[QUOTE="MarkM, post: 119777"] Vithat, Supplementing with DHEA will most likely increase your E2 more than anything else. Not sure that is what you need right now. Can you provide the ranges for the following you posted above: Testosterone Free Testosterone Estradiol SHBG Do you know if the Estradiol test was the Roche ECLIA methodology or the Sensitive test LC/MS/MS. If you have the lab results it will most likely say which one it is. If the Roche ECLIA, that is the wrong one and is for women, The proper test for men to measure estradiol is the LC/MS/MS assay (Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry). You likely have very high Free E2. Injecting 200 mg per week is a huge dose and is rarely successful for anyone. It is just too much at one time. Until things are figures out you might want to consider discontinuing the HCG, at least temporarily. Back to the injections.............based on your SHBG, you should probably be on an EOD (every other day) injection protocol You probably won't want to hear this but you should probably cut your testosterone dose down considerably as well. I would start off at 35 mg EOD which would give you a total of 245 mg on 7 injections across a two week period. You are currently injecting 400 mg over a two week period. So you be going from 200 mg per week in one injection to an average of about 125 mg per week across multiple injections. Some people freak out about lowering their dose of testosterone but that is just an ego/mental thing. More times than not it is the right thing to do. [/QUOTE]
