I have noticed I'm super anxious which isn't usually the case. I'm hoping my e2 is just high from the switch from 180mg(mwf) week to 140mg/20mg daily and since it's still a relatively new protocol I was going to let it run another couple weeks and retest. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't...

I got my recent blood work after I went to daily injections, 20mg a day/140mg week Before my injection blood work showed 906 total, 27 free and 62 E2. Hematocrit was 46. I recently did a double rbc donate as I'm type o neg and they asked me too. I hydrate and take baby aspirin daily I haven't...

Awesome, thank you. Man I love this place, great people and a lot of good knowledge.

I want to say 3, I work third shift so my days all blur together. It definitely hasn't been long. HOWEVER I feel worlds better than I did on 180mg (60mg) m/w/f, which was what the transpired from my last consult. 20mg/day for a total of 140mg a week, I feel more normal but as I said above my...

Thanks Mark, so should I keep this protocol (20mg/day - 140g/week) until my consult? My thinking is, so far it has been changed once since my last consult, I don't want to keep changing it and have this convoluted mess when I speak with the health care professional. The only negative I have...

Thank you Only problem so far has been occasional piss poor sleeping. Am I gaining ANY benefit from a 27 free test level? I take it the general consensus is avoid AI, lower dosing, right?

I was 180mg/week broken up into m/w/f no AI. I was starting to feel like warmed over shit. I suspect my E2 was high, as on 150mg it was low 40s. My test was increased because we dropped hcg Before starting TRT my SHBG was low I changed my protocol to a lower weekly dose, given everyday. I...

Thanks MarkM, I tried to just deal with it, but I never would have thought higher doses would affect anxiety, and how my heart was feeling like it was going to beat out of my chest. It would also raise faster with simple mundane tasks, like getting up to walk around.... I was definitely in high...

Yeah I will, like I said, I felt horrible on the increased dose. Like worse than pre trt horrible. I just made the decision based on facts of how shbg works and took the plunge.

i have not done a follow up cumulative of all the blood work yet, that is at the end of this month with defy. I only did a TT/FT/E2 on my own with labcorp back when I was on 150mg and the e2 had hit 40. I was starting to get high e2 symptoms like flushing skin, major water retention etc on 180mg...

I am low SHBG, started on 150mg ever m/w/f with 300iu hcg on the same schedule. We dropped hcg, still getting atrophy + not concerned about fertility Bumped up to 180mg every m/w/f and by week two of new protocol, I had what felt like racing heart(resting heart was always fine) and horrible...

I don't but I am ordering one now, my BP was good yesterday and well below the hypertension threshold. I did not realize E2 would have an effect on heart rate, I guess that would explain the noticeably harder beat, since my e2 was high on 150 and its probably higher now. I wonder if my 180mg...

gotcha thank you! I am not sure my hematocrit I just preemptively donated to be safe, im testing that tuesday so hopefully all is well.

I saw the updated post, thank you, so it would be pointless to start my anastrozole(125mg) now, as I should probably see where im at. I appreciate it thank you, the only other thing I am "concerned" about is noticeably harder heartbeat, normal resting rate, I just notice it more if that makes...

Oh shit whoops, I just woke up as I work third shift so I’m a little disoriented still lol. Ok this shbg was pre starting my original 150mg

No the original labs I posted were post trt, I wanted to see how my protocol affected my levels. The labs with the shbg was pre trt treatment, defy ordered those prior to my initial 150mg test with 300iu hcg

This is pre trt labs done with defy. The last lab I showed you was something I decided to do, I go in for my full range again end of this month Would starting my anastrozole .125mg be beneficial? Like I said I feel great the only thing I’m noticing is slight joint pain and a noticeably harder...

It’s a snap to see where I was at, I am doing these 3 again tues along with hematocrit. I get my full range end of month with defy. This was 150mg WITH hcg

That’s the perfect way to explain it, it’s not fast just harder cause like I said I monitor my heart rate through my watch.

Thank you that’s the logical choice I’m just curious what’s the medical explanation, many guys do a helluva lot more, am I the unlucky one that susceptible to high doses of test? Surely the difference can’t be 30mg of test. I mean I could understand if I was throwing back 300 to 600 a week but...

I am primary hypo, I was started on 150mg/shots m/w/f at 50mg with hcg 300iu m/w/f We decided to drop the hcg since I am not concerned about fertility and I was still getting testicular atrophy. Dropping the hcg, we increased my test to 180mg. I don’t have my bloods from this newest protocol...

Thank you Mark

Thanks for all the replies, should I be taking my anastrozole with my elevated e2 or wait for my mini consult next week with defy. It's .125mg thanks

Thank you for the response I have noticed my lifts and recovery are going well. Free test is the culprit for that correct?

Makes sense, I definitely don't know nearly enough about this stuff. It was just depressing seeing the levels that were once 209, barely above 569. Hearing my free test is good, is definitely a positive.

Oh yeah Defy is great! Don't get me wrong, my body is just proving itself to be difficult. Anastrozole was only if I experienced symptoms such as sore nipples, being overly emotional, etc and even then only twice a week so as not to affect the testosterone levels. The reason I got mid month...

Its tucked in my post, sorry the format is off. My protocol is 50mg test cyp 200mg m/w/f as well as 300iu hcg m/w/f I have a mini consult scheduled with defy, I was under the impression with 150mg of test + the hcg, I should be seeing higher test levels. I mean I was 209 ng/dl, im bummed my...

It's not the full test range, I did test total, free and e2 as I had a hunch my e2 was high and it is. I don't go for my full labs again until a month or so. https://ibb.co/b9KGby I am prescribed anastrozole .125 mg but don't take it. Only if I get symptoms but it's clearly high. How should I...

I noticed it and the wife noticed. Definite shrinkage. I can feel a difference as well

this is the end of week 3. However atrophy happened super fast.

300iu 3 times a week, so 900 yes. I take 300iu with each .25ml of test
