I started TRT 3/15 and labs done on 3/31. It is a confusing situation as to why I had labs drawn that early (switched doctors). Anyways, my labs looked great and I felt great. High total T, high free T, normal E2 (was at 35, range was 8-35). Thyroid levels normal. Raging libido and erections, much less anxious, more confident.
Now, roughly 6 weeks after beginning treatment, I am feeling like my old self again! I am sleeping like 10 hours a night and still wake up feeling tired (which is weird because I feel like I am sleeping deep). Had a sleep study a few days ago and I do not have sleep apnea (surprisingly, I had mild sleep apnea before starting TRT, but never used a CPAP). Besides the daytime tiredness, my libido is absent and no erections (even at night/early morning). I am feeling more anxious and depressed again. Also, it feels like my digestion has slowed down so much. Obviously, I need to get my labs tested again but can't afford it at the moment to be honest. Does it sound like my E2 has spiked?
Note: For these 6 weeks of TRT, I have been using a compounded cream through a local doctor. I will begin doing injections through Defy next week.
