[QUOTE="murrayhewitt, post: 209179, member: 28144"] I’ve been on TRT for 3 years now and it has been a constant roller coaster. I believe I have finally narrowed down my issue. I’ve always been a low aromatizer and constantly struggled with headaches, achy joints and fatigue and anxiety Only taken one dose of an AI right in the beginning before knowing better. Here’s my protocols that I’ve tried 50mg 2x week 500 hcg 2x week 20mg EOD 500 hcg 2x week 10mg daily 500 hcg those were all in my first year. Felt like crap majority of the time. So I tried out the scrotal cream that was all the rage. Felt like crap at first but finally started to feel better and stayed with it for a year or so. Realized though anytime I took anything that remotely had antiestrogenic properties I felt like shit. I was on cialis, tanked my e2, hell even eating a good amount of broccoli would lower it for a few days due to the DIM. I know it doesn’t seem plausible but literally tried it numerous times. So I got off the scrotal cream and back to injections. 50mg x 2 again with 1,000 hcg. Been there for 6 months. Same situation. Now my libido is always extremely high and I’m a very hairy dude. In fact I had a super high libido even before trt with a T level of 200. (Had all the other negative effects tho hence why I decided to get on trt). So recently got lab work done. T-566 E2 (sensitive)-15 SHBG-25 DHT-137 So my dilemma is I seem to convert a large amount of T to DHT which is driving my e2 down. Haven’t had any cialis or any other e2 lowering substances. I know how awful fin, saw palmetto and all those other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are. But how else can I lower my DHT not because I’m scared of high DHT but afraid of the constant low e2. My e2 was undectable when natural. Would lowering to a super low weekly dose be an option? Also my Dr. is okay not to knowledgeable on my issue but is open to listening and trying things. Thanks for any input! [/QUOTE]
