It was not an overnight cure. I had lots of problems. Some doctors wanted me to take too much T some too little. An AI is standard protocol for some doctors. Some docs only wanted an injection every 1 or 2 weeks which was horrible. If I inject 100mg a week my estrogen does not Go up enough. I have to inject 150mg. Some wanted hcg added … some didn’t.
Testosterone is not a magic pill that works overnight and In fact of you change your dosage Or protocol you have to wait over 6 weeks just to see how you feel because of steady state and how small changes make things fluctuate. Most don’t want to mess with this for 6 months and have blood tests once a month to get “dialed in”. I know my issue is estrogen and I’ve had to adjust my protocol many many times. … I inject into my fat (subQ) every other day. I have a friend at work with low T (under 300 and nothing related to PFS). He tried testosterone for 6 weeks and quit because he said it didn’t work. That’s just not long enough.
again I’m not hete to promote trt for everyone. I know it’s not for everyone but if you know the estrogen is causing this then you can attack this different ways.
I’m no doctor and can’t claim this is the same issue for everyone but it makes so much logical sense. I’m at least 100% it was my issue as getting my testosterone to estrogen ratio makes me immediately normal. I’m sure people here may have perfect estrogen with PFS but I’ve been asking people what their ultra sensitive e2 test results were And no one has ever had it tested yet. Most have not even had a normal estrogen test. Again if you pop in to any trt forum, they all have thus test. It’s just standard protocol
