Greetings: I’m on 50 MG of T-Cyp twice a week (total 100mg weekly, as well as 250iu HCG 3 X a week to restore size.
I looking to learn the symptoms of low and high E.
Thanks much
It can be very individual. A lot of guys get some water retention (bloat) from high E2. Low E2 can make you emotionless, make your joints hurt and lots of other weird things. High E2 makes some people overly emotional, and some seem to have ED issues from E2 - there is an argument as to whether it is elevated E2 or an imbalance of E2 versus free test. Either way, the symptoms from high E2 will probably go away on their own unless you have a gyno problem. Low E2 just sucks and should be avoided.

Very much appreciated. Thanks.
Would you say there is an imbalance with below results? :
TT 9.80ng/ml (2.49-8.36)
FT 27.84pg/ml (5.4-40)
E2 66.53pg/ml (11.3-43.2)
SHBG 18.5 (18.3-54.1)
My FT is low compared to my TT but what about FT/E2 ratio? Is my E2 worrisome?
My total T is 2000 and my free is only 35. Seems similar
How about your E2 and HCT? @dextermorgan
@kemosi
E2 = 80
Hct = 47
Same, almost. 1500+ TT, 39 FT, 73 E2, 47 HCT
I know dexter’s protocol is ED inj. total but what about yours @ncsugrad2002 ? Also what is your dosage?
Both your HCT is low compared to me… Mine is 50.5 despite lower dosage than dexter’s. I wonder if that’s got to do with ED injections.
Are you donating blood @dextermorgan ?
@kemosi
I’ve never donated blood but I was anemic pre-trt (HCT was 37 when started and hemoglobin was below range). In that regard we are gong to have different outcomes. 50 isn’t high though. You still have room. I don’t know if daily injections effects HCT differently. I do it because it keeps T constantly at the same level with little to no deviation.
I do cream instead of injections so it’s hard to compare. But I’m using 100mg AM and 50mg PM every day.
Thank you!
I see… Do you have any symptoms of high E2? Or are you optimized with these numbers?
I want to increase my dosage because my FT is low but i am afraid of HCT and E2 further increasing.
I don’t have any issues that scream high e2. I had swollen ankles in the very beginning but that went away on its own.
I have had some sensitivity issues and in the back of my mind I’ve wondered if it’s from that just being too much e2 for me but it’s a long story. I had a few weeks where I felt awesome then the sensitivity issues came back and e2 shouldn’t have changed during that time so I’m not sure what’s causing my issue. I’ve got a long diary thread about it if you want all the details
