How Important is HCG Really?

Some feel like death with those E2 levels.

I’m sure man.

TRT is really individualistic.

Lot of trial and error.

Right now i am either going to lower T and drop AI all together, or take your advice of 70/250/.25 (eod)

I guess I have a decision to make.

I really just want to balance out at this point.

Somebody I really respect does:

50/500iu (2x/wk) No AI.

I’ve made up my mind; good, bad, or ugly.

65/250/.25 (mwf)

I am going to get labs in 4-6 weeks.

That looks reasonable. If labs show E2 crashed, you are probably then an anastrozole over-responder and should then stop anastrozole for 5-6 days then resume at 1/4th the dose. You would then need a liquid preparation to dispense those small amounts.

E2=22pg/ml is a good target for most. If you get a lab result that is in diagnostic range, you can calculate the new dose. Example, if you get E2=30, new dose - old dose X 30/22

Ksman,

I really appreciate your input.

I rechecked my labs and 60/250/.25 (2x/wk)

Free T 125 (50-150) despite TT 512

E2 was 17

This was on day 3.

I am still getting e2 spike on day of hcg so it’s complicated.

What do you think about 60/250/.25 (e3d)

Or should I lower hcg?
