    AIs and E2 from HCG

    I'll keep this simple, but I've read all sorts of things on this. Can the E2 increase experienced from adding HCG to your TRT be controlled via an AI? If not, then how an earth does anyone take HCG? My e2 shot up fom 35pg/mL to approx 80pg/mL. This has lead to an increase in libido but a...

    I am wondering if it is possible to have an immune response to HCG. I just added HCG to my trt and in the first week having flu symptoms. It is also flu season and it could be just coincidence and maybe I got sick.

    TRT and Muscle Loss

    Has anyone seen a correlation between high T levels and muscle loss? In other words, the higher your T levels are, the harder it is to maintain muscle mass.

    When testosterone isn't enough - major fatigue and brain fog.

I had 3-4 years of great results that improved my life tremendously(career, workouts, relationships, etc) Fast forward to the last 3...

    Posting in this thread for increased visibility, but mods feel free to move to the side effect forum if needed.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
