Some feedback, but I will give a little info first. I started little over a year ago with trt, I originally got the testosterone pellets for the first 9 months and then switched to injections because the pellets got my estradiol levels to over 120. When I went to endocrinology they believed that 60 mg injections a week would put my estradiol levels in normal range, but I worried that it was to low of a dose.
With the pellets my peak after one month was 405 and my estradiol was 121. With the injection I was told to do the blood work 6 days after I inject. Day 6 my total levels were 565, my free was 15.9 on day six and my estradiol was 59.
My endo doc said he believes my peak is was over 1000 and my free are in the low 20’s and tells me it is too high I should start injections at 40 mg a week.
so I just wanted some feedback and also why did such a low dose push my levels that high? My original total was 145 and free was 4.6. What do you think of 40mg injections. a week?
