TRT with estrogen tablet

[Nekos402]

TRT replacement - there are a few similar posts but this might be unique. 54 y/o male. Male menopause symptoms started in Dec 2022. TRT started April 2023 0.7ml/200mg of TRT. Felt great. A year later, started estradiol, 1mg per week, decreased to 0.5 mg TRT. October 2024, Doc increased estradiol to 2x per week. Through me off mentally and physically. Doc had me stop cold turkey end of October. Felt ok, then felt fantastic - felt 15 years younger. 20 days after I stopped I experienced a level of anger - out of the blue - I've never felt before. Took my TRT shot the next day, but only 0.3 of TRT. Today, had the feeling of the unexplained anger again, but did not last but 2 hours. Called a friend (physician) and recommended I take 1mg of estradiol (my doc was not in). Last blood test at the end of October before I stopped taking estradiol Free Testosterone was 1500. Estrogen was 15.4.

If you feel great, why did your doctor make a change to your TRT protocol?

Took my TRT shot the next day, but only 0.3 of TRT.

You need to learn to better communicate your dosing, .3 of TRT is meaningless.

Where is the question?

Not sure why the doc changed things up on me. The last dose was 0.3ml. And I've found the last few weeks difficult to sleep - knowing a high free testosterone can cause trouble sleeping.
