were you using an AI?
No. My T went from 520 ng/dl (E2 22) to 720 ng/dl (E2 50) trough which might just be too high for me. I have lowered the dose and will recheck in a month or so.
I just recently quit drinking so I have no idea how my hydration/dehydration/water retention will pan out over the next couple of weeks.
What were the symptoms that you felt at 700 total T but not at 500 that made you feel you were on too high of a dose?

I woke up this morning and immediately took my shot…went to the bathroom for my morning shower and… I have acne on my face! How awesome is that!? Trt is working! I feel great today! Hopefully it lasts through the day.
That’s a good sign things are changing within your body. I remember how excited/and frustrated I was when I got my first TRT pimple on my forehead… Hahaha.
Keep it up!
@bcostigan41.
Right?! Life is getting pretty good! It is amazing to finally know what I am fighting against and how to beat it.
Congrats men! Keep strong
Felt overstimulated and started to develop sleeping problems. HCT came back at 55 (before 47) which is an indication of overmedication.
Thanks but no strength or willpower required. My eyes have been opened and I am now fully embracing my life and all that I have been missing. I assure you I will never have another drink in my life. The brainwashing has ended.
You may see the ache resolve on its own after 6 weeks, if not levels might be a little higher than you had natural. I had crazy ache in the mid 600’s at which point I knew it was higher than I ever had naturally.
I did find injecting smaller more frequent doses cleared the ache right up, but remember depending on the size of the dose you convert T -->E2 as well as FT–>DHT and the size of the dose can influence the conversion rate.
I had some pretty decent acne on my back and face after starting. It seems to have mostly gone away but I’m still a bit oilier than before esp on my face. Oh well, I’ll just be shiny.
I have had a very decent day today. My mindfulness is as good as I can remember it ever being and I am about to go to bed because I am actually sleepy…not tired or worn out…straight up sleepy! What a great feeling to have again. My mood is super chill and mellow. Has heen for most of the day. Was a little down this morning but tapered to chill and content by 10am. Very oily skin…no acne anymore. Have a great night.
Have not checked in for some time… Libido is coming back and is better than it has been in two years… seeing increased strength at the gym. Acne cleared up. Shaving twice as often. Mentally I am doing far better then I’ve been in six or seven years. Stamina is good and bad…comes and goes… feel hot when I sleep. Nothing terrible. Feeling good overall.
@systemlord @NH_Watts @hardartery @johann77 @ncsugrad2002 @dextermorgan Picture taken today. 3 and a half weeks on trt. Up five pounds but it is not on my waist. Up ten to fifteen pounds across all lifts. I am sure its water weight. Feeling good. Libido is good. Mind is good. No acne. My energy drops out at times and my body feels hot when I sleep and my heart beat is stronger. I am not worried about any of this. Three and a half to 5 weeks to go to level out.
