[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 155394, member: 38930"] I settled on 2 grains of NDT, and have been on 750mg Metformin 2x per day. The weight loss has continued but slowed after the first week, but still fairly dramatic. 19 days since starting and I'm down 6.6 Kg (about 15lb). The belly has started to go down now, but not by much. I got my full 6 month test results today, and it makes interesting reading. My testosterone and free T are high, estradiol low, SHBG, and prolactin back in range having been SHBG low and prolactin sky high. T has been unknown until now during treatment due to contaminated tests. Unsurprisingly on NDT and metformin, my TSH is very low, compared to very high before. It seems like exemestane (aromasin), 12.5mg EOD has radically controlled the E. Does this normally transform SHBG and prolactin numbers as seen below? I have remained throughout my injection treatment on 100mg Sustanon per week, split into two. I am surprised that with the T dose the total T is so high, and despite now having much higher SHBG, that the free T is also so high. Apologies if units are impossible to read, I'm in the UK. Speaking to the doc for follow up consultation next week, will report back what he says. I feel great by the way, everything I hoped for from TRT finally. Might add HCG now, perhaps this will up my E a notch. Will probably ditch the aromasin once the belly's gone and see what happens. Probably about 8kg to go.
