TRT bloodwork questions

gulfcoast · Mar 1, 2015

Did a true 3 month cruise on TRT/low dose T and then got BW done.
Took nothing but 300mg Test C - 1/2 Mon, 1/2 Thurs. No G, peps, AI - just T, vitamins and food. Pinned early Mon morning and then drew blood Thursday morning before pinning.

T was 1576 and E was 63.
Questions - Obviously 300mg EW is too much for TRT for me. Next time to be closer to 1000-1200 T how much should I run EW? 200? 250? 2nd question - Is E high enough to worry about? Even 1/2 tab ADex EOD really screws with my lipid profile.

150 to 200 is trt dosage, even lower but to put you at 1000 prob in that range.

Aromasin is a great ai and won't effect your lipids .you don't want to keep e2 that high for too long

Many people use testosterone cypionate/enanthate at 50mg/week or 100mg/every two weeks. This yields pretty good results and keeps most people right around 600-800ng/dL.

Before adding an AI, why don't you try lowering your dose and seeing how your body handles the lower dose. Your body may very well have been trying to reduce its testosterone level by converting the testosterone to estrogen.
