[QUOTE="Luca_03, post: 129564, member: 18297"] Hi All, I was on a really bad TRT regimen for many many years (inject 300mg once every 3 weeks). I did not take HCG with my dose either. I was never monitored nor had blood panels. I was taking this dose from 2010 until 2018. I never bothered to get blood panels or check my hematocrit or E2 or anything really. When I met my wife she did research and told me my regimen is bad. She said I need to do blood panels and get a better dose. Anyway, We found a doc who gave me a better protocol. 3 months ago he tested me and saw how bad my regimen is. [B]My total testost. was 67, my free testost.(direct) was 5.3 and estradiol was 7.8[/B]. He suggested a new regimen [B](0.32ml TRT & 350IU HCG 2x a week (mon&thurs).[/B] I did this regimen for the past 3 months. Everything seems to be good. The testes are still atrophied though. Maybe because I was on such a bad dose for so long theyll take longer to become fuller. I dont know why they havent become fuller after 3 months on HCG. So for the past 3 months I followed my docs new regimen did my followup panel a couple weeks ago and the results show some improvement: ([B]total testost.=504, free testost.=15, estradiol sensitive=57 (labcorp results).[/B] I did my injection on thursd and had the blood panel on a monday pre-injection. Maybe the 504 represents the trough level not a peak level. Anyway I feel fine on this regimen, no issues with nipple sensitivity or any bad E2 symptoms. Doc says he can increase HCG to 500IU to help with atrophy and can increase TRT to 0.35ml to get more optimal numbers. He wants to slowly and gradually increase my levels. He suggested adding anastrazole to combat future E2 symptoms on the new regimen. But I am hesitant to add this due to its side effects. I dont know if E2 symptoms will arise with upping the TRT and HCG. My question: 1. Do you think a person should wait for estrogen symptoms to arise before starting anastrazole OR should a person be put on anastrazole right away? The doctor said I can wait. But should I wait for symptoms to hit me or start anastrazole on my next injections? 2. If I start the new regimen of 0.35ml TRT and 500IU HCG 2x a week, when should I expect E2 symptoms to start happening? Would they happen after the first week? 2 weeks? Month? Basically will they happen beyond a reasonable doubt or is it possible I am one of the lucky few who wont have E2 symptoms on the new dose?
