I'm too scared to take FIN long term. I know it may be a temporary solution but to me does not seem like a long term solution. Most recently I was doing 20mg EOD which had me feeling okay I guess. I'm thinking about switching to 40 mg every 3.5 days to try and see if that will bring up the E2...
I've sat here and read through this whole thread and your the first person I think has the exact same situation as me. I cannot get my e2 up regardless of what I try so I tried the Fin experiment also. Made me feel awesome. Raging libido, great workouts etc. I just kept getting scared because of...
I have a similar story with starting on a high dose and remember feeling great as well. It could partly be due to the honeymoon period, but also my thoughts are the high doses allowed my E2 to at least be in such a high range that it would alleviate the symptoms. I did not feel comfortable with...
That has been the conventional wisdom but I'm certain mine are low e2. Constant joint pains, extreme fatigue coupled with the fact that taking cialis which is known to lower e2 makes me feel even worse, like complete garbage for days. Like this study said that the original poster linked with the...
This has to be what I am dealing with. I have constantly battled with low e2 symptoms my entire TRT journey and have never been able to figure out why when my e2 on labwork is always realtively normal. It is finally making sense why I feel better with lower total T numbers but like super low...
Does going to a daily regimen seem to lower DHT conversion? It would make sense as it’s less of a peak dosing to convert over to DHT. Anyone have any thoughts or experience?
Correct, now here’s where the difference comes in. I’m sure my test level with scrotal cream would peak way higher causing there to be some level of e2 conversion. I was doing 200mg total all to the scrotum, which even though my DHT was through the roof so was my test which allowed enough e2 to...
I get what your saying but while I was on the scrotal cream I was running extremely high T levels theorizing that allowed my e2 to finally get high enough. I didn’t feel comfortable running that high of T and DHT levels long term combined with the pain in the butt that applying cream twice a day...
That’s the issue though, increasing my levels make me feel worse. Anything that can convert to DHT seems to and I don’t seem to tolerate extremely high dht. Feel hot, super bad acne on chest and back, and sebherrotic dermatitis. All of these issues seem to relate to high dht.
I’ve been on TRT for 3 years now and it has been a constant roller coaster. I believe I have finally narrowed down my issue. I’ve always been a low aromatizer and constantly struggled with headaches, achy joints and fatigue and anxiety Only taken one dose of an AI right in the beginning before...
