I'm not very prone to gyno in general (have been taking domperidone to improve my digestion for 2 years now, another drug that's also used to create tits in trans women but I still have no tits). I just stopped taking my domperidone. My tits did get sensitive from the E (although maybe that was...

Yes I'm sure the nolva is real, that's why I got the brain fog, fatigue and muscle aches which I have anyway but always gets worse with low E. I only took it once day before yesterday and haven't taken it since, and am hoping to feel fine again soon. I'm finding that my body seems to enjoy...

Took my first tamoxifen tablet 20mg yesterday and wow it's painful! Achy joints, headache and feverish feeling today. Was unable to work today. I've always been sensitive to anti Es. Won't be taking anymore and I hope this tamox wears off soon as it feels like death!

Nope! that's like trying to do that to end a trt cycle...I'd have to drain all the blood in my body and die in the process lol. Just gotta get nolva. Haven't got any psychological symptoms yet, just a bit more sociable than usual (but that could also be due to upping T from 55mg to 75mg per...

Update: paid someone to post me tamoxifen, should receive that in a few days. The worst thing is that my previously very mild hyperthyroid (borderline low TSH) seems to have become much worse and proper hyperthyroid (based of symptoms). Previously slept 5-6h/night, now I sleep 2h/night. That's...

Would SERMS act on the estrogen receptors in a specific location only (eg. brain) or the receptors in breast tissue also? My fear is getting breasts. My E2 levels are already over 1000 according to my dosage.

So far just increased libido. I took zinc and boron as they're the only anti Es to hand, so it might be due to them (increased free T combined with the extremely high E). E should start to peak over the coming days.

I've been very foggy after dealing with a thiamine paradox reaction that won't go away (long story - I have CFS, so used thiamine to treat it). Hence this morning, instead of TRT I pinned Estradiol Valerate without realising. The dose was 20mg - which is roughly equivalent to 40 oral 2mg...

Please try repeating and summing each graph separately. I'll try doing the same, but not sure what program to use. I think nightly prop injections are the best protocol due to mimicry of natural diurnal variation in young men, but a graph will show if we'd need to add a slower ester to maintain...

Not true, prop falls sharply at 24h (+/- 6h). For some people (eg. Vince Carter) this can be a dramatic noticeable fall in levels, within a day. With daily injections of prop, everyone experiences a dip before injection (look at the prop graph, superimposing several daily injections creates...

didn't notice any peaks and troughs?

Best to do it at night to mimic diurnal variation of young healthy males. It doesn't peak quickly like Enanthate (6h post injection), instead it takes 24h to peak, which corresponds to 12h when pinning daily.

You changed several things simultaneously so you cannot identify the cause. I suspect its more likely because you changed the dose of Testosterone. 70mg prop = 80mg Cyp, yet you jumped to 90mg, so in order to know which ester you do best on you need to try 80mg prop/cyp.

Let us know about your lab results! Probably best to get T values at peak (12h post injection) and trough (24h post injection) as T prop peaks at around 24h (+/-6h) and then drops within a couple hours to almost nothing. So if its peaking at 18h for you then it'll drop to almost nothing for the...

You posted this a while ago, but I'll offer my two cents. I've had a lot of success with aromasin, but microdosed at 1/100 pill once a week. Studies have shown that 2.5mg has the same effect as 25 and 50mg. So I need even less than that. As to whether it'll be a better choice, that depends -...

It mimics natural daily rhythm only if taken at night. Otherwise your T peaks when it should trough and troughs when it should peak.

Propionate takes much longer to peak than enanthate. Enanthate peaks in 12hours, propionate peaks in 24-48h. On daily dosing both would peak within 12h, as with any ester.

Oh some confusion here, my posts were aimed at original poster Eudes who wanted to lower E2, and I wrongly assumed you were quoting his labs. Apologies Vince for the confusion. @eudes In my personal experience, 0.25mg (you read that right, 1/100 of tablet) every two weeks brought my E2 from 60...

Since your free T is significantly out of range, I think lowering dose could work. You could lower dose to 2/3 of what you currently pin, and your free T would still be above maximum range, yet your E2 would lower. You could even halve your dose and your free T would still be at the top of the...

Do you just do it for increasing fertility/testicular size/estrogen or is it used to improve the feeling on TRT (by replenishing FSH or some other hormone). I don't need fertility/big balls/high E2 currently, but would happily do anything to feel as optimal as possible!

Why does stopping HCG make you feel crap? I thought HCG was for fertility only...could it be that the reason so many of us are struggling for years to feel good on TRT is the induced deficiency of FSH? And what if LH deficiency also matters?

I got high E2 symptoms from E2 = 40 as well. Whats your Total and free T levels? If you're a low SHBG guy it could be as simple as lowering your dose (how much do you pin?). I was low SHBG and at peak had E2=40 T=1420 (trough not tested). Halving my dose worked beautifully for me.

If you don't have ethanol or vodka, you can even use water (25ml to dissolve 25mg) in a jar, let it dissolve. Shake it up before pulling out 1ml (or whatever dose) you need. Low dose naltrexone is often used in this manner. Just be sure to shake it before drawing to disperse the aromasin evenly...

I'm amazed that you need so much aromasin - must be expensive. Have you tried letrozole? Its significantly stronger than aromasin, so instead of several expensive tablets a day you could have a fraction of a tablet a week - much cheaper. I'm nervous to even tell people about letrozole as its so...

Safety of reusing disposable plastic insulin syringes. - PubMed - NCBI This conclusion gives me peace of mind - if its safe for diabetics it should be safe for trt users as the only difference is the fluid?

Oh, so if I understand correctly, you reuse each syringe 3 times - by filling it once and pinning from it 3 times? And each time you just change the needle?

Oh, I use a syringe and preload 0.2ml (of 300mg/ml) = 60mg for the week. I then inject a tiny bit daily and switch out the needles - I didn't think this was so bad because I'm switching out the needles? Otherwise the daily quantity (0.0286ml) is impossible to measure out as its so tiny!

I like that you match your SHBG with your E, very smart!

PubMed Central Image Viewer. I prefer to use square root because its simpler and there's no unknown constants (whereas in that formula a and b are unknown, and it takes several blood tests and mathematical extrapolation to calculate a and b). Also, do you even agree with their rectangular...

What was it that your body didn't like about daily injections?

You do, but in the UK you can get a prescription online by filling out a form. I said I wanted it for my "50 year old wife". Much quicker than spending months trying to explain and convince NHS Doctor about the real reason. I use 2mg tablets, but 1mg works too - titrate accordingly. For the 1mg...
