Thanks Vince. Is that prescription only?

I've been on TRT for about 6 months now. I've decided to go off it for now. Since starting I've had a lot of problems. These problems may be totally, partially, or not at all related to being on TRT. I don't know. So, I currently take 100mg cypionate per week, injecting EOD subq. What is the...

I've been on TRT for about 6 months. About 3-4 weeks in, I really wasn't feeling great. Some folks on here suggested that some guys don't do well on HCG,so I stopped that. After many months I came to the conclusion that the issues I was having in those early weeks almost certainly weren't...

Ok great, thanks guys. I'll use a new syringe for each injection.

Thank you so much for the replies. So, for now, I've decided to stay on the safe side and not inject the test and HCG in the same syringe at the same time. One final question. Should I then use a new syringe for each injection. That is, inject my test, then use a brand new syringe to in inject...

I have seen a couple of videos where Nelson says that he injects Test and HCG at the same time, as in, draws both into the same syringe and does just the one injection. I am only on Test at the moment but plan to start HCG soon. Has anyone else tried Nelsons method? Is it a good idea and is...

Cheers guys. And I can use the same needle to do both injections?

One other question. I have seen some say that it is best to do HCG on a diffferent day to ones test injection. Is this true or is it generally ok to do them at the same time. For convenience sake, I would prefer to do them at the same time. Also, can I use the same needle for both injections if...

Since being on TRT, one thing that I've noticed is that I can often, if not always, 'feel' my heart beating in my chest. Also, my heart rate is higher. I can feel my heart beating quite strongly in my chest. Before TRT, my resting heart rate was 55-60. Now whenever I've checked it, it's usually...

Thanks for that. I might just start with 250iu twice a week. And just to clarify, I'm taking 85mg in total per week, not 85mg each injection.

When I first started TRT 4 months ago I was doing 100mg Cypionate pw Inject Mon and Fri and also 250iu HCG injecting at the same time. I was having issues with how I was feeling so about 4 weeks in, on the advice from some on here, I cut out the HCG. I have noticed my balls are much smaller and...

Sorry, what I was asking is, how does my low SHBG affect how I interpret my E2 number? For instance, 10 is a very low number in general, but is it low for me given my SHBG? I'm just trying to understand how SHBG affects how you look at E2 numbers.

Thanks for the info guys. So Vince, given I have an SHBG around 21, what do you think that means for me. My sensitive Estradiol test returned a result of 10. HOWEVER, this test was done and THEN I took two lots of 0.25mg anastrozole on two consecutive days as I believed at the time I had high E2.

Thanks Leesto, that's very helpful information. When you crashed your E2, what did you do to get it higher again? It was suggested on here I take DHEA. I've ordered some and it should be here in the next couple of days. I'm just not sure how much to take. Suggestions?

Thanks Pongo, good info to have. Vince, my SHBG has been between 21 and 23 on my last 3 blood tests.

I recently had my first sensitive estradiol test. It came back as very low (10). Not only that, but since the blood was taken, I had taken two doses of 0.25mg anastrozole, so I can only assume that my e2 has gone a lot lower than 10 (crashed). But I've also been having symptoms which align with...

I just got the results of my E2 Sensitive Test. Here is the result: Sensitive Estradiol 37pmol (36-155) The test was done when I hadn't had an AI for a couple of weeks. Since then I had the two lots of 0.25mg anastrazole. Would it be fair to assume that my E2 is now a lot lower than the 37...

Thanks Vince, I definitely won't be taking any more. Have you heard of this being shaky thing before? My hands are very shaky and I don't feel good.

I had not had any AI in about 2 weeks. I started to think me e2 was getting high so I had a blood test. The test was just the normal Estradiol test, not sensitive. The results showed my Estradiol was very high. I then found a place here in Oz that does the E2 sensitive test so I got a test done...

Ok great, thanks guys. I will just wait until tomorrow and continue on with EOD from there.

So you mean I should do tomorrow's injection even though I did one today?

I had to go away and stay overnight for work yesterday. As such I missed my injection day. I am doing EOD injections. I did my injection this morning when I got home. Should I do my injection again tomorrow as I would have done if I didn't miss a day. Or now just do it the day after tomorrow?

Ok, so I've just been and had my blood taken. On the test form it said: E2 Sensitive by LCMS method I'm hoping this is what I need? It said on the form that results are usually delivered in 24-48 hours, but that rarer tests will take longer. I'm not sure if this is considered a rare test or...

Sorry for the multiple posts. I just emailed the place I've had all my previous bloods done asking if they do the sensitive test. This is what they replied with: ------------------------ Hi Michael Regarding the sensitive oestradiol assay - this assay is only relevant where oestradiol levels...

Hey guys, I just found this -> https://imedical.com.au/order/blood-tests/sport-hormone-private-blood-tests/E2-LCMS-sport-tests Is this the same as you guys in the US and Canada have? Or if not, is it still much better than the standard Estradiol test?

Systemlord, thanks for that. I will continue to look to see who does a sensitive test here in Oz. I am going to cut my dose to 80mg or even 75mg, seeing my free test is so high. That will hopefully help. I really would rather avoid going to ever day injections just for the convenience factor...

MarkM, thanks very much for that info. I have done a search to see who has the Oestradiol LCMS test. I can find info on the test, just not anywhere that actually performs it. I will keep looking. lowe2sucks, in many ways I do feel a lot better, in relation to physical energy and other things...

So maybe drop down to 75 or 80mg per week then? Or lower? Would it be advisable to take 0.25mg anastrazole now and see how I feel later in the day. If I feel better, this would probably be an indication my Estrogen is high? I really just feel that given my blood test yesterday shows it to be...

I don't feel great. Like I said I've never really had anxiety before. My pre-trt Estradiol was 97, now it's 190 (same lab). It makes me think it is high even low anxiety only seems to be mentioned as a low estrogen symptom. I did see one poster on here say he gets anxiety when his estrogen gets...

Hi Vince, we don't have that test here in Australia unfortunately. We only have plain old Estradiol.

I've been on TRT for 3 months. My current protocol is: 100mg Test Cypionate per week, injecting EOD. Blood test just over a month ago revealed my Estradiol was 226 (Range 50-150) So I started on 0.25mg anastrazole E3D. Another blood test on 10/8 showed Estradiol of 141 (Range 50-150) So I...
