[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 160618, member: 15832"] I have seen similar numbers between 7mg daily (49mg weekly) and 20mg EOD (80mg weekly), the only difference is estrogen, <35 and 53 on the EOD protocol. I used less testosterone the achieve those levels and I was not dealing with any excess, I had only what I needed. This will depend on the individual, but SHBG is a natural buffer for androgens. I guess it will depend on the binding force of your SHBG which can vary between individuals. Your body fat percentage will have a big impact on estrogen levels, but every now and then I see a guy who is lean and aromatising like crazy. Gyno is not as common as you may believe, in fact I don't see it much on Excelmale. I see a guy with gyno maybe every 4-6 months, that is not common. The more common things I see is the symptoms of high testosterone and estrogen which is 100% reversible. I think estrogen gets a bad rap on these forums, it's required for erections, libido, joints, bones just as much as testosterone, excess testosterone can cause mood problems like aggression and moodiness. Believe it or not, testosterone can also cause nipple burning sensations and water retention. Your doctor has a lot to learn and is compromising treatment at every step to save on healthcare costs, really she is concerned about excess lab testing which insurance companies dislike. When you take insurance companies out of the equation, treatment is no longer compromised. That's alright, you can go to Discount Labs and order your own estrogen testing if your doctor doesn't allow it in the future. Your pre-TRT estrogen levels will tell you how much testosterone is being converted to estrogen, this is invaluable for selecting the appropriate injection frequency. [/QUOTE]
