[QUOTE="madman, post: 123625, member: 13851"] VC gives sound advice! Mind you it would be better not to have to use an aromatase inhibitor when starting trt to see how the body responds to testosterone and to truly see how said dose of testosterone effects ones TT. FT and e2 (labs at 6 weeks).....but again some men are started on too high dose of testosterone and it is almost a given that they will have elevated e2 issues. Looking over your first set of labs pre-trt before you started hcg solo your SHBG was 33 nmol/L and increased to 41 nmol/L on hcg therapy (range 16-55) so the mean (mid range) range would be 35.5 nmol/L. The starting trt dose you were put on is rather high at 200 mg/week (100 mg every 3.5 days) and seeing as your SHBG is basically mid range at 33 nmol/L as long as it has dropped back down after stopping the hcg.....as you may know when one increases T, increased e2 will follow. Having a mid-range SHBG.....200 mg/week testosterone will more than likely have your T levels very high and I would say your e2 is also high. Having 25% bf will also increase the chances of aromatizing more of the T--->e2. [/QUOTE]
