I did a phlebotomy mid january.
mg 2x/ week and this protocol keep my hct rising slowly at 1point over 2 1/2-3 months. This is a slow down for me, so good news
Free T does not seem to want to come up at this dosage, but noticed E2jumped a good bit. That is as high as it has ever been.
Can not say i have noticed any thing other than maybe little bit bigger balls, not significant. Libido the same, cognitive functions and anxiety the same. Have notiiced a slight increase in emotional feelings, not the punch a hole in the wall type, the girl type!
Dhea runs 130’s (71-335),and dr calkin wanted me to start that at same time as adding hcg and going to 3x weekly. I felt that was too much chnage at once, so have not started. Not sure if i need to, not seeing alot of positive posts about it, mostly neutral posts.
is something to worry about, do you guys?
Also to raise free t do i need to add more T? Feeling pretty good, but could feel,better.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
