I’ve been pinning TRT for 3 months now, started at .3 2 times a week. (Total 120mg). moved to .5 2 times a week 2 weeks ago…( total of 200mg). Haven’t been feeling right the past few weeks. I did blood work and got back the results. Total T is at 1772 and E2 is at 117. Low to no libido, can’t sleep, little bit of acne.
How do I lower E2 without an AI? Can it be done? I’m lowering pin to .3 twice a week again and staying there as I felt great then.
I also have Masteron coming next week.
Think you math is a little off here
Assuming you have 200mg/ml per your comments
.5ml=100mg x 2 shots = 200mg/wk
.6ml=120mg x 2 shots = 240mg/wk
So did you lower your dose or raise it? From your statements you lowered it. Confirm.
You are well above range at 1772 and at that level I would expect e2 to rise as well. Posting the ranges would be helpful.
If you felt great why would you change anything??
If you are at .5 five and going to .6 you are raising your test. It takes more than a couple weeks at a new level to reach homeostasis.
You really need to clarify what you are doing if you want proper help.
I apologize, I was taking .3 twice a week to start for over a month and moved to .5 twice a week. So started at 120mg up to 200mg as per a friends recommendation. Not knowing anything about blood work and so forth. Now since I’ve been going down the rabbit hole I understand the importance of it. So yes my total test is at 1772 and my E2 total is at 117.
I’m backing it down to 120 mg a week pinning twice. But I’m wondering if that may be too much and also I need to drop my E2 very quickly.
I apologize for the miscommunication. As far as what I am doing, I’m just looking to get a better physique and better lifting. I’m 44 years old and I started off at 495 total T and 92 free T.
Ideally I want the increased libido as well as better physique and lifting qualities.
So then drop back down to 120mg/wk split and wait 4-5 weeks and see how you feel.
As far as the estrogen goes, if you want to drop it quick then take 1mg arimidex 2x per week for a few weeks and get bloods.
You can also try DIMM but that will take more time if it even works for you. I tried it once and it did nothing.
Thanks brother … I guess the protocol is every three or four weeks for blood test and also to trust your body. As far as arimidex I’m trying to figure out how to get it because I know my PCP won’t prescribe it. And if you start to take it do you have to take it the rest your time on TRT?
Can we just confirm this is in pg/mL, and is estradiol and not total estrogens?
Yes it is and yes it’s estradiol
