more info regarding my original post

[Guest guest]

Phil,

Thanks for your prompt response to my intial quest(I copied my original post,

its below yours here) ..sorry I didn't include more detail originally re: my

numbers. They are:

 

3 weeks ago:  total testosterone: 200

free testosterone:  0.5 ng/dl

 

Have had one injection a week for last two weeks.  I tested on my own Weds:

 

total testosterone: 1060 ng/dl

free testosterone: still pending @ lab (will be anxious to get this)

Estradiol: 53.9 pg/ml (how high is this??....I feel very bloated and breasts

sore, also no change in drive or wood). I am going to ask doc about Arimidex. Do

these levels warrant that?

 

Tomorrow I am supposed to be schooled on how to give injections myself, and he

said he would start spacing the injections out to 10-14 days vs. once a week. 

In two weeks I am meeting with a specialist, fingers crossed I can get in with

the one you mentioned.   Thanks for your input!

Hi Atl Fuzzy and Welcome,

I don’t know how low your Testosterone levels are or how high your

Estradiol E2 is.  If I were you I would get the E2 down and redo labs see if

your T levels come back up.  Some times getting E2 down your T levels can come

back up some 200 to 300 points and if you were not to low this gets you feeling

better.

Here are some links about this.

http://www.medibolics.com/ArimidexBoostsTestosterone.htm

http://jcem.endojournals.org/cgi/content/full/89/3/1174

In the above link what is going on here is E2 is made from T when the brain sees

high levels of E2 it can't tell if it's T or E2.  So it thinks high levels of

E2 are T and slows down sending the LH and FSH messages to your testis that

tells them to make more T and you end up lower.

OK if you did labs a week after your last shot this is up there but it looks to

me like you did them about 4 to 5 days after your last shot. It's best to do

shots every week doing them every 2 weeks is very old and does not work very

well. Your up after the shot only to fall to low by the next one. When T

levels fall to low this is when we feel like crap. Doing shots puts you on a

roller coaster ride.

At Dr. 's site www.allthingsmale.com read TRT: A Recipe for Success and his

HCG Update he puts this out there free for you and your Dr. Dr. is one of

the best male hormone Dr.'s out there.

Yes your estradiol is to high it's best you start with .5 mgs every other day.
