    High Estradiol in Men: How High is Too High?

    I have messed with HCG and may go back on it as my nuts are disappearing and flaccid penis is shrinking. HCG did raise my E2. I think saying on low dose test cyp has been what has contributed to my lower E2, but when free T geo sup Estrogen will follow. So it has been a 7 year journey thus...

    'Fat but fit' is a myth when it comes to heart health

    wish they would have used something other than BMI. What a total crock of crap that measurement is I am 5' 10.5" and weigh 198#. Can not pinch enough fat on back of are or inner thighs to do an injection. Can get a bout an 1' around belly and my BMI says 29%, almost at obese. Poppycock...

    At home phlebotomy

    We do it at home. My wife is trained though. We can buy 16 ga kits online. Big bore needle does not feel good poking around in there if the person doing the poking is unskilled. So if you have large veins that stick out you can probably be ok. Pay attention next time you go to red cross or...

    Blood pressure issues

    In my situation, TRT for 7 years, it never affected my BP at all. I have been up and down on dosages sorting through. Like you I am low dosing, down to 70mg/ week daily injections. I feel fine and HCT is a bit less of an issue. I did have a heart attack spring of 2018 and they put me on BP...

    Question on recent labs

    I am also in the lower the dose camp. I am slow in everything with this. make small adjustments and give it time in between. Have you checked you DHEA? Seems for some guys it plays a roll in libido. It did nothing for me.

    Question on recent labs

    So your numbers are at the top end but you say low libido, which is why I assume you are keeping high numbers. When yo say low libido, do you mean little drive to want to have sex?

    Prime Body concerns

    Also been with defy a number of years. While every office can have a hiccup, they have been minimal and slight here. And serious apologies if they do happen. Care has been more of a team effort rather than a dictated approach. They listen to me!

    What needle length for IM TRT? Thinking of changing from subQ to IM to feel better

    There has been discussion amongst some of us that sub q is not as effective. I started. like a lot of us, at 200 mg every 2 weeks. I went to weekly and then every 3.5 days. Then jumped to daily a couple years back I have similar free t numbers taking 84 mg a week as I did with 100 mg/ week...

    Low T added T Gel, then Atrophy, added HCG ... now T Levels are dropping

    HCG caused my estradiol to rise higher than I feel good with, so I have accepted small nuts. I could probably take an AI to help with HCG induced estradiol increase, but trying to keep meds limited.

    More Evidence of Declining Testosterone During Last Decades

    Males sense when you look around and see sooo many beta class males with no drive and lack of what I would consider manly qualities. Combine that with so many boys being raised without a father, ugly future ahead

    I always, with whatever med, start low and go slow. Every med out there has side effects, so the minimal amount I can take to reach my goals is perfect.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
