So a very interesting development today, I went to see Dr Savage last weekend and he called me today with the results of my blood tests:
My TT is 18 nmol/L!!
Thyroid was normal and SHGB 39nmol/L , I wasn't given the ranges. Interestingly my E2 was actually low (can't remember the number but...
Thanks for sharing your stories, it's good to hear most of you are getting on pretty good with treatment. Could use some advice:
I've got 3 options:
1. Accept my poor natty levels and be medication free
2. Try to lower E2 with AI monotherapy
3. Get back on TRT with a better protocol (start...
Spot on, my E2 numbers have always been high and have always taken an AI as a result but never felt the benefits of TRT after 8 months so I've stopped. Low T symptoms slowly coming back and I'm wondering if I shouldn't have tried just T and gone by how I felt, not labs, especially as here in the...
Was just curious how many of us are on TRT without the need for an AI? If so, what are you're numbers? Would be especially good to hear from anyone who's E2 is "high" but feels fine?
It seems we all get obsessed about numbers, particularly when it comes to E2 but I'm seeing some anecdotal...
Results back from doc:
E2 125 pmol/L (0-145)
Once again said I was in the "normal" range and nothing to worry about :confused: It's interesting, as time goes on I'm starting to become familiar with the way my body responds to high/low E and/or low T. Think it's safe to assume my natty T is...
Thanks mate, I'm sure my HTPA axis is functioning again, I normally wake up with wood most mornings and my nuts are swollen but still getting:
- Horrible anxiety (no depression)
- Insomnia
- 5lb weight fluctuations throughout the day
- No libido/weak erections
Had an E2 test yesterday which...
Thanks Vince, I do have some betaine HCL but took it out of my supplement stack a while ago as I felt it wasn't doing much, perhaps I didn't give it long enough. Is there a stomach acid test available on the NHS?
Systemlord, numbers pre-TRT (Dec 2016) were
FSH: 3.4 IU/L (1.4 - 18.1)
LH: 2.9...
No but I do suffer from other digestion problems, sometimes I will get constipation for a few days with really bad wind followed by diarrhoea, I took a food intolerance test and have avoided anything that came back on that list which has improved things.
The main thing that makes me suspect...
I'll keep this short and sweet.
I decided to come off TRT 5 weeks ago after 8 months and I think my system may be back to baseline - the trouble is my baseline was Low T and High E. I'm doing everything I can for good natty levels including:
- Lifting Weights (short, intense)
- 8+ hours...
Correct about the E2 test, we only have 1 type, from what has been suggested over the months I need to aim for the 70-90 range. Do you happen to know his username? I'll try to get in touch. My issue is that I just seem to convert a lot of T to E, maybe this would be different for Test E vs...
Hey guys, been a lurker on the forums while going through my TRT journey for the last 6 months but things haven't worked out how I'd hoped and I need some advice. I'll keep my story as short as I can, there's a TLDR at the bottom for those that don't have the time to read but would appreciate if...
