I haven't got the Vitamin D lab results to hand but I did start supplementing it when I realised it could be improved. The last result I had was roughly around the 85 ng/ml mark . I will dig them up when I am home.

I am currently experiencing what I believe to be high E2 symptoms. I lived with low E2 for so long I know how that feels. My nipples are puffy, I get quite bad anxiety occasionally but can cope with it, feels like my heart is going to jump out! Lower libido (with low e2 I literally had none), Weak erections and no spontaneous. I know high and low E2 share similar symptoms but my last test was 44 pg/ml having been at 11 and below for two years. This is not the sensitive test as I am in the UK.

My fiance is Swedish so I am over there a lot. Need to make sure I can get it smoothed out so there are not going to be problems consistently! Sweden is very against a lot of things! Haha

I felt like HCG was a good way to test the waters in terms of TRT. I can admit I was a little apprehensive about starting Testosterone so this suited me. Now I have seen how I can feel (the first week on HCG was promising) I do not care how I get back there. Life is for living! If I have to go on Testosterone injections too so be it.

Thanks for taking your time to post.
