I am going to give 112 mg EOD a try and see what happens. Given that my E2 is slightly low in the high teens and my TT and FT are around middle of the range, a 10% increase with spreading the dose can't hurt to see what happens. If bloods in 6-8 weeks are too high, ill come down to 105.
Thanks for the input. Starting Monday I’m going to go to an EOD frequency. I can either do 105mg or 112mg. I’m leaning towards 105mg now. Which would be .15ml EOD. And see what things look like and how I feel in 6-8 weeks. Thoughts?
I definitely had high e2. I have some gyno growth in my left nipple. Its not bad. But, there is a definitely a hard lump below the areola. Facial flushing. Anxiety. Bloat.
I have also crashed my e2 as well. Not a fun place. Thats what made me decide to go down to 100mg and not mess with AIs.

Hey guys. Recently I decided to lower my protocol from 140mg down to 100mg due to high e2 side effects. Below is my bloodwork. Note that on 6/29/23 was during the 100mg switch. I was only on 100mg at that point for 3ish weeks. Protocol is 50mg twice a week. Monday morning and Thursday evening...
@Systemlord, I got blood work again yesterday after being @ 100mg weekly of Test C. This was around the 8 week mark of new dose. To my surprise, ferritin decreased further and iron is now on the low side.
Ferritin is @ 64 - 38-380 range - ng/mL
Iron - Total is @ 79 - 50-180 range - mcg/dL...
Also, i have attached my iron levels at the same time when ferritin was around 78.
Considering supplementing. Why would my iron saturation be high? I’m also highly active. CrossFit. 6 times a week. I do a lot of endurance training.
Thanks for the words.
I think I’m going to stay the course without changing anything for another 4 weeks and get bloods around the 6 week mark. If I see an uptick in dhea and ferritin, I may wait it out to see if my body naturally brings them up. If they aren’t, I’ll add minimum dose.
What do...
I’m currently in the middle of decreasing my dose due to high e2 issues that I did not want to mitigate by AI use. The following labs were taken while taking 100mg a week split Monday morning and Thursday evening. IM. Labs drawn Thursday morning on day 14 of new 100mg protocol.
E2 sensitive -...
Well my readings were:
Total T - 1155ng/dl - lab range 250-1100 ng/dL
e2 - 10pg/ml - lab range < OR = 29 pg/mL
As of 5/19/23. AND, i didnt really feel bad when those labs were taken only after (around 5/21). So, my guess is my e2 went further down than that (crashing) and I am bouncing back...
Wow. Reading this feels like my story too. Literally same situation. TRT for several months. High Total T and Free T on labs(but nothing crazy), took some AI, and here came all these issues with palpitations/anxiety.

This is honestly really great advice. Which I plan to follow. I've switched to 120mg a week - test cyp IM - E3.5D. Ill see how I feel after a couple of week. Get some blood work and get schedule it morning of right before next dose to see where Free T, Total T, SHBG and E2 line up. And go from...
I get that. But your comment of “constantly overstimulated” describes my current protocol pretty well. I naturally tried 140mg EOD of cyp. Thinking 120mg E3.5D may be better for me.
Interesting. I was under the impression pinning more frequent would be better for SHBG levels and would cause less aromatization of test into estrogen to keep levels more at bay. I’m taking 120mg EOD of cyp.
I’m considering coming off. But, if my e2 is still low and I quit, my thought process is it would stay low until my HPTA gets back to normal (back to what my normal is) because there wouldn’t be any test to aromatize which could take awhile.
Do you think I’d be better off waiting for it to come...
Hey All. I have been experiencing palpitations and frequent anxiety for the last few weeks. Sometimes its debilitating. It causes insomnia. Sometimes thoughts of something life threatening happening in my sleep. I am 33 yr old. Workout 6 days a week vigorously. Eat a good diet. I'm 5' 10" and...
