Currently I’m taking Test C 250mg SQ a week. My lab results were before I treated myself. My doctor wouldnt treat me even with all the symptoms. From Kaiser Test 479ng/dl (240-871) was previously 237 (then I lost weight), free 9.8 (7.0-36.7), shbg 34 (11-78),LH was 3.4 and FSH was 5.5. So 6 weeks later i got labs done per discounted labs. MY current labs are from labcorp test >1500 range 264-916 and free 34.6 (6.8-21.5)and estradiol sensitive 125.1 (8-35). I now know my current dose is too high. My question is should I take arimidex now and decrease dose or just decrease dose and wait, If I wait how long should I wait till I get another lab test. Thanks for any help. I will be getting HCG this week, I realize that is an important part of the regime. I can tell my testicles have gotten smaller.
What’s are your stats? Lab Ranges? Diet? BF? Energy levels? How do Feel? Libido? Erections? Workouts? Lots of info missing.
Are you taking thst 250 in one large dose or split up doses?
Decrease the dosage is the best safest course of action.
Did you properly diagnosed by your doctor?
I se no thyroid labs, low thyroid function mimics symptoms of low testosterone. You can check thyroid function by checking morning and afternoon oral body temperatures, see thyroid sticky.
Put ranges in previous note, TSH 1.30 uIU/mL 0.35 - 4.00 uIU/mL. Temperatures have been 98.3-98.8. I’m 46 y/o. 5’9" 243 pounds. Dexascan 30%bf. I’m on the Ketogenic diet. Good energy levels now, Libido decent, erections are hit and miss. They are better now. Previously only one or two a week. More now but duration of erection can be an issue without constant stimulation. Currently now doing body weight exercises. I take the injection in one large dose. I take supplements, of chelated magnesium, vitamin d3, alphalopoic acid, coq10, zinc, boron, Ashwagandha, PhosphatidylSerine, NAC.
You need to split those shots up or you may find yourself getting less relief with each injection. Never heard of anyone doing 250mg SQ before, protocol is a disaster.
You need to do 50mg twice weekly SQ or IM.
Will do that, do you think I should wait till my next injection then? Wait two week before next dose. I injected last night.
Wait till next injection.
Honesty I’d caution going from 250sq 1 injection all the way down to 50mg twice weekly SQ as @systemlord recommended. Not saying I don’t ageee with the lower more frequent dosing. I definetly do. However if you’ve been on that 250 once weekly a while cutting the dose by 150 % weekly is def going to shock your system. I’d prefer a gradual come down.
Spiltting the injections will cause changes in itself. Splitting the dose while drastically reducing total dose will cause greater changes.
Why not a more gradual reduction splitting say 200 or 175mg into 2 sub q injections and give it 4-6 weeks? Just my 2 cents. @iron_bloodrn
Those numbers are out of the park for sure. Do you have any high E2 symptoms? Did you get your HCT measured? That’s a biggy when running a +1500 trough you don’t want your blood getting too thick. How is your blood pressure is it OK or has it been going up?
