[QUOTE="Fireproof, post: 43775, member: 13038"] I started TRT on pellets. Yes - they helped. BUT I found that I only felt "great" the first month to month and a half after insertion of the pellets. They led me to believe that the absorption is pretty linear over the 4-5 months. It's not. I had a huge spike the first month or so. Then month 2 I felt "okay". Then month 3 and 4 i felt like it was a waste of money because I was feeling symptoms of low-T again. Not only that - the spike in T led to spikes in estrogen like you are experiencing. So every time I get my insertion - I had to prepare for bloating, tender nipples, and extreme acne outbreak. We tried to manage it with DIM alone - didn't help. Then we tried Anastrozole. But they didn't have me taper it - they just told me to stay on it. So the first month after insertion the anastrozole finally helped keep e2 in check. But then I think it crashed my e2 in months 3 and 4 as my T levels dropped. Anyway - after 2 years of that - I researched myself and found pellets are NOT the ideal TRT method (far from it). The problem was - I was using an HRT clinic that only specialized in Pellet therapy. They didn't offer injections or prescribe for self-injection. (In reality - they were just interested in selling their pellet-therapy, not treating the patient in the best manner possible). So I quit going and searched for other solutions. [B]Highly recommend you figure out a plan to get off of pellets. [/B] Fast forward to today, after being with Defy, not only do they effectively manage my T and E levels, but also other important things like DHEA, Thyroid, etc. I'm feeling the best I've felt in 15 years (at 47 years old), my T levels are consistently at the high-end of the range where I feel best, sex drive is up, depression and lethargy are GONE, and acne is minimal to nonexistent. Like others I inject T-Cyp every 3.5 days along with HCG and am convinced of the value of frequent injections for steady hormone levels. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
