Greetings to everyone from Portugal!!
I´ve been on TRT with TE 250mg/ml every two weeks since I was 18. I´m now 32 years old.
Recently I changed my TRT to T undecanoate 1000mg/4ml. I was never fond of this long acting ester. I tried it once many years ago when it hit the portuguese market and went back to TE immediatly because I didn´t like the way it felt.
But I decided to give it another try after all this years. I´ve always had problems with high hematocrit and high levels of oestradiol. I corrected the hematocrit issue after reading Nelson Vergel´s book (great book by the way)!
I took the first 3 shots with 8 weeks apart and the main goal is to stretch that time until a 12 week period.
Before my third shot I did some blood test:
Total T 683 ng/ml; Free T 24.22 pg/ml; E2 63.7 pg/ml; hemoglobin 17,4 g/dl; hematocrit 50,1%
I was quite amazed by the T levels because I didn´t feel so well. But I could´t help noticing, that my E2 levels were almost 3 times higher than my free T levels, so I asked my doctor if I could try an AI and he refused.
So I asked my pharmacist if he could get me some arimidex, which he did, and took it for 2 weeks only, half a pill every 3 days and felt great. I stopped it because I don´t have any frame of reference and I don´t want to lower my oestardiol to dangerous levels.
So what I´m asking is, can I develop some kind of resistance to arimidex?
And finally, let´s say that I start taking it (half a pill twice a week) and finally correct the levels of E2. If I stop taking it, is there any chance of the levels of E2 go "off the charts" as I stopped inhbiting aromataze?
Sorry for my english I hope you understand it!!
