Hello all...
New to this forum so I apologize if this question has been asked and answered. While I am new here, I do belong to other forums and am familiar with the suggested .25 or .5 dose with a frequency of EOD or E3D. That being said....
I've been on TRT for a little more than a year. The results and success of my treatments are always confounded by estradiol movement. I've learned that a subq injection is best for me. I was doing 60 mg E3D but this week my Dr. switched me to 40mg EOD. So here is where I could use the help. He has me on a .25 dose EOD, doing my shot in the AM and the taking the pill at noon. On day one and early in day 2, I get anxious, feel bloated, a bit foggy and my eyes get watery. By the night before my injection we found that my aromatization activity was subsiding a bit. (We found this out by doing a full 24 hour urine panel) I'm curious if I should take the dose the night before my shot to have a load in my system before I inject? (I just cant seem to find the time (and maybe dose) that really works. It's just like clockwork, I inject and 3 hours later my eyes get messed up and I get a bit of fog. I don't have my exact labs from my most recent stuff from this week in front of me but, my test was at 1130, my SHBG was 17, my free test was about 300 but my estradiol was about 50 with most other supporting estrogen metabolites (estrone etc) all more than double the range.
Also, should I pop a .5 dose in here to get my levels down faster and then continue with the .25?
I appreciate your reading any any advice you have.
