Started TRT with test cyp in Aug., first 3 weeks 100mg E3.5D. It became clear estradiol was high and doc changed it to 50mg E3.5D the next 3 weeks. No HCG and no AI initially, but added DIM-plus on week 3. On week 4 I got a Rx for anastrozole.
I didn't do well with anastrozole. 1 day after taking .25mg I injured my left knee doing squats that weren't heavy that I'd been doing for a month with no problem. Took .25mg again about 3 days later and my other knee and shoulders started hurting. Stopped the anastrozole. About 2 weeks later and both knees are still hurting with occasional popping/clicking sounds. The worst pain is right above my left knee where it burns off and on, on the inside part where the lower quad meets the knee. Hopefully, it just needs rest, there are times I think it's getting better only to hurt and make me limp around later.
I'd like to do blood work in 3-4 months and maybe re-try TRT with some changes, with more frequent and subcutaneous injections next time, get body fat down from around 20% to under 10, and see if I can get HCG from the start. I'd also like to ask the doc about test propionate. I was really bloated on the Sun Pharma cottonseed oil cyp I got from CVS.
The family jewels ached a little off and on starting around week 3 and are noticeably smaller. If I stop cold turkey with no prescriptions or supplements should everything restart fine after 6 weeks of TRT?
