How much higher was your estrogen than your testosterone?
Not exactly sure, getting labs draw again. I can say these red dots were popping up like crazy for awhile before I lowered the dose. I still notice them from time to time. This is the reason I believe I can get dialed in better. Iāll post by most recent labs once theyāre drawn.
Btw, fun fact, you can use a lighter and pin tip to make these red dots go away. Find the video on YouTube. I have been able to remove a few this way. Sounds crazy but it works I swear. Just tap the hot pin needle to them real fast and theyāll go away. Leave it for too long and you will get scarring.
I also also adjusted 120mg to 40mg MWF to see if it can help this symptom.
Once in a while I weeks weāre I just eat fast food, sugar, and alcohol, lol. Then I feel like the scum of the earth and go back to eating mostly whole and unprocessed food.
For anyone interested I notice the dots most in the following places: check, back, torso, nose. Can anyone relate?
It was explained by Dexter. Itās not estrogen dominance, itās a rection to higher androgens in gerneral and goes away once your body gets used to having androgens again.
all my research says they donāt go away on their own ā mine didnāt
Are they bumps, burst capillaries, or something different?
burst capillaries ā ācherry angiomasā
I was about to ask about acne so guess Iāll ask here.
Any suggestions for what to actually do about all this back acne? Iāve seen some say that dial soap and one of those back scrubber on a stick things to really clean your back is a good place to start. I havenāt had acne like this since high school.
On the plus side my wife is having a blast busting these things on my back.
Iām getting to the point where Iām starting to get scars from it though so I need to get it under control.
I did recently bump from 190 to 210mg a week so maybe itāll settle down on its own in a few more weeks?
Wellā¦a healthy male probably doesnāt makes more than 70mg of testosterone a week, so youāre not too far off the top end of max standard production. Although you need to consider that Test C & E are only about 70% T, so 60mg of one of those esters a week is about 42mg of Tā¦which is about the average for a young healthy male.
I suspect the reason many people wouldnāt do well on that amount is due to weekly or every other weekly injections. 60mg once a week (or worse, 120mg every 2 weeks) would suuuuuuck due to the low levels youād get by the end of the week. Split it into daily doses and you might be doing OK.
Even at 100mg a week, shot once a week, youāll go from above normal blood levels the day after the shot to below normal scale levels the day before the nextā¦probably.
Iāve been feeling great at about 100 a week for the past month or so. Iāve carved it up into daily shots though, so itās probably similar levels to someone doing 120-150 once a week.
Estered test and natural are not the same thing and itās not a 1 for 1 equation. If it was, everyone would just take normal production amounts and be in normal range. You lose a certain percent right off the top to the ester and the rest processes differently than natural test.
No argument at all bro - addressed some of that in my message. 
These cherry angiomas are genetic and everyone gets some as you get older 30+ Also you canāt have estrogen dominance while injecting testosterone. Dominance means your estrogen levels are higher then your testosterone levels. Which Iām sure theyāre not.
Perhaps dominance isnāt the correct work but elevated estrogen is. They 100% correlated with upping my dosage of TRT, just sayingā¦ Yes I realize age and genetics are a factor too.
My e2 at close to 120 a week is near 30. When I was at 90 a week it was closer to 20. Near 20 I get back pain and clicking on several joints.
Near 30e2 no pain.
Just wondering why you chose to go with MWF instead of EOD? Iām currently at E3D but thinking to move to either MWF or EOD at the 6 week mark (currently in week 4). Thanks.
MWF is just easier to stay on schedule and is pretty much EOD.
If you think youāre not doing well, then go for it. If you are doing well, youāre taking a chance of messing yourself up for a few months as you bounce back to the higher dose.
Iām the guy, referred to up above by @roscoe88, who is currently on 35mg per week split x2. I donāt recommend going this low for anyone unless they share the problems I do when I go over 90mg, or have untenable side effects. If I inject more than 90mg I get nightmare anxiety and panic with a heart rate through the roof for 2 straight days. Itās incomprehensible to anyone who hasnāt been through it.
But Iāve been on 80mg total x1, 80mg total x2, 60mg total x2 and now 35mg x2 and as of now there is no doubt this is where I do best.
My other advice is if you do make the switch, you have to give it at least eight weeks before making any assessment. Iāve changed doses a few times. You canāt assess shit the first four or five weeks.
Where does 35mg per week put your total and free T?
Before trt, my total t was 170. I canāt imagine 35mg per week for me, would even put me over my pre-trt levels.
