    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    I'll try dropping it down to 30mgs EOD, get my sensitive estradiol test done in another week. Then have test and estradiol tested in another 3 weeks. What's the goal of getting shgb tested again?

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    It was probably through quest or LabCorp. He sent me my results on an Excel spreadsheet, so I can't tell what lab it was from. I did think from the start, though, that I would have to lower my test injections below 200mg weekly to somewhere closer to 100-150. I'm just trying to make minor...

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    So, my testosterone level reading more recently of over 1500 didn't make sense to me either. The docs test which was done about a month ago had a good range of 200-1000 for testosterone

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    Thanks, Vince. I did just recently have my SHGB tested with a doctor that I had decided not to go back to. I'm not sure how accurate his lab results are though, because when he had my testosterone tested it had me at a level of 545. I've had over 30 blood test done over the past three years...

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    I know that quite a few of the members on here don't use arimidex. They also don't take 200mgs of test a week either. So, i'm trying to find that level of testosterone to where I don't need my Arimidex, but I'm not sure how often I should get blood work and adjust, if necessary

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    I feel good today, but the goal of my changing protocols was to get fewer highs and lows. That hasn't changed. One day I'll feel good and then I'll feel off both psychologically, physically, energy level, libido and sexual performance. I know every day isn't going to be a fantastic day, so I'm...

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    I was surprised by this testosterone read as well. I've always understood my trough as the day that I would be getting my next injection and obviously before I get that injection. However, on EOD injections that would be every other day right before I get my next injection which is when I got...

    Trying to "dial" in with out the use of arimidex - Question about blood testing

    I had recently posted that I was trying to discontinue my use of arimidex, because I was having trouble staying dialed in and was would like to take less meds to achive my results, if possible. I had switched to injecting 50mgs of test and 250ius of HCG EOD as opposed to 100mg of test and 500ius...

    Restart without meds?

    Not sure I understand the reasoning behind a restart if your natural level was 400, unless you felt better at 400 than on TRT

    Restart without meds?

    Why do you want to attempt a restart? If you do, I wouldn't do it without meds, hcg and chlomid are needed for a restart. Dr. scallys protocol has been proven effective. Doing it under medical supervision is always preferable. I know that IMT has a specific program for it, but it's not cheap...

    Testosterone dosing frequency to try to control estradiol without anastrozole

    I've been on TRT (100mg every 3.5 days) for almost 2 years. I also take .25mg of anastrozole every 3.5 days. I feel great when I am "dialed" in, but I have my off days when my E2 is too low or high. I get my blood work done on a regular basis and get it checked when I feel off. I've been dead on...

    Restart without meds?

    I disagree. I have spoken with 2 docs that say that a restart is always possible and the likelihood that you will not be able to restart is closer to fanciful. I have restarted myself. It was miserable though, and I don't recommend. There is a national TRT clinic out there that has a specific...

    Coming off long term TEST use cold turkey - help in Netherlands

    I agree with all of the comments that he should seek a doc in his situation. If there is no access to a doc (doesn't seems to be one), why wouldn't anyone suggest that he restart his HPTA? He didn't mention that he had low test naturally, just that he went on to speed up his recovery

    Disappointing Initial visit with one of Houston's supposedly premier TRT Doctors

    I've been managing my own symptoms for years. I can't seem to regulate my estradiol over the long term. I thought about taking the caber at a reasonable level, but I don't know what my prolactin levels are. So, I wouldn't know, if I am treating the right problem. The scary thing is this doc...

    Disappointing Initial visit with one of Houston's supposedly premier TRT Doctors

    Hi Nelson, if I can figure out how to PM you, I will. I thought it might not be a good idea to publicize the doctor's name on here. But, I was very disappointed by my experience with him

    Disappointing Initial visit with one of Houston's supposedly premier TRT Doctors

    I am filing out my forms for Defy medical tonight. I was seeing this doctor first. He is well known and takes insurance. I had high hopes, but he is obviously not the right doc for me at least

    Disappointing Initial visit with one of Houston's supposedly premier TRT Doctors

    I've been searching around for a new TRT doc. My current doc will prescribe what I need and give lab test, but I am basically getting all of my information of the internet as how to take meds and telling my doc what to prescribe. I am currently on 200mg of Test C per week split into doses and...
