I was placed on a beta at first and I hated the way it made me feel. I always felt cloudy. Just not sharp the way I feel while on trt. Was taken off that and immediately felt back to myself.
It did help the headaches and BP.
Well my BP has always been borderline and I didn’t want to admit it was trt related.
I did lower my dose but was put on a BP med. I’m hopimg that lowering the dose will allow me to get off the BP meds. The meds have their own sides.
Crazy thing is my BP wasn’t as high as others i know and they...
Thanks I value your input. I’ve been lurking around here long a while.
I did not jump to my own dosing. I was instructed by my DR.
I’ve learned through my own research that most physicians are not that up to speed on hormones.
I was started at 50 per week and was gradually moved from...
To be honest I’m not opposed to lower dose. I didn’t decide on the 200 by myself.
I’ve already dialed back to 160 and I’m thinking to go back to 140 or even 120.
Sounds like you may be on to something.
I do wake several times a night to Pee which I’ve never done before.
I was gonna call my dr today and see if he could change me to something else to try
Yes that’s the BP med. I was gonna call my doctor today about switching.
I did scale back the injection amount and went to every 3.5 and still headaches.
Long story but I’ll try to be brief I went on TRT for reasons similar to everyone else. I was mainly looking for increased libido because it was becoming an issue in my marriage
I am a 50 year old man. I am 5’5” and currently 168. I work out at least 6 days a week. I am the old guy who is in...
A little update on the headaches. After being on the med for a few weeks the headaches went away. I’ve been on the BP med for a few months now without a headache.
I now have a host of other sides from the medication. I’ll start another thread about that.
What a roller coaster ride TRT is/can...
I would describe the headache as slow to come on. They are most always at the back of my head and feel like constant pressure.
It’s not meal timing related and I once thought they were so I’m tuned In to my eating schedule.
Last labs Hemocrit was 49 and I just donated the 1st week of...
I hope this is the right section to post in. I’m looking for some relief from the headaches I’ve been plagued with for quite a while.
50yr male on TRT for 1.5 years. I currently inject IM 75ml on Tuesday and 75ml on Saturday.
I’ve tried to monitor every thing to track down of I can relate...
Honestly I felt great at 200 a week but suffered some erection issues. I decided to drop my dose down to where I am now. TT was off the eco lab charts at 1500.
Doc I’m seeing doesn’t test sensitive E2. I decided to have the labs done on my own just to see where I sit. Not a true trough as the...
OK so while we are discussing it is there any numbers that I should be shooting for or is it strictly off how you feel.
And how about the sides what specifically are you talking about? I could post my full labs
My bp has been pretty consistent on TRT and very close to the same as off.
I’ve...

Would like to have some labs done and wondered what’s the suggestion for someone that’s been on TRT for a year and a half.
Current doc doesn’t test for ShBG or ultra sen estriol.
Would like to make an appoint in the next few days.
Thanks.
Trying to set up some labs in SC. It says that SC is one of the states that is avail in but whenever I search my area no testing centers show up.
Am I doing something wrong?
I agree 100% with you. I inject say and tues. the last labs were taken on a Thursday AM.
hematocrit is 48.4 which is unchanged from the prior labs on the smaller dose.
Hemoglobin was 16.2 up from 14.8and RBC is 6.05 Up from 5.96
soooo lower the dose and have labs done after 6 weeks?
Take a...
Is there any reason to try a AI to bring E levels down or is it proportionaly close for my high T levels?
My other labs look good. My BP has always been a little on the high side but no higher while on TRT.
I’ve been on every 3.5 days for @5 months using test cyp 200 per week.
My levels last blood test were >1500 on the LabCorp scale and E2 was 69.
Mind you I don’t really think i have encountered any sides. Is the E2 or 69 alarming at all
I’m 48 years old and live a pretty active lifestyle...
