Hey folks - new here, long time lurker though!
Started TRT around 9 weeks ago. 42 yrs old. 120 a week of cypionate, 500 x 2 hCG weekly.
So far, feeling good. My starting stats in SI units:
At a recent blood test around 8 weeks in, they are now:
No obvious high estogen side effects. Mood has been stable, no nipple pain, no obvious water weight or other issues. I am up about 10lbs overall, but I've also been hitting the gym hard and trying to put on some mass (was 178lbs at 5'8, now around 189). I also look leaner, though I'm under no illusion this is muscle and expect it's water redistribution and fat.
Is that E level anything to be concerned about?
Someone else said to watch for erectile issues at that level. So far, erections have been better than ever and libido has been through the roof (almost annoyingly so). Was never low to begin with but damn.
Anything I should be watching for? Next blood test is in a few weeks.
Thanks!
