So I have to see her on April 19th so I went for blood work yesterday, after stopping ALL testosterone shots for the past 12 days, and I'm waiting my results. Remember, I was taking 14 units daily for 200 MG's total weekly, and when I had my blood work done at discounted labs, my total testosterone came in at 1143 NGDL, DHT at 87 NGDL, Free T at 324.1 PGML, Prolactin at 4.2 NGML, PSA at 1.2. I stopped ALL testosterone for 12 days and I'm now awaiting the results. My dick issues have been the very worst now these last few days.

[QUOTE="Drug350, post: 250257, member: 44769"] You are 100% correct. I'm not going to lie. I've been in a somewhat state of panic since week 4 on TRT because I'm having all sorts of dick issues. I'm pretty certain I aromatize testosterone really bad. I have a bit of gyno and my nipples seem to hurt me on any testosterone dose above even the lowest doses of 50 MG's weekly. My estrogen was crashed as I mentioned earlier, so I stopped all AI's, like 8 weeks ago and started HCG 3 weeks ago.
