I just got my most recent bloodwork back. I definitely need to adjust something. The twice weekly arimidex is causing too much of a swing in my levels. I took labs all 3 days in my cycle and the swing looks like this: Day 1: (take testosterone) TT: 1295, E2: 16.8 Day 2: (take armidex) TT: 1470...

I started with a doctor who had me on a very low dose that kept me around 400-500. I switched to this doctor 8 months ago and he immediately put me on 200mg/week. I requested to split it into 2 weekly doses based on what I'd learned online and he agreed. I've been on that T dosage for the past 8...

My full protocol is: 100 mg test cyp 2x per week (for 200mg total per week) 350 IU HCG 2x per week 0.5mg Arimidex 2x per week My estradiol is monitored. I've been adjusting the AI dosage to try to get it right by the testosterone dosage has been constant for 8 months. E2 is currently at 17 so...

I'm on doctor prescribed 100mg testosterone cypionate IM 2x per week (for a total of 200mg per week). I've been on this protocol for 8 months now. I feel good, but my testosterone levels are above the reference range. This dosage keeps me between 1295-1470 total testosterone (range: 348-1197)...

On what do you base this recommendation?

Sorry to keep replying to myself. I may have answered my own question. According to Dr. Google, steady state of a drug is achieved after 4-5 half-lives, and frequency of administration doesn't affect the time to reach steady state. So, assuming I'm not missing anything I can figure out when my...

I found this in the prescribing info for Arimidex. It basically says that at once daily dosing steady state is acheived in 7 days. I'm assuming that taking it 2 or 3 times per week instead of once daily would change this and it would take longer to reach steady state. Can anyone confirm?

I really need a straight, scientific answer to this. I've read various responses to this question on this and other forums. They range widely from 10 days to 3 weeks to 6 weeks. All of them seem to just be wild guesses with no actual data to back them up. I'm sure that there's some way to...

I haven't tried .5mg 2x per week yet. Just .5mg 3x per week and .25mg 2x per week. I guess I have a few more combinations to try out. It just sucks that every time I guess wrong I'm stuck feeling like crap for 3+ weeks.

My mood, libido, and erections are ok, but not as good as they were before my E2 crept up.

I just got new E2 results and it looks like I need to adjust my arimidex dosage again. Summary is below. All E2 numbers are using the Labcorp ultrasensitive LCMS test. Testosterone Cypionate IM 100mg 2x per week (total 200mg per week) constant through all different arimidex dosages. After 3...

Thanks. I'm fine with the body hair growth. I'm not at all ok with losing the hair on my head. I'm on a relatively high testosterone dose that's keeping my total testosterone level pretty high. All of my other labs are fine, but I'd lower my testosterone dosage if it would stop the hair loss. If...

I've been on TRT for around 7 months total, the last few months on an increased dose of 200mg cypionate per week (100mg 2x per week.) I just had my DHT tested for the first time. Result: DHT 816 (Range: 112-955 pg/ml) So I'm within the reference range, but right near the top. I have...

Wow, thanks! It's great to see that you take customer feedback so seriously. I'm looking forward to being a longtime customer.

TADACIP is the stuff that Cipla makes. As far as I'm concerned it's good stuff! Thanks.

Who is the manufacturer? I've found a difference in the effectiveness of generic Cialis from different manufacturers and want to make sure that I'm getting the good stuff!

Thanks, Vince. Can you tell me what dosage of pills you got and what manufacturer is listed on the box?

I just recieved my first order of HCG in the mail from Empower Rx Pharmacy - http://www.empowerrxpharmacy.com/ The price was great. At $75 + $10 shipping for 11,000 IU of HCG it's the best price I've found. It was very easy and a good experience. My doctor faxed them my prescription and...

I'm about to place an order on mysecuretabs.net based on some older reviews I read here. I have a couple of questions for people who have used them: I'm ordering 20mg generic Cialis pills (regular pills, not "superactive" not liquid, etc.) What manufacturer will I get? I've noticed a difference...

I just received my first HCG prescription from Empower Pharmacy. On the label of the bottle of unreconstitituted HCG it says to store the dry powder at 68-77 degrees F and then store the mixed, reconstituted HCG at 36-46 degrees F. I was just about to put the dry powder into the refrigerator for...

If reconstituted HCG is stored in a syringe unrefrigerated for, say, 5 or 6 days is it still safe to use, just less effective? I ask because I have to go on 7-10 day trips sometimes where refrigeration is not possible. I'm wondering if using degraded unrefrigerated HCG is safe, and better than...

My current protocol is 100mg Testosterone Cypionate injected on Tuesdays and Fridays, and .25mg arimidex taken on Wednesdays and Saturdays (24 hours after each injection). I'm wondering when I can expect my peak and my trough E2 levels to fall within this weekly cycle. Any thoughts?

I thought that it was harder to crash your E2 on aromasin. Either way, I'll look into it. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I'll do that. Any thoughts on how long it should take for this to drop my level from 50 down to 20-30?

I need help figuring out what arimidex doseage to try next. Brief history: I was on 200mg test cyp per week (split up as 100mg 2x per week) along with .5mg arimidex 3x per week. Within 3 weeks this crashed my E2 down to zero. I next tried 200mg test cyp per week (split up at 100mg 2x per...

I got the results back today. After reading the information on the lab reports, it sounds like what privatemdlabs calls the "estradiol, sensitive" and what discountedlabs calls "estradiol, ultrasensitive" are actually the same test. They're both done through Labcorp. The "sensitive" test from...

At one point early in my TRT adventure I was calling around and interviewing various local TRT clinics trying to find one that would let me self inject. I was speaking to the PA in charge of one of the clinics and asked him about self injecting at home. He said no, because there's too much...

If you're taking .2 ml at 200mg/ml then you're taking 40mg. (.2 x 200)

Today I had blood drawn at the same time for both the Labcorp Ultrasensitive Estradiol LC/MS/MS test and the Labcorp "Estradiol, sensitive" (RIA?) test. I'm interested to see how well the two results match up.

Would the recommended optimum range of the LC/MS/MS E2 test be 20-30 for most men on TRT?

I've used privatemdlabs in the past. I've been checking out DiscountedLabs.com and the prices look great, but I have a few questions: 1. Estradiol test: I've been using the "Estradiol, Sensitive" test at privatemdlabs with good accuracy and results. I believe that it's the RIA method, but not...
