[QUOTE="zembla, post: 268444, member: 46131"] 49yo started trt. I just got back my 1st labs (8 wks) and the numbers are puzzling. High estrogen and hematocrit, [B]but trough TT and free T are really low[/B]. Labs were drawn day before injection Protocol: 60mg T cyp twice per week, subQ ; hCG 250iu twice per week Testosterone, total (ng/dl) 175 (ref 250-1100) originally 519 testosterone, free (pg/ml) 23.6 (ref 46-224) originally 51 estradiol (pg/ml) 93 (ref <39) originally 23 hematocrit 51.5% (ref 38.5-50) originally 44 The E2 and hct suggest more than enough peak T in my system, but I'm very confused why my trough levels are so low. Does anyone have experience with this? Subjectively the 1st month on T was great but quickly declined during the 2nd month. Also could the hCG be responsible for the elevated E2? [/QUOTE]
