[QUOTE="andrewBwinter, post: 232991, member: 43256"] It's been an interesting couple of days. I went for blood work on Tuesday 72 hours after Saturday's injection. It's been 7 months since my last bloodwork and at 120mg / wk (e3.5d x 2) I.M. What I learned was: Total T - 690 Estradiol - 138 pmol/L - My specialist does not do a sensitive assay HCT - 53 - Talking to my clinician this morning she felt she had to stop TRT or lower the dose. (I go back Tuesday the 13th for another blood panel because things seem odd) February 2022 Total T - 955 Estradiol - 103 pmol/L HCT - 48.5 Here's where it gets weird: 6 days earlier on August 31, I did a blood panel for my ferritin. At that time, my HCT came back at 49.8 - I gained 3.2 in 6 days (maybe I was dehydrated) When I first started tracking my Total T back in 2016 I was: Total T - 730 (natural) Sept 2022 - 690 (exogenous) While there are probably too many factors to account for it seems odd that my E2 has gone up and my TT has gone down. Somebody once posted that they thought I was a "high aromatizer". Could be, but I still haven't hit "feeling good" day to day. Not sure I'm looking for answers but rather sharing an oddity that doesn't make sense to me nor my clinician. More like "does any of this make sense?" --A [/QUOTE]
