Yep, I do dailies and need very little AI since starting.

AI is any kind of aromatise inhibitor, anastrozole being the most common for us. It helps control the aromatization process, but doesn't stop it. DIM helps flush what estrogen you do have in your system out sooner. You can go get DIM from Vitamin Shoppe or the like, or amazon, wherever, no...

Yeah, that can definitely be a symptom. I tolerate AI well, so if it were me personally, I'd take 2x .25's and if I didn't feel better in two days take another. What's your experience with AI?

YES! There's guys running around this board happy at an E2 of 50; I can't stand being above 30.

On traditional TRT, you might not need a lot of AI for a long time. I over responded to my TRT initially and was taking 1.5-2mg a week at one point to keep it under control. Luckily, that didn't last forever and I only take .25 a week now on average, more if I feel like symptoms may be starting...

High E symptoms may include: water retention, hot flashes, moodiness, libido and erectile problems, increased blood pressure. There's much discussion on this forum of whether the correct ratio to look for is SHBG:E2 or T:E. I'm solidly in the SHBG:E2 crowd, but it could vary for you. How long...

FWIW, Dr. Crissler said the immunoassay was entirely too inaccurate for men, and Defy won't use it either to this day. While it isn't infallible, the liquid C test (Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)) is the most often the more accurate test for men. The way it was...

Hard to say this without sounding like a conspiracy theorist, BUT... a population full of low testosterone, sedentary, often-ill beta males is significantly easier to govern than a population full of strong, healthy alphas. Add to that a pharma industry that 1) makes much more money off a sick...

What's being discussed is generally referred to as "backfilling". Please listen to the advice of the gentlemen above- you don't want microparticles of glass in your blood stream!

I just want to clarify that I wasn't saying you were a meathead ;-) I'm just not on board with your doc. I'd kick him to the curb personally, and go to Defy. At best, he's trying to reinvent the wheel when there's plenty of perfectly good, proven, LESS EXPENSIVE wheels available.

I'm on board with stx359. Calculate your BMR first, then take a good look at your calories and see what your intake is, just in case you're off. I had great success doing keto at a 15% caloric deficit based on my BMR+ exercise calories burned, as stated above. For me, fat, protein, and low to no...

What's your SHBG? Also, are you having any high E2 symptoms?

It's absolutely not hate. Seriously dude, it's unrealistic. You're not just in the 99.9999th percentile of men in regards to how often you want to have sex, you're in the 99.9999th percentile of male mammals on Earth. How does one even have TIME to have sex that much? You don't have a health...

Insanely unrealistic expectations. We're basically listening to someone complain because their new yacht came with a non-airconditioned helipad waiting area.
