[QUOTE="madman, post: 193879, member: 13851"] You still have not tested your SHBG which is critical as you need to know where it sits. Not only will it have a significant impact on TT/FT achieved but will also play a role in what injection frequency may suit you best. Your e2 is way too low and basically on the verge of crashing! As I stated earlier you just recently switched your protocol 2 weeks ago 160 mg/week --->80 mg every 3.5 days so your overall weekly T dose is still the same and top it off that you are also injecting hCG 500 IU 3 X week and unfortunately still taking the AI (although lower dose than the previous protocol) and as you can clearly see on the lab work results you just posted that your estradiol is horribly low. Good chances are you would feel like s**t let alone you are only 2 weeks in since switching up your protocol. Again we have no idea where your TT/FT level will sit on your current protocol as you are 2 weeks in and hormones are in flux and you will need to wait until blood levels stabilize (4-6 weeks) than have blood work done. I would drop the AI and although your TT/FT levels may very well still be too high in 4 weeks when you have blood work done because your weekly T dose of 160 mg (80 mg every 3.5 days) is still a fairly high dose let alone you are also injecting hCG 500 IU 3 X week we want to see where your e2 sits on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency) without the use of an AI. Dropping the AI will let your e2 come back up and as I stated above chances are your TT/FT levels may still be too high (current protocol) and come 4 weeks when you have labs done your e2 may very well come back high! Once labs are done if your TT/FT levels are still too high and depending on where e2 sits you may very well have room to lower your T dose further and avoid hopping back on the AI. You can also lower your T dose slightly now if you feel it is truly needed but keep in mind that you would need to start over and wait for blood levels to stabilize (4-6 weeks). [/QUOTE]
