[QUOTE="McBeavy, post: 206438, member: 42627"] My take is dosage is likely too high, as well as using hCG, which while preserving testicular size and some endogenous testosterone, can cause issues in some people. Plus using an AI, (even in low doses) can result in lowering E2 too much. I can tell you from personal experience low E2 will cause sleep issues. I'm an advocate of starting off T-therapy using testosterone alone, say 100mg in divided doses (50mg Monday/Thursday). Then get labs at 5-6 weeks and see where everything sits. It's very difficult to get dialed in with too many variables in the mix. Did you get bloodwork done prior to staring? If so, it should've included, at a minimum, total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), estradiol (E2), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). [/QUOTE]
