[QUOTE="madman, post: 203292, member: 13851"] You just started trt, added hCG and an AI let alone your dysfunctional HPG axis has not even shut down yet! The best piece of advice would be to start low and go slow. Although your dose is far from absurdly high 140 mg/week split (70 mg every 3.5 days) with an SHBG 28-30 nmol/L (normal) you can rest assured that your trough TT/FT will be sky-high let alone estradiol (most likely the reason why you were started on an AI)! Top it off that the addition of hCG will bump up your T and e2. Unfortunately, an AI was thrown into the mix off the hop. This could have been easily avoided by starting off on a much lower weekly dose of T let alone even with the dose you were prescribed you may have never needed it as we have no idea how you will feel even if estradiol ends up being really high. Would have been more sensible to start on T-only protocol 100 mg/week split (50 mg every 3.5 days) to see how your body reacts to testosterone only and where such protocol will have trough TT/FT/estradiol levels let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit. The addition of hCG or possibly an AI (micro-doses) could be added if need be once you see how your body reacts to a T-only protocol.
