[QUOTE="PixelFree, post: 111268, member: 18649"] Hi guys, I was on TRT through a Doctor, however I had a second opinion which says I shouldn't have even started on TRT as my natural Total T was (thankfully) already nice and high for my age. My base results: > Oestrodial (E2) = 127 pmol/L (<160) = [B]35 [/B]in pg/mL - seems to be a little high. > Total T = 23.3 nmol/L (9.9 - 27.8) = [B]672 [/B]in ng/dL - which I'm really happy with. > SHBG = [B]53 [/B]nmol/L (17 - 56) - seems to be a little high. > Free T = [B]384 [/B]pmol/L (170 - 670) - I'm assuming I'll feel better if I'm the higher end of this range? I was on low dose Sustanon 40mg + hCG 250 IU injections E3D for about 6 weeks, and yes it did boost Total and Free T a little (felt good at the start, then nothing really), but then realised that my T was good to start with, and was told my best approach would not take any T/hCG and to focus on lowering my E2 and SHBG. After stopping treatment, after about a 2 weeks or so I felt pretty flat/terrible. I read up about how bodybuilding cycles use Nolvadex as a post cycle therapy to restart natural T production, so I thought I'd give it a try at a much lower dose and duration. I've been taking 40mg per day for the last 3 days and I feel really great, a big uplift. [U]My questions[/U] are: 1. [B]How long[/B] should I continue this for? Most bodybuilding cycles (500mg/week for 12 weeks) suggest a PCT of Nolvadex 100mg for 1 day + 60mg for 10 days + 40mg for 10 days. So I was thinking just 1 week of 40mg per day should be enough. I'm working on naturally reducing my E2 through losing body fat (I'm 25%) and my SBHG through reducing stress (not working so many hours and cutting out caffeine (I'm sensitive but I love drinking it!). 1. If I reduce these would my Free T go up / [B]is this the best thing[/B] I can do to improve my mood/drive/etc? 2. Are these the best ways to reduce my [B]E2[/B] and [B]SHBG[/B]? 3. Would [B]Nolvadex mono[/B] say 20mg ED ongoing [B]help me[/B] here as an alternative to TRT? [/QUOTE]
