[QUOTE="Finallycured, post: 33679, member: 12892"] Hi, I am a 54 y/o doing trt for about 6 months. Dose is 400mg T cyp two times a month. Major issue was depression and lower doses were not that effective but 400mg is effective. The twice monthly schedule is also good; more frequent (one a week) made no difference in mood. Also, re libido, this dose and schedule was optimal. I really like urologist and he insists on shots being done in office- more frequent than current just not practical due work. I see people use his name on other forums as a "go see this this guy...." so don't want to change hoping "grass will be greener...." I live in S. Florida. Total T is always in the low 800's via Labcorp 347-1197 scale. Nothing has changed with that for the past 4 months. E is a different story. Highest it had been through Nov. was 40 via Quest < = 39 but in terms of libido, morning wood, etc., everything was perfect. This changed when "I insisted" on taking adex because of what I had read. I took 1mg 3 x week starting about mid January (1/12-1/19) and libido and wood totally disappeared. I only did this for a week- meaning 3 doses. Then I stopped taking it. Since then, my E got really high (see test results 2/8 and 2/12) and I tried the adex again (dose/dates next to 2/8 test results) but now E is too low again (no libido or wood). Results are below. Please, if anyone can offer a dosing schedule to potentially end this see saw effect, I would be very grateful! 2/4 Total T 885 ng/dl 347-1197 L (past 4 months ranged from 830-895) 2/8 Total Estrogens 207 pg/ml 40-115 Labcorp (I paid for extra test and forgot to do just Estradiol but it's still twice normal). (BEGAN taking adex again- 1 mg e3d on 2/10) 2/12 Estradiol 75 pg/ml < = 39 Quest (re-checked it quickly after realizing above was just total estrogen) 2/27 Estradiol 13 pg/ml 7-42 Labcorp (need help with suggestions re what dose of adex to reduce to and how frequently- it needs to climb back up to 20-30 based on what others have written feels best/is safest level- though for me this might be low to mid 30s but not fly by those numbers and be too high again) Other bloodwork- metabolic and cbc all consistently stay in range. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
