    Starting TRT Soon

    He told me that he was requesting them in case I needed them, but he didn't feel like that I would. I was suprised it was that many tablets. I ordered a few to keep in case, but not that whole amount. He even said if I got to the point where E2 symptoms kicked in, to contact him and he would...

    Starting TRT Soon

    My console went well today. He suggested 150 mg a week broken up into MWF injections to keep my free T over 20, and my E2 in range due to my lower end SBHG.

    Starting TRT Soon

    Thanks for the feedback. I agree to hope to start out between 100-150 a week as well. My blood count numbers are high because I was on iron supplements for over a year to drive my iron levels back up after a continuous bleed. I just stopped taking them three days ago. Normally my blood numbers...

    I ate dinner around 6, took the iron a little before 8. I am taking 10000 IU of D a day because it was very low pre TRT. Up to 53.1 after 4 weeks of supplementation.
