[QUOTE="rayrock1, post: 189175, member: 31104"] Just got back my lab results. The doctor reviewed them. I told him that I had some left breast pain on the side of my left breast not the nipple area before I started TRT and noted that my left breast was more saggy in appearance, than the right side. He said he was not concerned by it. I mentioned maybe I should take Tamoxifen, he did not advise it. He suggested I donate blood and take Armidex .25mg once a week. I also have BPH which I was prescribed Cialis for 5mg daily, but have not taken yet,since I wanted to get my TRT protocol dialed in first. I have been on the following regiment for 8 weeks. My current protocol: 120mg Test Cyp per week split into 2 injections e3.5d 600 IU HCG split per week into 2 injections on non Test Cyp injection days 30 mg Armour Thyroid daily Low carb Keto diet usually less than 30 carbs [B][U]Lab Results:[/U][/B] Hemoglobin 17.8 (13.0-17.7) Hematocrit 52.0 (37.5-51.0) Cholesterol 293.0 (100-199) Triglycerides 83 (0-149) HDL 73 (greater than 39) VLDL 13 (5-40) LDL 207 (0-99) [U]Testosterone[/U]: Total LC/MS 1385 ng/dl (0-916) Free 50.44 ng/dl (5-21) PSA 1.2 (0-4.0) Estradiol sensitive LC/MS/MS 49.7 (8-35.0) T3 28 (24-39) T4 1.42 (.82-1.77) TSH 1.51 (1.7-8.6) The doctor mentioned that my high Estradiol was from the HCG, that lowering the dosage to 500 iu's a week will not make much difference. I thought that 600iu's per week was too low a dose to affect Test/Estradiol readings. He was not concerned about the high Testosterone values or Estradiol, said to leave protocol and just take Arimidex, see him in a month. He said he had patients as high as 60 on the Estradiol and made judgments based on symptoms of the patient. I am hesitant to take the Arimidex and wondering if I should try micro-dosing to achieve a lower Estradiol and Hemocrit levels after my blood donation. If so, what would be a good dosage/frequency? Should I micro-dose Test Cyp and HCG ? Any other suggestions? Thanks [/QUOTE]
