I've been doing TRT-like dosages for about 5 months now. Running ~20mg of Test P daily and ~30mg of Mast-E. So total is 140mg Test P and 210mg Mast-E. The low dose cycle is really just a curiosity test to see how my body responds. I intend to PCT pretty quick here. I'm also running 2.5iu Grey Tops (from TP) daily, if that matters.

So a couple questions based on the results of my labs:
1. LH/FSH: I'm running ~500iu of HCG weekly per the literature around here suggesting HCG should be run during cycle as opposed to after. I thought HCG stimulated LH/FSH, so why are these numbers so low? Maybe I have that wrong...is HCG an analog to LH and therefor my body isn't producing it's own LH/FSH, hence the low numbers? As opposed to other heavier cycles where I didn't run HCG, my balls are still really full. They usually shrink considerably without HCG. I have to believe the HCG is doing what it's supposed to be doing...
2. I'm surprised at how low my E2 is given that my post-PCT bloods back in September had it around 10 pg/mL. Could this be the Mast-E suppressing my E? Just doesn't make sense that I'm introducing AAS, my T is double my normal range, but my E2 is half. I'm not taking any AI or otherwise blocking estrogen.
3. Zits; I feel like Enanthate esters make me break out. When I just run Test-P/Anavar; skin is clear. As soon as I introduce an Enanthate (Test/Mast), I get pimples on my shoulders and upper back. Is it reasonable to assume that Enanthate esters could be a culprit for me? Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks for any input!
