Test cyp plus HCG - high estradiol

Following the Crisler Protocol for years and it's worked well.

I do .25cc HCG on Mon Tues, and .5cc T cyp Wed (100mg).

Crisler said he poured over hundreds of labs and found this to be the optimal protocol. My last lab was on Day 6 and E was 42 and T was 580.

I am now bumping up my T to .6cc and reducing my HCG to .2cc to see how I do.

What is the dose on your HCG? .25cc could be anything depending on how you mixed it.
 
What brands are reliable from this site? I've seen some of these exact brands lab tested showing they are drastically under-dosed.
I suspect the likelihood of ID10T errors. "These exact brands" are actual pharmacy brands. There is no reason for them to be "under-dosed." More probable: mixed wrong or not kept cold or more than a month old. . . ReliableRx is a legitimate pharmacy, just in India.
 
Wilson, 1056 is high. Wow. Was that number on day one or 5 on your T shot?

Also, how do you do your HCG in the schedule? I do day 1 and 2 HCG shots and day 3 my T shot.

Are you having high hematocrit issues?
No E2 Sx. I don't vary the HCG schedule, M and R regardless of when the TC/TP shot falls. Last total T with this same protocol was 850ish. I don't micro manage T or E2, even when I did, it made no difference. Labs on Day 4 after a shot. Total T ranges between 700 - 1200. Have had HCT issues for decades, even one tube of testim caused problems and did little relative to how I felt and didn't get T much past 500. I don't have free T measured, it can be easily calculated by knowing SHBG, albumin and total T and is within 5% of dialysis measured free.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
