I've been lurking for a while. Finally went to have my levels checked. I did 3 test over the course of the previous month. 140, 130, and 170 were the numbers for Total T and 16 for E2, which is obviously terrible for a 32 year old. Was recommended to an Urologist and ended up being prescribed the following: 100 mg test cyp/per week along with 1500 IU HCG/per week on same day as test. Will be doing follow up blood work in 8 weeks to check levels.

Since you guys are the experts, does the protocol given to me by the Dr look normal to you all? Anything else I should look out for or do?

TIA!

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.
