[QUOTE="Mambo, post: 107658, member: 17840"] I'm a healthy 41 year old guy and in good shape, training BJJ and doing kettlebells 6 days/week. I started TRT this past February with Test C 100mg IM weekly after experiencing low T symptoms for several months. Pre TRT labs: TT 498, TF 14, SHBG 18. No E2 was drawn. After 5 weeks I had noticed significant decreased penile sensitivity, so I got changed to 50mg E 3.5 days and HCG 150 IU daily. I'm also taking DHEA, Zinc, Cal-C-Gluc, and N Acetyl Tyrosine, and DIM. Repeat trough labs in April after several weeks on the new regimen: TT 663, TF 18, SHBG 24, E2 sensitive 30. I felt good energy and morning wood in the initial couple of weeks with TRT but it has faded. So I switched to 40mg EOD to see if the increase dose and frequency would help. Well after about 3 weeks I had what I'm sure were symptoms of high E2 progressing over the past week including swollen hands, decreased libido, delaying orgasm, and increased fatigue. So I think I probably overshot the dose. I haven't injected Test C for 4 days and I have noticed the swelling starting to go down. So a question for my pals in the club. I'm thinking about either dropping my dose to 20-25mg EOD or even 10-15mg ED. What have you all have had the best luck with? Also, is it common for us to have to take an AI do to our low SHBG? I've read that a TT:E2 of 25 seems to make most guys feel optimal. I'm not opposed to having to include a low dose AI if it will make me feel better. I just haven't felt great like the first 2 weeks when I initially started TRT. Any thoughts, advice, and/or experiences would be most appreciated. [/QUOTE]
