4 weeks into TRT, feeling worse/mood crashes.

Your estradiol could be up, but it's strange because you are not on that high of a dose. I'm a little surprised honestly that you are on TRT, because none of your numbers are bad, and the dose you're on is a real replacement dose. Meaning you might not much higher, if at all, than before you...

New Member Intro 54yr old triathlete
