thoughts on how to lower test levels

Hey brothers,

If you guys do not mind just look over these 2 set of blood works and give your thoughts on reducing my test levels.

For the sake of simplifying the problem consider that both set of lab blood work measured CBC, CMP, TSH, LH, FH and all were almost identical to each other and both were in normal ranges. Lab work #1 was taken on a trough day on 8/22 and lab work #2 was on trough day on 11/22. Both sets of labs were drawn before my 250 IU hcg shot SQ.

Protocol was the same for both lab works. It was and currently is IM, alternating sites, 100 mg of test cyp (Watson) E3D and 250 IU Hcg day before test shot and daily 10mg of cialis.

Note for blood work for 8/22 also consisted of added UGL 50 mg of Masteron Enthante and 50mg of Masteron Prop taken in same syringe with test cyp 100mg for a total of 1 cc each injection for 12 weeks prior. I came off the masteron blend for 3 weeks (7/30 to 8/22) and then had this blood work drawn at dr office.

Note for blood work for 11/20 was and currently regular protocol with nothing else.

Here it is for 8/22 ----------total test 1958.3 range 348-1197
free test >51 range 6.8-21.5
estradiol 60.42 range 5.37-65.9 * non sensitive*

For 11/20-------------------total test 1660
free test 39.4
estradiol 71.5 * non sensitive*

Same labs (Labcorp)

No symptoms of anything, no libido changes, no erection problems (not counting too many erections is problem lol) no nipple soreness or lumps. Psa both times remain the same at 2.8 I am 50 years old, good shape, around 9 percent bodyfat, and ordinary aches and pains for a guy my age.

My first thought is to drop to 80 mg E3D and retest in 4 weeks. Second thought is to maintain 100mg but go to E5D. Any thoughts on HCG? I am really trying to not go on AI. Again, no symptoms. Just trying to get blood work together before I see dr. early next year.

Thanks a bunch


ps

oh yea more history, I have been on trt for 2 years. First six months was disaster and changed dr. Everything is going much better. Hcg was prescribed then. Blood work during this time period has been roughly same but TT (trough) ran about 600 at 80mg E3D test cyp Watson. Free test ran about 12 and estradiol ran about 34 ( non sensitive) I asked for sensitive assay tests but did not get so stayed with estradiol non sensitive for a point of comparison for future lab works.

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.
