[QUOTE="tomas, post: 70302, member: 15507"] Started on a daily regiment of testosterone cream the first week was good then it has been all down hill from there. It has been just over one month now and I am feeling worse everyday. After I take it I feel more swollen than before. Tomorrow I am going to get some blood drawn to see if I can figure out what the heck is going on. What would be the recommended tests to have done? From what I have read it sounds like conversion to estradiol. So wondering if i should just order free and total testosterone and sensitive estradiol or a complete panel? Note I tried TRT years ago and had the same symptoms and my managing doctor did not run any follow up tests or really have any suggestions at the time so I ended TRT. So this is nothing new but I am not sure what would be causing this issue and would love to run tests and figure it out once and for all so I can get dialed in properly this time. Before starting TRT I naturally run borderline low on free and low on total. [/QUOTE]
