[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 15418, member: 696"] On the first part, yes, definitely agree, that was my point. There's two variables in play, and stopping the AI for one round will eliminate 50% of it. On the 2nd paragraph, you mentioned being towards the upper limit of that Roche assay. Here's the problem, it's not a sensitive or ultra-sensitive assay, and the measurement accuracy is totally different. Who's to say that you might be in the mid 30's with a Labcorp sensitive assay, which could mean you're right about where you need to be, or maybe just things just need a minor adjustment. I don't want to sound brash with saying this, BUT, it's just going to be virtually impossible to manage an effective protocol using that assay, and administering a 1mg tablet 1x per week. Reduce the spikes so downstream conversion isn't as excessive, and/or adjust the test medication to where better balance can be achieved. Even if you were 20 points over a desired range (say 55pg) on a sensitive assay, I'd suggest starting .25mg x 2, or at most .25 x 3 per week, with follow up E2 labs within 4 weeks. That's just my personal take, everyone has their own opinion. E2 is absolutely a great hormone for men to have, it just needs to be regulated to the right amount. [/QUOTE]
