[QUOTE="readyforchange, post: 97825, member: 16501"] Dr. Saya, I'm a Defy patient as well -- 6 months. Starting out, I was on 80mg Test Cyp, 250IU's HCG, and .25 anastrozole (all twice per week). After three months, my labs came back with Total T above 1500, Free T 42, and E2 at 49 --- and I was feeling it. Fatigue had returned, lots of water rentention, anxiety, etc. Dr. Caulkins lowered T to 70mg and upped HCG to 500IU's (again all twice per week) and had me double up on anastrozole for 1-2 weeks to get E2 back down. I felt GREAT for about 2-3 weeks. The, as the anxiety and water retention set in yet again, I went in and had E2 pulled and it came back at 69 -- it had gone up 20 after reducing weekly test cyp by 20mg. Am I jumping to conclusions here, or would this make it seem like HCG -- even at just 500 twice per week -- is aromatizng pretty strongly in me? I also noticed that my skin has gotten MUCH worse since increasing HCG -- I never had acne, even during puberty, and now I have what looks like acne or a rash all over my chest and back and even down my arms by my elbows. I'm beginning to think some testicular atrophy doesn't sound so bad... I just did 6 month labs and will be scheduling a tele-appointment with (hopefully you) when those labs come back. Currently, I'm all over the place and can't seem to get to a good, consistent place. [/QUOTE]
