Right, me too. It was 49 pg/ml last week. So not crazy but my baseline E2 on TRT was about 25. I've never need an AI. My symptoms were high anxiety mostly, and kind of a "weak" feeling physically. Not enjoyable.

Saw the urologist today; he told me to stay on the 500 iu HCG 3x a week and he wants to add armidex 1mg every day and recheck labs in a couple weeks. That dose seems excessive to me?? He wants me off the test although he said 30mg a week is likely having little effect anyway.

Gotcha. I just started doing shallow IM with an insulin syringe, I liked it as well. I actually didn't mind the 25ga in the quad but scar tissue does build up slowly.

Curious, why subQ and not just IM for test?

Awesome, thanks for the links. UPDATE: I dropped my HCG to 500 IU 3x/wk and added about 30mg of test 1x per week. Libido returned the next day and the anxiety sx I was having are dramatically better. Going to see the urologist monday to review my changes. No data on sperm count right now...

Interesting, I will consider that. 4000+ weekly is definitely too much. My buddy was on a similar dose for fertility as mono-therapy and he had some major mood/anxiety problems as well. I suppose it affects everyone differently but I want off this train.

4000 split into 3 injections

Test 862 ng/dl E2 49 pg/ml I knew it had to be estrogen. I've read that AI's dont really work in HCG-induced elevated E2?

My doc is checking T and hopefully E2 so we'll see. I take no AI's and never have, so I'm thinking it's high E2.

Greetings all; Quick background: I'm 38. Was on TRT for a couple years starting about age 34. Did great for 2 years, then decided to slow-taper off to see if my testes still had any life in them. Initially I did ok, but slowly over about a year my symptoms came back---low libido, loss of...
