I'm a competitive international powerlifter. Been on HRT for about 2.5 years. The first year, my "doc" had my levels all sorts of screwed up, and I was new enough to it that I didn't really understand the things my body was telling me. So, for about the first year of my HRT, I was taking entirely too much T-Cyp, and was in this constant battle of trying to get the sides under control. I did learn a couple of things through that first year that were quite helpful though. I don't really convert much at all to estrogen, and I'm super susceptible to back/chest acne starting about 2 months in to a higher dose.
First year of HRT (more like a year long low dose T only cycle)
Starting lab numbers were a little sketchy as I didn't get a lot of information back from the "doc" - Total T: 263 - Estradiol: 38
Started @ T-Cyp - 400mg/week - Injected 200mg 2x week, HCG - 1000iu/week - Injected 500iu 2x week, Arimidex - 1mg 3x week
Over the course of the year, the T-Cyp was taken down to 200mg/week, the HCG taken down to 500iu/week and the Arimidex taken down to .5mg 2x week
After going round and round with that "doc", I set off on the journey of find a new doc that was more qualified to help get me to feeling better.
Numbers at the start of the switch to the new doc were:
Total T - 1511
Free T - 388
Estradiol - 19
Also concerning were my hemoglobin and hemotacrit numbers were off the charts.
We spent a couple of months getting everything dialed in and now I've got rock solid numbers of:
Total T - 930
Free T - 185
Estradiol - 25
Hemoglobin and Hematocrit numbers are both still higher, but within range.
Current script is:
T-Cyp - 120mg/week - Injected 60mg 2x week
HCG - 500iu/week - Injected 250iu 2x week
1.5 grain Thyroid - 1/day
.25mg Anastrozole - 1/week
I'd really like to add a couple/few 8 week blasts throughout the year. Maybe something like a simple T-Enth - 600mg/week combined with Tren-E 300mg/week? Looking for any and all advice.
