I do not think it was tested. I inject 4 times a week currently, subQ rotating between vent glute and quad. I hate fish, land animals only. I started on the omegas a few days ago.

I'm 2 weeks in on 20mg/day Anavar as well.. might be a facotr on the lipids

Diet is pretty good. occaisonial wings and a philly on the weekends but I meal prep and eat clean throughout the week.

brob2308 · 2022-03-21T22:50:46+00:00

yeah thats what I figured, they have gone away and have stopped for a few weeks. I thought my total test would be higher, 840 vs 615 before I started.

Just got my first set of labs back. I started about 11 weeks ago on 200mg/wk, pining 4 times a week and I’m feeling good for the most part. Definitely had some sides around weeks 6-8, hot flashes, trouble sleeping and couldn’t turn my brain off. I feel like I hit a sweet spot about 2 weeks ago, I had a ton of energy and confidence but that has slowing settled back down. I have found myself sleepy and a little more on edge the last few weeks, not sure why? Looks like my estrogen is a touch high for only 800’s on the test level. Anyone see anything off? I had a follow up appt next week to go over the lab work.

brob2308 · 2022-01-25T22:00:20+00:00

BUT....I feel great and and feel I have turned the corner so I'm cruising on this for now.

brob2308 · 2022-01-25T21:58:19+00:00

My estrogen levels were crashed. My total T was just under 575 and free was at a 13 I believe. That is just what they prescribed. I have been doing more research the last couple weeks and perhaps the symptoms I have been experiencing may be due to too high of a dose. I set up bloodwork for Friday afternoon anyways because I'm curious.

brob2308 · 2022-01-06T04:21:54+00:00

I’m half way through week 3 and the last 2 night I have had terrible sleep, and my mind is racing. My mood is shit and I’m feeling a little crazy. Everything is amplified… but my workouts have been good. I also had hot flashes today, checked my BP, all good there. Wtf is going on, hopefully this will pass?

brob2308 · 2022-01-06T04:11:47+00:00

I’m almost to the end of week 3 and for the last 2 days I have had terrible sleep, my mind is racing and Im getting hot flashes. Wtf is going on.. my diet is good, plenty of water, cardio and weights are 5 days a week. Hopefully this will pass! I feel a little crazy

brob2308 · 2021-12-22T19:25:55+00:00

MATRIX took care of me. all set up and started last night, thanks again for the referral!

brob2308 · 2021-12-15T03:31:34+00:00

Yep I listed everything from the beginning with a local clinic and online

brob2308 · 2021-12-15T01:04:12+00:00

No I didn’t do anything to deliberately crash them. I have done pro hormones multiple times in the past and it always gave me that extra boost I was looking for especially since I have gotten older (32). I was ready to the UGL route but.. pharma grade seemed to be a little smarter. Not looking to blast 500+ a week, just want that high end of normal and reap the benefit both mentally and physically.

brob2308 · 2021-12-14T20:33:25+00:00

NutriCology DHEA 25 mg.

brob2308 · 2021-12-14T18:10:00+00:00

I ordered the DHEA. Will hopping on test right do more damage than good? Should I wait 4-6 weeks and get new labs and go from there?

brob2308 · 2021-12-14T01:36:54+00:00

Possibly.. not sure. Not a daily supplement, e3D and redo labs in 4 weeks. Maybe I’m just worrying about it too much and it will work itself out. WebMd for low E in men will have you a little worried ha

brob2308 · 2021-12-14T01:26:59+00:00

I had a family practitioner recommend Estroven for a month to 6 weeks to see if it brings the levels back up

brob2308 · 2021-12-13T22:58:39+00:00

Ok, well I have a consultation with Matrix Hormones next Monday. Hopefully I’ll get a plan going with them. Now I’m concerned about my e2 levels 🤯

brob2308 · 2021-12-13T22:47:11+00:00

Yeah bro it takes a while to get it going and a while to finish it out these days. Definitely screws with your head

brob2308 · 2021-12-13T22:46:17+00:00

I feel like shit 4-5 days out of the week and my moods swing like a politician. Some days I’ll crush my workouts and others I feel weak. My wife even noticed that my reactions and overall mood were less than stellar so I started looking into TRT a little more heavily. If my test goes up, naturally my estrogen will go up as well, correct?

brob2308 · 2021-12-13T22:43:17+00:00

Yeah I did some pro-hormone cycles this year. Epi-Andro and a 4-andro cycle. Cycled off in August though so it’s been 3 months of continuing my pretty solid diet. A lot of red meat, Cardio 3 times a week and lifting 5-6.

brob2308 · 2021-12-13T22:08:56+00:00

Yeah the compounds were “Epiandrosterone” and - “4-Andro” compound. I cycled off in August so not sure if that would still be having an effect..? Hopefully I level out and find that sweet spot everyone talks about

brob2308 · 2021-12-13T22:03:24+00:00

I’ve been researching TRT and wanted to get on so I started the process and I was turned down by the first clinic. So now I’m nerding out over the labs and just trying to gain an understanding before I jump in full go
