Hi from Scotland

Hi all,

I'm xib. I'm a 48-year-old from Scotland, UK. I'm about a year into "proper" TRT after self-administering it since July 2018. For me, self-administration was OK, but there difference between that and doing it through a clinic is night and day in my limited experience.

Right now, I'm at the stage where I'm exploring the idea of reducing my dosage until I settle down the nagging E2 sides that I've been experiencing recently. I'm doing this responsibly though, and as much as they aren't popular, I'm using minimal amounts of Anastrozole as a temporary band aid until I get everything settled.

I've actually been a member of this forum for just under a couple of years now but this is my first time posting (I think). Just thought I'd introduce myself.

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.
