Hi all - just signed up today and happy to be here.
I’m 46 years old, in decent physical shape but for over 8 months had the classic low T symptoms (lethargy, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, low libido, poor workout recovery). An initial blood test confirmed this, so having signed up with Leger UK, I started 250mg Enanthate, 2 x 0.2ml sub-q per week. I improved my diet & supplements (zinc, magnesium, vit-d & maca) and increased cardio & weights. Have lost 1 stone and gained muscle.
All started well and after 3 weeks had significant impact on all symptoms. I felt really good.
My 1-month bloods showed increase in numbers, but I was advised to increase my dose to 0.22ml. 3 weeks after increasing (2.5 months after starting) I had a sudden increase in anxiety and my libido and energy dropped.
This has been up and down since and while my latest bloods show some further increase in total and T (neither are that high), my Estrogen has tripled and is now approaching the top of the range.
I’m considering either
1. Dropping back to 0.2 for a few weeks and monitoring symptoms
2. Increasing my dose to get my T up, but probably requesting an AI given how my E is increasing.
3. Switching to EOD injections
But I am new to this – what would you guys do?
(I do appreciate any advice & comments, all my other levels are in range btw)
