I got prescribed TRT after years of being tired all the time, brain fog, depression, low sex drive, unable to build muscle, etc. I got my levels checked mt total T was 116 ng/dL and my free T was 2.9 pg/mL.
My doctor started me off low an eventually moved me up to 100mg of Testosterone Cypionate via injection twice a week. After about 7 months on it my total T is now sitting around 850 but I've found I feel super bloated since I've been on it and now my nips are starting to get a little sensitive. My Estrogen Total is 328 pg/mL.
My doctor likes to prescribe Evista(Raloxifene) for it but he says he's not sure if my insurance will cover it. I've been trying to research around the effects of estrogen blockers and if I need it, if it's worth, how long to I take it for, if I cycle or if it's forever. But it's very difficult to find information related to simply TRT and men.
From my understanding the estrogen will continue to rise as I am not TRT and I'd rather not get gyno.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
