Testosterone struggles

Hey guys I'm hoping someone here can help me out with trying to dial in with testosterone. After injecting 40mg EOD and 250iu of hCG EOD for 3 weeks my blood work came back and my test is 1486 and my estradiol was 190pmol (both high). Everything else is within range. I was initially taking 60mg EOD (240mg a week) but now doing 160mg a week because my estradiol was too high. I decided to introduce an AI at .25mg EOD but am experiencing no differences, especially with libido and mental clarity so I'm wondering what my next course of action should be. Do I wait a few more weeks to stabilize? Do I lower my dose to 120mg a week and drop the AI? Perhaps add primo? It's tricky for me to get blood work with traveling and I'd like to reap the benefits of what I'm taking or at least feel better than I do.

sounds like you started HCG too soon. I had similar thing happen when I went on test after being on hcg mono , test sky high and estrogen ~90 while using sin 12.5 1x weekly

id give it a few more weeks, id consider stopping hcg for a few weeks, dialing in without it, then adding it back in at the minimum dose once you are dialed. Currently 500 iu HCG 2x weekly for me, just looking to keep them turned on, without jacking up my E2. HCG works very well for me, and I understand you can get desensitized to it, but apparently short periods of time off desensitize you

Hi everyone,
I am new here first off. Decided it was time for TRT after struggling for over 7 years of low T. Just ordered Test E and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for me for a starting dose. I have run test in the past with no issues but it was sus250. I had done my home work and got an AI just incase but just putting this out there since I know everyone is different. I know you guys will probably say get the blood taken before I start, but I am just kinda wingin it.

If you want true TRT, maybe 160-200mg a week

If you want your test slightly higher than TRT, 250/week would be a good starting point.

If you’re looking for more of a cycle, then 500mg/week. Then it’s just a matter of dialing in estrogen control
