[QUOTE="klepp0906, post: 165221, member: 22245"] I have not. When i started TRT i immediately retained a ton of water. Scary amount. Ankles blew up and all kinda gnarly stuff. I started on an AI immediately thereafter, the water went away, and I havent looked back. I usually take .25mg every other day, or every third day. Trying to keep it to a minimum and would love to go without, but even with it at e3d my e2 on dose day is at 30. I have to imagine it would be substantially higher without. Do you think its worth trying? Each time ive tried to change before Id end up lethargic and losing morning wood etc. Unsure if it was related to elevated/elevating E2 directly, or simply things being changed and my body re-doing its thing. Like other "common" ideas surrounding trt - the idea you need to be around 22 has become so pervasive, any time ive found myself higher i'd try to modulate my dosing to get it down some. Here are my last 3 labs/protocols. I keep a sort of diary but each time my doctor ends up drawing something different no matter what I tell him so if its barren, its cause he didnt pull those labs for that session. 8/27/19 (50mg E3D/.25E3D) SUBQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Testosterone 895 Free Testosterone 152 SHBG 38 E2 30 E2 Serum - Estrone - Total Estrogens - Hematocrit 49.2 PSA .88 DHT - 517 Cholesterol 121 HDL 50 LDL 60 5/11/19 (50mg E3D/.25E3D) IM ---------------------------------------------- Total Testosterone 1192 Free Testosterone 179 SHBG 46 E2 27 E2 Serum 28.2 Estrone 26.3 Total Estrogens 54.5 Hematocrit 50.9 PSA .74 DHT 480 Cholesterol HDL LDL 2/22/19 (60mg E3D/.25EoD) IM ----------------------------- Total Testosterone 1280 Free Testosterone 192 SHBG 47 E2 <25 E2 Serum 14.9 Hematocrit 51.2 PSA .9 DHT 660 Cholesterol 119 HDL 46 LDL 60 I have more going back further if necessary.
