[QUOTE="Hot Wings, post: 103391, member: 17482"] In case anyone is still interested in my thread, I had my consultation with Defy this morning. It went as expected and honestly I seemed to know most of what he was explaining already when we went through my blood tests. I attribute that to all I’ve learned on this forum and a couple other sites. Thanks to everyone who shared in this thread. The only thing that came as a surprise is he recommended I go on a thyroid medication to raise free T3 levels. I’m currently at 3.0 pg/mL range 2.0 - 4.4 We agreed to wait until I start Testosterone so I have a baseline of how I feel instead of starting both at once. I also wanted to research on my own since I know thyroid meds are not something to mess around with. Another thing is he said even though my estradiol is at 36.8 pg/mL, I could still be experiencing symptoms of low estradiol since I have a high SHBG that binds it just as it does testosterone. Regardless, he recommends .125 AI twice a week and if I start experiencing high E2 side effects to take 3 or 4 doses per week. Overall my starting protocol is 160 mg of Testosterone a week split into 2 injections every 3.5 days + 1000 iu HCG and .125 AI twice a week(more if needed.) I asked about taking one large dose of Test once a week to drive down SHBG, but he still said to do twice a week. If anyone has any thoughts or input to about anything please share. I feel nervous and excited at the same time. Hoping this ends up a positive in my life going forward. [/QUOTE]
