[QUOTE="swellco, post: 54179, member: 14314"] Short recap: Started TRT treatment 7 weeks ago. Protocol was 125 test cyp once a week on Monday along with .5 of arimidex. 500 of HCG on Thursday. Initial blood work taken showed 161 total T and E2 at 13.4 with ranges 7.6 - 42.6. Total T was in house and the pre TRT was minimal with just a complete blood count and psa which were normal (I posted my labs in previous post). So here is my dilemma. I was not happy with the treatment and knowledge of the clinic I started with for some obvious reasons. I am transitioning to Defy but there will be a wait till I can get all the pre-requisites and an appointment. I just did my 6 week labs. I did labs on the Monday morning before my injection. these were the results: Total Testosterone 267 241-827 Free Testosterone 84 47-244 Estradiol 23pg/ml <39.9 DHEA-So4 372mcg/dl 55-244 (flagged High) LH <0.1 mIU/ml 1.5-9.3 (flagged low) Also iron was slightly low So what I want to do is change protocol to splitting 125 dose to twice a week on Monday and Thursday. Omit the Arimidex due to some joint popping and pains. I believe I was low to begin with and probably didn't need it. I think it was making my E2 too low (input would be great). And finally pinning 250 HCG in between injections. I would greatly appreciate those with knowledge to give me some guidance while I transition to Defy. I already split my dose today, so, kind of just went with it. When would be best to do the HCG? I have read endless posts and all stickies. Just too much info to digest in so little time, but I am getting there. Thank you all for all the informative posts. [/QUOTE]
