Thanks, this makes me hopeful that my current microdosing schedule will still work with Sustanon.

So I've been cruising with no sides and no AI on 200 mg/mL test cyp at 40mg EOD for a few months now. Trouble is we've just moved overseas and the doc says in this country all they can get is Sustanon. He's prescribed me 250 mg, one injection per two weeks, old fashioned style, which I will not...

We are moving to Europe and I am going to transition my TRT prescription over to Balance My Hormones out of the UK. Unfortunately, they only ship single use ampoules to the country we will be living in, which will be expensive at 40mg EOD. They are proposing I inject larger amounts less often to...

Some updates here... I had two labs taken, one to try to capture peak T (~12 hours post injection) and one to try to capture peak e2 (prior to injection Monday morning after having no injections over the weekend). I wanted to check the delta between peak and trough to see if it was excessive...

I've been on nearly a year total, and increased the AI to M-F at the beginning of April 2023. The "life turmoil" has been happening for a year and a half or so, so I got to skip over anything resembling a honeymoon phase for sure. It seems to me that 160mg (total I'm on weekly) is a pretty high...

Thanks, yeah this situation started during my first failed round of HRT with Clomid. I actually have no idea what it feels like to be on TRT without life being a shitshow. The motivation to address the problems is definitely there and I'm grateful for it, just would love to ditch the occasional...

That was actually my thinking, as I'd love to find a level that lets me ditch the AI. For what it's worth, this lab was from an injection day, so these numbers are likely on the low end of what I run 12 hours after and beyond.

Of course, sorry: Total T: 830.2 ng/dL Free T: 200.6 pg/mL SHBG: 26.9 nmol/L Sensitive Estrodial: 40.4 pg/mL

So my doc has me on 60mg test cyp M W F and 0.125g anastrozol M-F with nothing at all on weekends. It's been this way for a number of months and things are generally good. Labs show good T levels and "acceptable" e2. Strength, recovery, and libido are great, but mood is not consistently good. I...

Was just prescribed 5mg tadalafil daily. Took 5mg for a couple days but it was working a bit too well; now I know what sleeping on a water bottle would feel like. Started cutting them to 2.5mg and did that for a few days, ED effects were excellent. The only problem however was trying to sleep...

Hey, appreciate the response. It is slowly but surely improving. I did share it with my doc as well, he just wasnt around until Monday so I figured I'd check in here.

I received my 6 week lab results (attached) after starting my TRT protocol. Was started on 150mg test cyp subq split up on M, W, F. Doc said to take 0.5mg anastrozole "as needed" but not to exceed more than 0.5mg per week. This lab was actually taken at peak (Tuesday afternoon after Monday...

So I had my morning subq love handle injection 4 days ago and it didn't go very smoothly. Syringe was sticky and may have pressed too fast, and was more painful than normal. Decent bleed afterward but I just applied pressure and did not even need to bandage it to get it to stop. Well, as of...

Propranolol will crush your energy and impair the heart's ability to 'pump up' when it needs to. Certainly could be related to your trouble.

So just got some fresh T and E labs and figured I'd share. This was just shy of 6 weeks after ceasing all clomid and anastrozole; the draw was Friday the 6th and my 6 week anniversary was Monday the 9th. I'm still having pretty crippling anxiety problems, and it looks like my estrodial is...

Figured I'd update the Live Journal of Woe, if for no other reason that it gives me something to engage my mind on and is therapeutic. Monday the 9th of May marks 6 weeks since I discontinued Clomid, and today marks 6 weeks since my last dose of Anastrozole. I now seem to be in a recurring...

Thank you so much for the support, seriously. Easily the worst ~6 weeks of my life. I've had food poisoning multiple times, dislocations, "stress" with finances and relationships, but I have never before felt like I was literally losing my mind and personality at the same time. I'm so glad to...

Thanks. I'm going to get a fresh lab with no biotin interference to conclusively figure out my Free T/E2 ratio. With that I'll be able to either do something about crashed E2 or rule it out.

It's been 5 weeks and you've said I'm only past one half-life; what is the generally understood half-life of the zuclomiphene isomer?

Very interesting, thank you for this.

Appreciate that reply. I searched the forum further and it looks like 6-8 weeks is a reasonable time for things to settle naturally. I'm only at 5 weeks and have been improving so I'm going to wait it out.

Yeah, after bixt's reply to my post I researched further. I think crashed E2 hasn't been showing up on labs due to my multivitamin having 1,367% of the daily recommendation of Biotin. Would crashed E2 present as low estrodial on the sensitive test or is there a separate test for E2? I'm...

So, I actually agree with this while I was still taking both. But do you think the fact that I'm still having wild anxiety episodes 5 weeks later could be attributed to the anastrozole despite the much shorter half life than zuclomiphine? Honest question, I'm new to this...

I'd just like to strongly warn anyone against taking regular Clomid for HRT purposes. I'm almost 5 weeks out since my last dose and am still nowhere near myself. My life has basically been put on hold for over a month as I have no way to know when I'm going to be "triggered" and freak out about...

From what I've read, there are a few things this doc did wrong: 1. Prescribed Clomid instead of Enclomiphine 2. Started at 25mg ED out of the gate; seems like 12.5mg is a better place to start, and possibly not even every day. 3. Two 1mg doses of Anastrozole per week is extremely high. He also...

Thank you so much, seriously.

Firstly, wanted to say thank you to everyone here as I've gotten a lot out of searching this forum while dealing with all of this, and also found Defy Medical here who has been very helpful. Back in August 2021 I had a lab done showing Total T at 346 with Free T at 43.7 pg/mL. My primary doc...
