Having a hard time falling asleep and maintaining errections, emotional. Ive been on trt for a year test cyp 150mg. Recently upped to 200mg split twice per week but now all the sides of come up. Im using anastrozole 1 mg split twice on injection days. Could this be high estrogen? No joint pain or negative mood. Im just looking for some help. Lowered dose back down to 150 mg. Work out 5 days a week.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
@ 160 mg per week my levels were 701 free test estridol was around 80 out of 160 referance range( sorry i cannot for the life of me remember the correct unit of measurement)
Get bloods done. Typically when you change protocol your hormones need to find homeostasis again and you could potentially not fell great while that is happening. You’ve just changed it twice so stay where you are and give it 4-6 weeks. Why did you raise your dose?
Unfortunately chasing a number. Thinking more would be better. Starting out my levels were around 200 so i feel 100 percent better then when i started. Trt clinic has been amazing. I have blood work again in 6 weeks. Just trying to optimize my strength and workouts. But seemed to backfire with these sides.
This is pretty much the worst thing you can do. Find a mg/wk that you feel good on and you have good bloodwork on and hopefully no need for an AI.
Numbers mean nothing if you feel like shit.
Im finding that out. Thanks for your help. Im sticking with the 150 mg per week. I feel good at that dose. I dont know how some guys can blast and not feel terrible
They upped my dose. But the clinic is hard to get ahold of out of your scedualed visits. I also had to switch from a mass produced test cyp to a compounded version due to a shortage. I was wondering if they are different strengths. I know they are labled the same but the sides didnt start until i switched to the compounded test. I wont lie i have experimented with higher doses and never had these sides before. It seems that i always have a significant amount of test cyp left over before my next refill.
Yes only got my levels to 510 and wasnt feeling that great. Im down 60 ilbs and have another 25 to go. Find im aromatising less at my current weight. But everyonce in a while get a couple sleepless nights and emotional days. Im going to keep at 150 and continue working out. See how it goes. Not going to push my luck with a higher dose. Thanks for insight!
