You need to self-inject T twice a week.
Take anastrozole at time of T injections at rate of 1mg anastrozole per 100mg T. Example inject 50mg T and tale 0.5mg anastrozole.
250iu hCG EOD or 3x per week.
T injected subq is smoother T levels and then works better with anastrozole.
A zinc deficiency is a problem. Beyond that zinc is rather inadequate.
We see some anxiety and panic attacks associated with low iodine and low thyroid function. Yes, elevated E2 can make such worse again.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
**The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.**strong text
When injecting once a week, T and E levels are changing all of the time and lab results are mostly determined by lab timing.
