Have been on TRT for 5 years. One thing I noticed after starting is that my blood pressure increased. Prior to TRT it had always typically been around 120/75. Since starting it has always more around 140-150/90 whenever my doc would check. He didn't seem overly concerned. But I recently...

Thanks for the advice. I do currently take zinc 30mg and also ZMA (not sure dose right now). And whilst that may work very well, I would really like to get to the bottom of what's caused this acne when I have never had any in my life. And yes, totally agree with you about that group. That's...

I do understand that. However I think the cause actually being T too high is pretty unlikely. Especially considering that over the years I've experimented with much higher doses than I'm currently on with zero acne issues.

The problem was there long before I started back on the AI. It started not too long after I stopped using the AI.

TRT 4.5 years. Current Protocol: 105mg pw, inj EOD Recently started anastrozole (0.25mg E5D) after many months no AI. First 4 years absolutely no acne whatsoever. Then about 6 months ago (might be slightly longer) I started getting back acne. Sometimes it gets reduces slightly, but then comes...

Systemlord, I don't have my labs on hand as I'm at work. But in my most recent labs, my total T was around 800, from memory the range was around 250-1000. I can't remember my Free T but it was within the range. I have not had a blood test since stopping the AI however I did not change my dose, I...

On TRT for just over 4 years. Lately I've been part of a facebook group that also has a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoxPowerBasement They are all things TRT, however a very strong theme of the group is that NOBODY needs an AI. EVER. So for the past 6 months or so I have not...

I was actually using Sus250 before the UGL enanthate. In the past I've used Cyp, Enth and Sus, all pharma will no acne problems.

I'll try to keep this short. On TRT for almost 4 years. When I started, TRT in my country was non-existent. (these days there are a few clinics but none near me). So I've been doing it myself this whole time. I've been using pharma grade Test (cyp, enth) this whole time. About 2 months ago I had...

Lots to consider here. I have used cialis before (not for e2 control) and it typically made my face very red. However that would have been a lot more than the lower dosages recommended here.

Hmm, ok then. That's not what I want. I might start a new thread asking what people's preferred method of estrogen control is. Thanks for the replies everyone.

Thanks Craig. I had not heard of it reducing testosterone levels. I will have to research that. So, if you're not taking it primarily for estrogen control, why are you taking it?

I've been reading a lot of good things lately about calcium d glucarate particularly in it's effectiveness of estrogen control. Just wondering if anyone on here has used it and can share their thoughts on it?

I've done a bit of searching on the net but haven't been able to find any relevant information so I thought I'd ask in here. After a while on TRT (I can't remember how long, maybe 6 months to a year) one thing I noticed is that I was now able to actually feel my heart beating in my chest...

Thanks. I've read both those articles. I've pretty much determined from them that DIM isn't the best way to manage estrogen. If anyone has any further info on this or recommendations for the best ways to manage estrogen I'd love to hear them.

Current Protocol: 110Mg pw Test Cyp Injecting E2D I've always only needed a very small amount of anastrozole. Having seen Dr Crisler and others talk about using DIM (Diindolylmethane) for years, I decided I would give this a try instead of the anastrozole. I've been taking 200mg of DIM (100mg...

I feel just fine on my current protocol.

Thanks for the reply. That's interesting about requiring a higher dose when spacing further apart. I had planned on taking the same weekly amount. So are you injecting daily or EOD?

Been on TRT for around 21 months. Current protocol 105mg PW Cypionate, inject E0D. Reason for EOD injections is due to SHBG being in the low to mid 20's. (20-25, 11 blood tests) All bloodwork has been great with no issues at all. I'm considering changing to E3D injections purely for the...

Excellent info guys. Thanks heaps. For now I'll stay on my current dosage and continue to monitor how I'm feeling. Thanks again!

About 8 weeks ago I had a blood test. I hadn't been feeling that great and felt like I may need to increase my dose. At that time I was on 87.5mg p/w injecting EOD. Yes, I know 87.5 seems like a wacky number. It's just that because I'm injecting EOD, its only a small amount per injection and it...

Thanks for that. I am getting a blood test tomorrow so I won't change anything until I get the results as I'll only be guessing what to change. When you say the HCG could be making me feel like shit, have you seen it cause anxiety and really low mood, like depression? Because that is the main...

Thanks for the reply. I do get the sensitive estradiol test. I am currently on 250iu HCG twice a week. Are you saying that increasing this dose will bring e2 up?

If anyone can give me any advice or insight, no matter how small, I'd really appreciate it. I'm struggling and pretty keen to try and figure this out.

I need some advice. I’ll try to keep this as short as possible with only relevant info. We tend to use different units here in Oz for things like Test and E2 so I will convert to the units you use there in US and Canada. In early march I started to feel like I had symptoms of high e2. I had...

Yes I've been finding my current protocol to be working well. I just figured if I could cut back from 3.5 injections pw to 2, it would be more convenient.

When I first started TRT around 10 months ago, my SHBG was around 21. Due to this, many on these forums recommended doing EOD injections, which is what I have been doing. I have noticed that over these past 10 months, my SHBG has been increasing slightly, with it being 30 on my most recent blood...

Thanks for that Simon. I have read that injecting 500iu or more of HCG can desensitise the leydig cells. However I've seen other doctors say this isn't the case. What's your take on this?

Vince Carter, I had my blood taken a couple of days ago to get my E2 checked (sensitive test). I should have the results by tomorrow hopefully. Vince, is this what you do? I've seen a lot of people saying they do HCG on non-Test injection days.

I have been on TRT for about 7 months. Up until this point I have only been taking Test Cypionate. I started HCG just over a week ago. My plan was to add in 250iu HCG twice a week, which is what I've done so far. I currently do my test injections EOD so I've planned to do HCG either Monday and...

Ok, so perhaps not the nicest topic to discuss but hey, I need to ask. So yeah, as the title suggests, as of late (perhaps the past month or so) my orgasms have been very average. And that's being kind. To be honest they've been crap. Also, I'm only producing a very small amount of semen. I've...
