Feedback Needed For TRT Results

I was on the cream for 11 weeks and switched to the shots. After 5 weeks I got bloodwork. My dose was only 50mg a week. Yes 50mg a week. .25CC of 200mg once a week. Also taking 200mg of DHEA a day because that was very low. At 100mg it was still low via a saliva test. Before taking any test or HCG 16 months ago my total test was 333. While on HCG total test went as high as 600. Estrogen was low. Here are my results. I was tested three days after I injected.

Total Test 1160 250-1100
Free 207.5 46-224
Bioavailable 435.9 110-575
DHEA 817 106-464
Estradiol 88 39pg/ml or less

My doctor who is the only HRT person within 2 hours of me wants me to lower my test to 40mg a week and stay on the Dim detox (100mg a day). Also to decrease DHEA from 200mg to 100mg. She won't give me estrogen blockers because she thinks they are women. My main goal is to get energy and increase my muscle size a bit. My job depends on my body. If I go to my regular MD I will have to do all this on my own because like most MD's she knows very little about this.

My muscle mass is unchanged, but most is from me not training hard because I was on a baby dose of test. Had no idea it could go up on that dose. I feel pissed off and tired often. I guess that is because I'm basically a woman with the high estrogen. My sex drive is still very high, but for the most part it's been high all along.

I want to continue to take 50mg of test a week, reduce DHEA to 100mg and take an estrogen blocker and/or increase the DIM.

I want to add that she told me if I test the levels on day 7 after injection instead of day 3 that they would only slightly go down. maybe to 1000 total test. She also said at this low of a dose I may still be producing my own test which is why it's so high.

I've been talking to a member who has been very helpful. I am wanting to get more opinions on what I should do. BTW, that pic was from two years ago when I was on low dose of anavar only. I've lost about 10-15 pounds of muscle.

Thanks

I'm confused, are you on hcg now? and at what dose? Backing off the DHEA could solve the E2 issue itself. I wouldn't go on the AI yet, if you can handle the DIM keep taking it. But you need to talk to her about your test dose. I really wouldn't want to lower it much more. But how do you feel? Day 7 any difference? overall feeling fairly well? Might ask her if you can just make one change at a time and do blood work, specifically lower the DHEA, and keep test same for now.

Your free test is great, I'd try and stay at 50mg a week. I am at 130 a week (still not totally dialed in) and my free test is still at the bottom of the range. If I could take less and have those numbers I'd be happy. Ultimately it comes down to how you feel, so how do you feel?

Seoinage, I am only taking 50mg weekly of test and no hcg . She had me take hcg only first for almost a year and it did not work. Overall I still have somewhat low energy. I'm thinking it's the high estrogen that is doing it. It could be mental because I was convinced at 50mg a week that my levels would be around 400 and she was wasting more of my time instead of giving me a real dose. I wonder if the lab work is correct.
