When I asked my doctor about the elevated levels, he didn’t have an answer or an explanation. He only suggested that I was taking something else along with TRT. Which, if I was, then I wouldn’t be asking him why my levels were elevated nor would I be posting on this forum asking for opinions.

I’ve being going to the same pharmacy for three years and they have been supplying me with the same concentration at the same dose. I suppose it’s possible that they changed sources or what oil it is mixed with?

Hello all, I am looking for opinions on some interesting findings in my bloodwork. A little background: I am 28 years old. 6’1” 215lbs. I have been on TRT for 3 years. My bloodwork has always been somewhat consistent with never any major changes to protocol. I have always been on the same dose...

I use AI as needed. I am low SHBG in the 20’s however I have crashed my E2 plenty of times by taking too much (.25 mg has crashed me before) so I try to stay away if possible. I have not taken such a high HCG dose along with my TRT before so I will be monitoring E2 closely.

You and I have very similar characteristics. I am 28 years old and have been on TRT for three years. I used HCG in addition to TRT intermittently over the course of the three years. 250iu 2x a week. I had a semen analysis done and my sperm count was 22 million (not great but not completely...

My doctor prescribed me 100mg/day clomid which was a LARGE amount and the side effects were pretty bad. I titrated down to 25mg/day and that was tolerable. I got on clomid solely for the purpose of conception so I was okay with higher dosing and temporarily dealing with negative effects to...

Hello all! Brief update, I recently stopped TRT and got on clomid therapy in hopes to increase fertility to get my wife pregnant. Success! My wife is now 6 weeks pregnant. I have attached links to my previous threads regarding my fertility journey: Fertility help Blood results for fertility...

Thanks Vince. Yes, I plan on going back to TRT + HCG to keep fertility going and not have to do a restart again should we decide to have more children.

Hello all, I have been on TRT for 2.5 years. My wife and I are trying to conceive so I started a restart protocol one month ago. I started another thread with more detail that can be found here: Fertility help I have since lowered my clomid dose to 25mg/day and ceased the HCG therapy. I am...

And how was your results using 25mg/day? Did it restore your levels? Fertility success?

Thanks Vince. And I’m assuming you mean ONLY use Clomid and cease the HCG?

Hello all, Currently, my wife and I are hoping to conceive. I have been on TRT therapy for 3 years now. I have also used HCG for the first two years, though, this past year I stopped taking it (I feel better on T only). I am 27 years old. I saw my doctor and his fertility/restart protocol is...

Hello all, I wanted to give an update on my situation. It’s been 4 weeks since I’ve switched from EOD to E3D injections. I got bloodwork done in hopes of seeing some improvement in numbers from the previous bloodwork. I will compare both below. 4/26/18 bloodwork Total T 586 (264-914) Free...

My free T is a 10 on a 9-26.5 reference range and I feel the effects of that. I have negative symptoms which is why I pulled bloodwork. My numbers are off and that confirms my symptoms. Which is why the concern with numbers. The concern with SHBG is so I can increase my free T. I have always...

Yes, my symptoms definitely got worse after taking AI and tanking E2. I get that part. I won’t be taking an AI. BUT...what I don’t understand is why my T levels have lowered and SHBG has doubled. I’m going to stick with my total weekly dose of 200mg but try E3D injections to increase T and...

Quick update: my prolactin levels came back at 4.2 (4-15 reference range) Tests were done at trough and equally. My plan of action is to switch back to E3D injections at 100mg E3D for a total of 200/wk in hopes to raise my total T, Free T, E2 and lower SHBG. I know there is a lot of...

Hey guys, I’ve had a lot of success in the past with my TRT protocol due to your advice on this forum, but I am coming to you all again in dire help. I’ve got several different things going on with my latest bloodwork. I have attached below. To reference I will also include prior bloodwork form...

Would you suggest DHEA to increase levels or just be patient?

Hello all, I have posted my latest bloods after 5 weeks after being on a new protocol. I switched my dosing frequency from E3D to EOD in hopes to create more stable levels and eliminate Adex. Current protocol is as follows: Test Cyp (200mg/wk) EOD injections Nandrolone (200mg/wk) EOD...

200mg/wk it states with my frequency being EOD (approx 55mg EOD).

Has anyone experienced any side affects with supplementing high doses of B12? I started supplementing jarrow b12 lozenges 5,000mcg on Friday. I took a total of 10,000 mcg Friday, 10,000 mcg Saturday, and 5,000mcg on Sunday. A few hours after taking the b12 on Friday, I started experiencing...

For those of you who have used nandrolone with your TRT protocol, has anyone experienced appetite suppression? Currently 2 1/2 weeks into using nandrolone along side my protocol (200mg/wk each) and my appetite has gone completely down the drain. Never hungry. I cannot finish a normal sized meal...

Right. By stopping the conversion it will have an indirect effect by not allowing further E to become free

So my question is, would Adex have any affect on the free estrogen floating in the system as a result of high free E levels?

It is my understanding that an AI such as Arimidex binds to the receptor sites and blocks the further production of estrogen to a certain percentage based on dosing. So if someone has elevated free E2 levels, would that make the AI useless against the free floating E? Can someone elaborate on...

Started the EOD protocol earlier. Gonna ditch the labs. I will stick to this protocol for one month and then do labs. As always, thanks for the advice.

50mg EOD will get me to 200 per week is that correct? I got labs done last week. E2 was 36 on <39 scale. This was not the sensitive. I have the sensitive scheduled for next week. My total T came in at 1700 (high I know) so could it be possible that I needed that high of an AI dose (1mg E3D) to...

I am experiencing that now. Impatience. Wanting to change and tweak so many things so quickly at once. I have learned a lot from this site and it has opened my eyes to a much more beneficial way to conduct my own protocol. I just changed my Adex protocol. I should probably wait for that to be...

You're right. With such high doses of T and Anastrozole, and E3D injections, I experience a lot of fluctuations throughout the days. I would like to combat that by more frequent dosing and in doing so hoping to ultimately lower doseages. I have just changed my protocol from 1mg Adex E3D to .5mg...

How does one transition from say, an E3D injection protocol, to a EOD protocol? Currently injecting 100mg E3D test cyp(200mg/wk), 250iu HCG E3D (500/wk), Adex .5mg E3D(1mg/wk) After seeing many on this site following this and doing research elsewhere, it seems a more frequent injection...

If you don't mind me asking, why are you taking nandrolone?
