Bloodwork: Low Test, Low Estrogen

Now I wish I would have asked what everyone is using incase it is a certian kind of T.
I’m using T cyp 200mg/ml mixed in grapeseed and like studhammer I just feel good all the time. No ups or downs based on injection frequency.

I’ve never really stopped my T injections to see what happens moodwise.

I’m not sure what the carrier oil is in mine, but it’s 200mg/ml mafe by Perigo. I get it from Walgreens.

I told my doctor that sometimes I feel so good when the test kicks in that it almost feels illegal to feel that good.

Edit - and I have a hard time believing that someone not on trt with the same TT levels naturally that I get from my injections actually feel as good as I do when the test kicks in… It’s kinda like I’m taking a happy drug.

Damnit stop teasing me … grape seed oil is the suggestion of dr crissler .he suggested it on his site and videos… I am pretty sure he suggested it due to absorption and less instances of irritation and etc

That’s what I have. It’s cottonseed.

I did a blood test to check for cottonseed allergy and it came out negative. Not even a low level allergy.
In case anyone interested. Same as doing nut allergy , other foods.

100mg/1ml testosterone cypionate. No idea what the carrier oil is.

I’ve used cottonseed and gso. About to try mct in about 4 weeks. I’ve had both 200 mg/ml and 250mg/ml as well as 300mg/ml

For me, on injection day I don’t feel bad but a bit down feeling. It’s a bit low on libido and I’m not as positive in attitude (smiling or laughing as much) and get a bit tired. I inject my 200mg dose on Friday which I can start to feel on Saturday. Sunday and Mondays are my best days and then I can start to drop off on Tuesday. Libido stays strong Tuesday and mood is good but the energy levels start to drop. Wednesday same thing but libido starts to drop. Thursday I would say energy drops off a lot more and mood starts to drop as well. Libido still good but drops as well. By Friday, energy is definitely down and mood gets flatlined to where I’m a bit tired and not as outgoing. Friday I inject, and I repeat that cycle. Overall though, Wednesday - Friday are days I don’t care for so much. I wish those days would be the same as Saturday - Monday.

I had my blood work done as well and on day 7, I’m at levels I’m sure a lot of people would love except my E2 levels are a bit high (135). But it wasn’t a sensitive test on E2 and I never got a baseline test done when I started my TRT so I’m not sure if my dose is high or if my E2 levels have always been like this. Doc just did a total T test which was 201 and immediately put me in TRT. Felt a very good response and still do! Either way, I still need to work on getting my levels right. My levels on injection day…

Estradiol - 135 pg/ml (Says High)
Total T - 1065 ng/dl
Free T - 265.6 ng/dl

You need to work on feeling good, if you start playing the numbers, you will spend months wasting time chasing numbers.

Do what makes you feel good.

I agree! Im not trying to chase numbers or anything but I am vigilant in my blood work! Kinda worried about breaking the doses up into 2. Will splitting my dose by 2x a week make the effects not as good? I get really good energy around day 2 all the way until about day 4 and im kinda worried by splitting the dose that I won’t have that good energy like I do all the time.

Well think of it like this. So many men are doing micro dosing . If it wasn’t as good they would go back to weekly. Consistency. You’ll be fine. I went from weekly to daily and i didn’t notice anything except my side effects day 2 and 3 disappeared. My end of week depression also disappeared. I felt the same all week, even when the trt hadn’t kicked in fully.

Splitting up the doses will be better as levels will not fluctuate as much, more consistent day to day without the no feelings of high in the beginning of the week and low by the end. You feel the same all the time while lowering estrogen and you will feel better in every way.

All you’re doing by injecting more frequently is keep levels more stable, you feel more stable. No more feeling good for 4 days and then feeling blah after day 4.

I would decrease dosage 10-15%, otherwise your levels will be higher than they are now.

What levels my T levels? I don’t mind that as long as my E2 levels don’t get crazy. Is there something wrong with having high testosterone levels? Sorry guys im a bit new with TRT so forgive me.

Nothing wrong with high levels you just need to watch other health markers in your bloodwork like hct and lipid profiles. That along with e2. As long as you are keeping good bloodwork and feeling good it’s a non issue

I don’t know if I like this 1/2 dosage 2x a week regime. Im feeling kinda down and sad right now for some reason. Normally today would be my happy day lol! But im kinda feeling tired and not wanting to do much or go outside. I did .5ml/100mg on saturday.

I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully its psychosomatic or something lifestyle related. Poor sleep? Is your diet in check and eating/drinking clean? In reality testosterone is not a stimulant. You shouldn’t expect to be “fired up” off any trt dose. That’s all in your head. It may take time to stabilize at these dosages. I would anticipate that after your next injection you should start to feel more stable. Just my 2 cents

Its not a fired up feeling or stimulant feeling. Normally I wanna call people, go outside, make lots of jokes and laugh, or get stuff done but all I wanna do is sit in these PJs and drink coffee to get going lol. We will see. I will stick with it for a bit. Libido aint right either I can tell.

Thank you for your help! Im on Test C. I will stick through it.
