In what way?
a few more follow ups
-
i have thought about bumping up my test as my sex drive and motivation overall have been lacking for quite some time … just suggest to just chill and keep pace at 120/wk?
-
so i will assume you boys were “too tight” so you added more HCG to your protocol in an attemot to make them hang lower, and that in turn added more E to your system, and that made them tighter? I am making a lot of assumptions … please correct me if i am wrong

what was the fallout overall of these changes
appreciate the info
First let me say I’m no expert and recently came here, or at least began posting, recently for more guidance…
But I can say I’m fairly experienced at doing it the wrong way! I don’t want to see you or others experience that so I’m sharing what I’ve experienced.
I do personally believe HCG is important and makes my balls fuller. BUT when my E2 isn’t in the sweet spot (which is still an unknown to me), they don’t hang and pull close to my body.
Like I said, I’d really like to add it back in. I like my balls how they naturally were. But I want to identify how much influence it has on my E2. That’s something I never was patient enough to determine.

So in other words, they could have been pulling close due to E2 being too high. In an attempt to correct that, I’d up the HCG dose/frequency. That adding more E2.
Then to counteract that, I’d up my AI dose…and round and round I’d go!
i appreciate the info. i havent been on the forums long but i have not seen anyone really discuss how their boys hang. however i have embarassngly asked a coupld docs over the years why mine are so tight … i had always assumed that maybe work stress or “being anxious” was the answer even though i did not feel anxious … anyway, i never thought ‘hey maybe its hormones’ even though i did think my sex drive was sub par. However, i also thought my sleep quality was garbage so i blamed that, and never pushed for hormone testing. this has gone on for over a decade. hell maybe two at this point. its funny how exploring one thing leads to another, so thanks for sharing that info. thinking back i might have had low T / high E (or something like that) that was causing my boys to go into what felt like combat mode, and hide all these years …

Just so you know you are in good company some of us, myself included, feel that they may have been low T all/most of their life.
Also, my nuts pull up close when my E2/T ratio is way off. Like TT of 1100 and E2 of 90. They hang much better at TT of 1900 and E2 of 90.
Edit: Also (TMI WARNING) when my ratio os way off my ejaculate disappears. There is either none or very very little.

Sounds like apocrine bromhidrosis which is most common type of bromhidrosis and results from the bacterial breakdown of apocrine sweat, essentially all within the armpit area. Fatty acids and ammonia are the major products of bacterial breakdown and the odour has been described as pungent, rancid, musty or “sour and sweet”. As a health care provider in dermatology I see this all the time. Using clindamycin solution daily to your underarms or an over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash in the shower will likely kill the bacteria that is giving off the odor. Botox to the underarms will stop the sweating as well thus decreasing the odor.
Hope that helps.

what products contain this compound?
It is a perscription from a medical provider. There is no OTC clindamycin.
Hey
Total T: upper 680’s
E2: 12 (11.5-45) LOW
DHT 176 (350-850) LOW
Currently feel horrible. Dry tired eyes. I feel like sweat does not want to exit the body. High and Tight Scrotum. Frequent Urination, Cold penis, Numb genitals. Body odor is like its just water coming out of my armpits (its missing something) but it smells horrible, like burnt sweat almost… I believe this is due to Low estradiol…
Dude…
Sorry, I am not myself anymore. I am a fraction of the person I used to be ever since this happened. Im just desperate trying to figure out what happened to me.
I honestly don’t think the TRT forum of T-Nation is the place for these answers. I feel for you, I really do, but the expertise to try and diagnose you isn’t here. If you are on FB look up Danny Bossa. He is running a private TRT group over there and he has a few doctors at his disposal. Maybe something in your issues will spark something from them. Worth a shot.

Danny wanted me to tell you to message him on facebook as he was wondering who you were.

Majority are low e2.
Your Free T levels are not the best, 12 ng/dL (16-31 ng/dL) is low, so it’s no mystery why estrogen and DHT are low. There are a lot of men who have suboptimal Free T and low E2 and low DHT.
Your estrogen and DHT will never increase unless Total T increases substantially, more than your ever produce naturally.
I am not on trt, so I am a little lost 
I should add that my e2 level of 12 (11.5-45) Is on the normal test not the sensitive one…
Ok as long as you are getting help. How old are you?
25 now, I was 21 years old when this happened. I felt like superman before, now I feel like an old man…
Im not on there but may create an anon account to check out the group. I hope you found some direction over there.
