[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 124207, member: 18023"] I am not sure why you went on TRT, but be that as it may be, one other note. Your total testosterone only says greater than 1500, you don't know how much greater. Your E2 might be as expected if you TT was 2800+, your dose of testosterone is very high by most people's standards. You will need a test that includes Testosterone, Total LC/MS-MS and E2 Sensitive. It should say something like the following. Actual Total Testosterone levels will be provided with this test if levels exceed 1500. ======================================= I would compare prices between discountedLab on this website and privateLabs, and whatever other source you have. Sometimes there is a big price difference. ======================================= I think the low carb diet Vince mentioned, or some other diet to lower Cholesterol, would be best. Though you could always look to go on a statin, I would rather try diet changes first. Your weight going up 10lbs without any diet changes sounds like water retention, which wouldn't be surprising with a very high TT and what is no doubt a high E2 even when you do the sensitive test.
