[QUOTE="probablyatworkqq, post: 114194, member: 17562"] Gonna post this here, I didn't get any help on the reddit trt sub. First three months on TRT I felt so damn good. Couple changes have happened since original protocol. I am 5 months in now. (Total) Changed to a doc covered by insurance. I don't use HCG or an AI anymore - will explain E2 was previously higher than this test here, and honestly I am primary hypo - didn't feel it was doing that well for me and just raised E2 even more. Kids aren't an issue. I don't want any. AI - I was using Arimidex - my only gripe with arimidex... I had only one side effect, and that was heart palpitations with this medication. It sucked and didn't like that feeling at all. As soon as I discontinued Arimidex, it fixed itself in a week. Not sure why, and didn't matter the dose. Current new doc won't prescribe an AI anyway. (Which sucks) No, I don't want to change doctors, it was hard to find one as is. If I have to find an online source i'd rather that. At least this doc knows T converts to E - other doctors laughed at me and said higher T suppresses E.... LOLWTF? Here is current protocol M/W/F injections - SubQ - 190 MG / wk - split into 3 doses - Test Cyp Here are the labs : They were taken Monday morning BEFORE injection - (I still did my previous Friday injection) Total Test : 870 ng/dl Free Test : 26.1 ng/dl SHBG : 31.8 nmol/L E2 Sensitive : 49.9 pg/ml Albumin : 4.3 g/dl Globulin : 3.0 g/dl I'll even include my thyroid panels, and if I missed anything else, please ask as I am sure I have it here. Lots of bloods being drawn. Thyroxine T4 : 6.2 ug/dl T3 uptake : 30 Free Thyroxine Index : 1.9 TSH : 1.960 uiu/ml RBC : Normal and Hematocrit is normal just fyi, no sneaking up on it at the moment. Why am I not feeling great on this protocol? Lost that confidence, anxiety coming back a bit, losing SOME drive, libido is way less compared to that 3 months, and energy went down by like 30% or so.. Anything I am doing wrong? Is the E2 Wilding controlling this? Could really use some help about this. Was feeling like a goddamn star prior, were my T levels in supraphysiological ranges in that time, and once I shut down it just crashed me? I am super confused. When I was feeling that great my E2 was in the 60's lol it doesn't make sense what is going on. Any help is appreciated. Also a reliable source for Aromasin would be great. Would love to try that out, since Arimidex gave me a horrible side effects, and I think I convert T to E so fast, it might be a better option anyway since I did experience estrogen rebound with arimidex as well. Really looking for some help here, please. Here is my post regarding this exact same topic - so you can see my replies if it helps answer questions [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Testosterone/comments/8xgrfq/not_feeling_as_good_compared_to_first_starting/[/url] Here are my labs PRE-TRT [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/Testosterone/comments/7tvt0g/considering_trt_need_some_opinions_and_blood_test/[/URL] Here are my labs TRT 6 weeks in - when I felt like a bad ass for 3 months. My E2 was actually higher here - yet I still felt like a damn super star. [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/Testosterone/comments/88b329/lab_results_after_6_weeks_am_i_dialed_in_and/[/URL] Based on a post I read by Nelson, my E2 fits in that 'ratio' divide by T by 14 and then divide my T by 20... it fits in it perfectly... That's why I have no clue wtf is wrong at the moment. [/QUOTE]
