Last bloods before next cycle

[Fresh2death]

I'm running 200mg a week trt. These are my test and e2 levels. Every other marker is within range. After the cycle I'll do a full hormone panel. Just wanted to see where I stood beforehand. I pin .5 Monday, .5 Thursday. This was drawn Thursday morning before my usual afternoon pin. I'll probably lower my trt dose a bit after the cycle. (save me some money!)

Nothing wrong with those numbers at all.

That's high for a trt dose. Are you on prescription trt? Through a Dr or a hormone clinic? If a Dr, they're not gonna let you stay at that dose with test levels that high.

Clinic. Can't help Im a strong responder I'll probably taper it down a little after my cycle.

I started out doing the same dose and having the same values. Unlike you though, I developed a bit of gyno from just the test. Currently I'm doing 100mg a week and feel pretty good. I think I like it better at 125mg week, but wanna see where my levels are next week when I get labs done again.

I was going to suggest clinic, then Fresh2death confirmed. 200mg per week seems to be a pretty standard clinic dose.

When did you draw blood relative to your last injection? Peak or trough or somewhere in between?

You might look at adding proviron before adding an AI to help keep the estrogen in check. It seems to do a pretty good job for me, hard to say because I have had a few things in the mix. Masteron is a good choice, too, but I had some blood work just a hair off on it (and the combo of it and proviron tanked my estrogen). Primo is another good choice, I haven't run it yet, but evidently while it doesn't have all the effects of mast, it can be run long term at low dose, without wonking up bloods. Don't quote me on that though, I don't have bloods on it yet.

Right. I was just adding that I too started at 200mg week and had test levels that high. My Dr didn't like it. Trt clinics don't care if it's that high it seems as long as you're not having any sides.

I tried the adex route and though my nupple soreness subsided and the lump shrunk somewhat it didn't go away completely. Now that I've lowered my dose, I haven't had any issues. But my plans cor a cycle once I get my bf down, was to ad some proviron. I have arimedex on hand still as well

I, and a lot of folks here, typically run low dose (25 to 50mg) proviron as part of TRT. Check your bloods of course if you decide to do that, but I haven't had any issues that I am aware of caused by the proviron by itself. Note that it seems to bind to SHBG, not so much bring it down like Mast or other AAS will. That is, my Free T seems up when I have it in the rotation, but the SHBG is still up near top of range.

Drew at almost trough. Was in the morning, injection due that afternoon. Definitely no gyno issues, but I am still gonna tweak the dose and draw again in a few months after I run a cycle.

I am considering running proviron with my trt though!
