Let me start by saying I have yet to pick up the lab work, so please bear with my lack of hard numbers.

Pre-TRT test: 261 (range was ~300-1100)

Started Axiron 60 mg (2 pumps per day) about one month ago. Felt great for about a week, with a subsequent crash and burn.

Bloodwork today (per PCP over the phone):

Test: 65.

Estradiol: 49.5 (0-35.8) Boom.

I think we're getting the picture here. Test ---->Estrogen. Exogeneous testosterone has shut down endogenous testosterone.

PCP has called 2 endos and is ready to push me out to someone who has more experience with TRT. Ugh. PCP was afraid to go down in dosage but also did not want to go up since estradiol level was so high.

Yuck. Nevermind that I'm currently out of Axiron as of today and out of pocket costs with insurance and discount card = $270/month. Oy.
