I have been on trt for last 2 years. for the last year Im on 420mg testc/week. split between 2 doses. 1000mcg hcg split between two doses. and .75mg arimdex split 3 doses. My test results are irrelivant because i foolishly would skip injections prior to test to skew numbers so my dr would up dose. After lurking here i realize its not optimal for me. starting a few months back my bp elevated, bad mood, ed, and poor sleep. SO i decided to lower my dose. on the 8th i started 63mg testc, 300mcg hcg every mwf. i dropped the adex all together for now. this week (2nd) my bp dropped some, random frequent erections, and i feel more calm. so my two questions are what test should i do and how should i time test with injections. I plan on testing around mid november which will be roughly 6 weeks on this new schedule. these are test i have planed to get please correct me if i need more or less.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
