Hi Guys my first post
I've been on Testosterone therapy for about 18 months and am currently transitioning from 200MG every two weeks to 100MG per week self injecting and after two months I will probably transition to 50 MG twice a week in a month then maybe 40 MG every three days by year end.
I like to do things in orderly steps and get plenty of bloodwork at each phase to make sure I'm going in the right direction. My doctor and endo are very supportive and will order any labs I ask for and my health plan will pay for them
Age 54
Physically active competitive rower
Starting Testosterone 249
This blood work was done right before my twice monthly shot so the very bottom of my cycle when I was on 200 MG every two weeks.
Free Testosterone 431 PMOL/L
SHBG 31
Testosterone 528
Albumin 3.8
Estradiol Ultra-sensitive 26.7
I don't feel the crash people talk about maybe just a bit lazy at the end of the cycle
The therapy has been transformational for me giving me much more energy and making me far more competitive I see it especially in my rowing and recovery from hard workouts.
To me it seems like these results are pretty good and all other tests blood sugar, hematocrit, cholesterol, PSA are according to my doctor very very good although they have bumped up slightly since starting testosterone therapy.
So the question is would there be any reason for me to consider anything else to limit or lower my estradiol or should I just check it again in a year?
Thanks for the help
