. I did nothing to keep my natural T going. No hcg no clomid nothing. I’ve known many guys to get really good gains from moderate levels of test. Of course we hit the gym like animals and ate everything in...

I’m going to keep checking my temps. I was between 96 to a high of 97.2 during the afternoon. I have been dealing with this low body temp issue for several years. I feel like I wasted some good years of my life with thyroid and testosterone issues that I should have checked into. My feeling...

I haven’t checked it until this morning. It’s was only 96.2 today so not today. I’m going to check it periodically and see if it changes. I’m very curious to see how my labs look next time. I wish it wasn’t so expensive to get these tested.

My reverse T3 was or is 26. I take T3 15 mcg per day. Started at 5, then week 2 went to 10 and now 15. HUGE difference. Mood, energy ect. Good job testing it. It can be pricey getting everything tested but worth it if you have fatigue. Explained why my morning temp was always 96 degrees.

Have you been on a pretty serious calorie reduction diet? I ask because I believe reverse t3 can be a result. I believe it’s a defense mechanism our bodies have to starvation. Drops your metabolism to keep you alive.

But you are forgetting that Jay Campbell went and had gynocomastia surgery and now he needs to promote his business so he decided to yell in his fading voice about how stupid intelligent doctors like Rand and Saya are for moderating patients E2. Meanwhile he is lathering up his testicles with so...

I would imagine (speculating like you) that the majority of men would have water retention, high blood pressure, and gynocomastia growth at 200 levels of E2. The breast tissue receptors dont seem to care what your testosterone levels are since E2 and Test are not competing for the receptors in...

Here is what I know. When a man goes to a doctor and says "Doc. Please turn me into a chick, tits and all' the doctor will proceed to give him estrogen but only in levels that never exceed 200. Typically in the 100 range. Why wont the doctor put him at a level over 200? Because their is harm in...
