[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 188092, member: 38109"] Estradiol follows testosterone, and that's what we see in your results; the level of estradiol is normal for the amount of testosterone, or maybe even a little low. The issue is that your testosterone is nearly double that of the average man in his prime, which is contributing to side effects like high HCT and subpar lipids. I would cut the testosterone dose by 20-40%. I've tried a similar reduction (-40+%), and feel better overall—also have better lipids. Only athleticism took a minor hit, which is a worthwhile tradeoff unless you're competing. Dr. Saya believes that high HGB/HCT may be a risk due to long-term stress on the vasculature. That's a good reason to bring them down. I agree that an informed patient should have a strong role in directing his treatment, including some experimentation within reason. But you must factor in the silent risks that exist even when you feel good. That recovery of SHBG with more frequent injecting is an interesting result. I wonder if it's due to the reduction in peak testosterone? [/QUOTE]
