Assuming that your E2 was the sensitive assay I would take .50 ai initially then take .25 ai every 5 days and retest in 6 weeks or so to determine if dose is appropriate. As stated this ai is very strong and works pretty fast as well and 52.9 is not that high. I was in the same boat E2 was 52...

Symptoms that are occurring: -Sweating & Night sweats In the meantime I would up my dose to 40 mgs E3D and see if symptoms improve over time. When my T is low and my E2 is low I get the same symptoms especially in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the link I found the information helpful as I had never heard of tertiary hypogonadism only primary and secondary. You have a progressive doctor that's very important in fact I believe that is the most important link to good health and successful medical treatment.

My Endo checked my LH & FSH once in two years and they came back at FSH <0.7 and LH at <0.2 and was unnecessary I was already suppressed because he knew I had been prescribed T by my GP (which he never checked my FSH & LH) before putting me on T. He then discharged me as a patient after I...

I'm considering switching from T-cyp to enanthate because my skin has always been a problem after 4 yrs on T-cyp and having tried almost everything from changing my diet to soaps and supplements and reducing my dose to where I don't feel any benefits from it I came across this book eat right for...

I had to practically beg him for a script for ai he said he has 200 hundred patients on trt and none use it. I asked about HCG it was denied. Just as others I have difficulty in dosing the ai but I will keep at it to see if I can get better results. My insurance covers my blood work quite well...

My endo does not allow for higher T levels he reduced my dose as soon as my total T got to 723 (250-827) the last time even though my free T was only 85.5 (46.0-224.0) he claims that he did it because my hematocrit came back at 52.1 (38.5-50.0). As for thyroid he only checks TSH and Free T4 he...
