In another thread (TRT Sent T Way Too High), you were recommended:
This is very reasonable. I’m not sure the reason you are so opposed to an AI, but it likely isn’t needed if you lower your TRT dose.
Why not lower your dose and wait a bit before you figure this out?
Your provider probably wanted to wait because early labs make things look chaotic. Waiting until about the 8 week mark tends to be a good time to test because most of the big changes are over - at which point it makes sense to adjust course accordingly.
Thank you, but this likely isn’t true. They have you on a reasonable (for most) dosage and pinning 2x per week SubQ… Your provider probably knows their stuff, as this is the best practice for >95% of the population. You’re just on the far-end of the bell curve on T response.
Sincerely, discuss with your provider the swollen face and mention that you believe your TT levels are too high; say you would like to lower dose. I do believe they know what they are talking about, based on your protocol. Also note that they may write this off as it quite literally is too early to start adjusting course with your protocol… it does make sense to wait for the 8 week mark and evaluate then.
