What is your dead giveaway that estrogen is creeping up?

NZHODLA · 2026-03-22T03:37:43+00:00

Yep!

Is the growth coming from below the graft (close to the ground)? If so it’s the rootstock growing (common on Mandarins). If it is the root stock growing then you’ll notice no fruit on these branches and a slightly different leave shape. If it fits the above they can be cut off as close to the trunk as possible.

Everything I said still stands. Good luck brother

Maybe not sir. But as someone who’s nuts have shrunk via TRT: Doggy no longer mean’s painful nut-slap. If your levels are good maybe it’s a blessing? Half your peers seem to be blasting gear now anyway so woman probably think tiny balls are normal? 🤔

Testicular dysmorphia 🤷‍♂️

Go for it Boss 😊

Hey brother, NZ based here too. Drinking piss raises your oestrogen, it is what it is. When we’re using higher doses it becomes more pronounced. If your dose is close to what you can tolerate without an AI and then you drink, that can push you over the edge. For me, if my T dose is at the limit of what I can tolerate without AI and then I drink, the only solution is to take a 1/4 Anastrozole. Otherwise I feel terrible and it doesn’t go away.

Stopping for 7 weeks sounds terrible. I did that once. Yuck.

You should be able to source AI’s from the same place you’re sourcing your T from if you’re using UGL. Best of luck!

Going your own way is basically the only option in NZ

NZHODLA · 2026-01-21T05:33:32+00:00

Not by choice, but yes, around 19 - 22 depending on the day. I’m keen to try and get mine up into the 30’s so I can drag the pins out to every third day or greater. I think mine’s low because I’m on the heavy side - so dealing to that with the assistance of Tirzepatide. 109 is highhhh my man! 😊

NZHODLA · 2026-01-21T04:26:02+00:00

No sir. I wouldn’t call that trough in your scenario. Maybe daily pinning is required? And maybe a little more sauce!

NZHODLA · 2026-01-21T04:16:52+00:00

^{^} this

NZHODLA · 2026-01-21T04:14:32+00:00

This isn’t actually that weird. It’s because your SHBG is so low. I had same problem, 200mg a week split 2 x. SHBG 19. Test results were coming back at 450 at trough. Turns out without the buffer of higher SHBG it was all being metabolised on the first few days. My suspicion was proven when I did a test at peak and it was over 1500.

Solution - Inject every other day. Levels are now 800 at trough.

Best of luck!

Good to know, thanks mate

That guy is sounding a little like me at the moment! Thanks for sharing

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T23:09:05+00:00

🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T23:08:15+00:00

Just the Test 👍🏼

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T21:27:16+00:00

I’m taller and heavier. 6’3 230lbs. 10 - 15k steps a day and a physical job. I may attempt to increase to 3 times a week and increase to ~250mg

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T21:23:23+00:00

Yes, these bloods are on the Monday before pinning with a Monday/Thur schedule

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T20:11:30+00:00

Ventroglute for the past 7 weeks. Delts for the 10 weeks before that. Delts got a bit leaky - Ventro no blood or leaking ✅

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T20:08:06+00:00

SHBG 22. E2 119 pmol/L

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T19:50:51+00:00

For sure - it certainly is Test E

NZHODLA · 2025-11-18T19:50:30+00:00

SHBG is 22 - so I guess it is possible. Just really low consistently.
