[QUOTE="madman, post: 132374, member: 13851"] Glad to hear you are doing well! Bumping your T dose up to 60 mg twice weekly (every 3.5 days) made a big difference in getting your TT/FT levels up. As far as your e2 as you know it is the wrong test for men seeing as it tends to overestimate and to truly know where your e2 sits you would need the correct test for men which is the estradiol sensitive (LC/MS-MS) but as you stated.....[B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]E2 seems to be getting up there [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]but have zero E2 sides[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] at the moment so [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][B]not overly concerned [/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]at this point.[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]You are only 2 months into your new protocol and over time other improvements should be seen.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]I would always say ride it out for now and if anything you can look into adding hcg if you feel it would be needed regarding fertility/testicular shrinkage (varies with men).[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Many make the mistake of tweaking protocol too often or right away as even though testosterone levels stabilize after 6 weeks.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Not only are your levels in flux leading up to the 6 weeks but once levels have stabilized it takes time for the body to adjust to the new levels.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]So one should give it 3 months at the new dose to truly gauge how they feel at those new levels before looking into tweaking a protocol if needed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Start low/go slow and give it a chance before changing things is a sensible approach.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Impatience/quick to react/over thinking things can lead to poor results.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Merry Christmas and all the best to you in the New Year![/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
