2 weeks in, few questions, E2, acne etc....

[Brickhouse]

Well guys I am 14 days into my TRT. So far I have found.....

Better moods
Slight raise in confidence
More energy

The not so goods....

Acne (Although suffered very badly since 15 with acne so I kind of knew I would break out in spots)
Anxiety is still high if not worse than before I started TRT.
Sore nipples
Sex drive is still low, but I can get an erection but it is proving rather difficult to climax.

I would have thought my anxiety would have gone down due to the slight extra confidence....But looking into raised E2 which I think I have due to very sore/tender nipples I think the raised E2 could be making my anxiety worse?

Anyone experienced or known of anxiety levels to get worse if E2 levels are high?

[Mario L]

Anxiety is a symptom of high e2.

[kelkel]

Any prior BW for E2 or do you have any planned for the near future?

Not saying to think about stuff, but give it some time... you won't be reaching a steady state level for a couple more weeks. Things could get worse or level off. As my wife would say: "be a man."

LOL! i agree (see we agree on something!), i think its too soon for much to happen especially high E2 or symptoms of high e2, it could be in your head, it happened to me, believe me i know the feeling. of course no one really knows unless you do blood work.

But, if he is on TRT wouldn't one of the original symptoms already be elevated E2? How quickly does Test Aromatize, could be possible his E is elevated, started high and built on that? But as the above stated, w/out bloodwork who knows?

I like your thinking, Herman!

I felt the nipple problems the first week or so and then they went away and had e2 checked and was fine.

Still very early Brickhouse, give it some time, E2 unless it was originally very high, I wouldnt THINK that in 2 weeks it would skyrocket and you would be exhibiting sides, but as stated W/out BW who knows. Just my own personel experience the "pure placebo" effect did wonders for me right off the bat, but that quickly wore off and the actually meds started kicking in. To your point of Anxiety, dont really know if TRT is a solution for that??? More experienced brothers here can correct me if Im wrong. Hopefully, confidence increases thus alleivating some of the anxiety, but dont think it will dissapear all together. I would think their would be other underlying issue's for that.

Can't remember what your protocol looks like, are you on an AI? Post up your protocol for us. That said......it's too early to mess with or change anything, that is if your protocol is somewhat normal.

BTW....every time I see your screen name I start singing that song........."she's a briiiick.....houuuse"

[kelkel]

You showing your age JD!

[JD250]

Oh man!! That's a timeless classic Kel, isn't it? Maybe I am old but the Commodores were way before my time . Ever watch the movie "house guest" ? I always think of the party scene when everyone is drunk and singing that song...... yea, I probably am old, but I can still sing....."she's mighty might.....just lettin' it all hang out..........the ladys stacked and that's a fact.....36-24-36, what a winning hand"

LOL.....admit it.......everyone of you guys has that damn song stuck in your head now don't you? And every time Brickhouse makes a post you're gonna start singing.

Sorry for the hijack.....carry on.
