As for why the t prop is in- with over a year of dialing in my optimal dose, this is what happened to work best for me in terms of stability and personal feel. Originally started after the first e2 crash to help get some e back but ended up keeping it because it felt good. I could simply drop the prop and that may put me back in a better e2 zone. My last shbg was a few months back in November
TESTOSTERONE, TOTAL =1053 (280-1100)
Shbg = 17 (14-95)nmol/L
TESTOSTERONE, FREE= 33 (4.3-24)ng/dL
E2 28.3
Interesting information about cialis, I’ll have to research that.
While my e2 isn’t abnormally high right at this moment, it is climbing, and that is the issue. It takes about 4-5 months for it to get out of range in a noticeable way. I can only just barely feel it which is why I went and had my blood check to confirm my suspicions. E2 for me feels best close to 30 and 10-15pts either way is noticeable. It’ll never be perfect but the ebb and flow can be kept consistent.
This is a very fine dialing of my approach to what I believe trt should be, balancing results with long term health and longevity. Make no mistake, putting a hormone altering substance in your body is a risk regardless of what you want to call it (trt, cycle) or for whatever reason you are doing it. If you don’t manage the risks or your health properly you’re missing the point of trt and if you aren’t taking full advantage of the benefits of controlling your hormones you’re still taking the same risks to be “normal”
