Hello,
I have been on TRT for almost a year now. I am a patient of Dr. John's. . .
I am 29 and my last lab results (done on a Thursday afternoon) were as follows:
% Free Testosterone 3.3 2.0-4.8
Free Test 28.4 9-30ng/dl
Total Test 861 240-950
Bioavailable Test 370 83-257
DHT 70
SHBG 29 10-60NMOL/L
Estradiol 25 (range goes to 70)
My current protocol:
100mg Test Cyp. Every Sunday
60mg Armour
1iu HGH per day
My symptoms:
Ever since I have started TRT I have gained about 12lbs. It is mostly water and bloat. Most recently, the last month or so, I have noticed my chest and nipples have gotten extremely itchy, not sore but very itchy. Additionaly, last week I began Dr. John's HCG protocol. My nipples got even itchier. . .
I would like to know if this is gyno? Also, does everyone get this bloated when on TRT?
Also, I can't seem to lose weight at all. No matter how hard I try, I can't lose any weight. I train 4-6 times per week and have a clean diet low in carbs.
Do I have an estrogen problem even though my Estradiol is 25?
Dr. John says my Estradiol and SHBG are in range, but my symptoms are not indicative of being optimal.
I would like others to share their thoughts here. . .Dr. John will not let me try Arimidex as this may throw my other values out of whack, understandable. I will also be trying DIM and will lower my dosing of Test from 100 to 80mg to see if this makes a difference.
Any thoughts are very appreciated. Thanks
