Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 If your Endo started you on 5 grams of gel and you went down in your levels this happens. Your levels were 350 when you started you add androgel say 5 grams this is what the starting dose is. In the insert the last time I read it it says to check levels in 2 weeks. Hear is what can happen your brain sees the gel putting the T into your blood so it stops sending the LH message to your testis to make T. So the gel might have got you up to 616 the LH goes down and your left with what the gel is doing 266. Most go up to 10 grams and get there levels up to about 600 to 700. I don't know what your dose was on the second labs but if you were on the same dose and went down to 166 you need to try 10 grams. If this dose not get your levels up into the upper 1/3 of your labs range then your skin is not letting the gel through. You need to switch to shots. I feel the need to tell you Endo's are not good Dr.'s for this they just don't know enough about it. We have one or two men here that have a good one the rest have bad stories about them. I have seen 7 of them in the last 25 yrs not one helped me they set me back taking me off TRT for what they call a base line lab. Sending me to there labs that they own saying my labs are no good. My BCBS would not even pay for this labs all they found out taking me off my meds was how sick they made me. And still they did not get it right. I have been told I am Primary meaning my testis don't work. Just 2 yrs. ago I found out on my own I am secondary meaning my Pituitary is not working right. Now after all these yrs. we are treating all the things that were low normal on my labs and I now feel good only took 23 yrs. You need to find a good Dr. the one that helped me the most I never seen him he helped me posting at a forum like this one. Go to his site and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and his HCG Update. He puts this out there free for us and are Dr.'s he is one of the best man's hormone Dr.'s out there. If you can get your family Dr. to work with him over the phone to test and treat you he dose this. Also men drive or fly out to MI. to see him after he sees you once he then can treat you by Email or over the phone. www.allthingsmale.com This is his forum I am also a mod there. http://www.musclechatroom.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s= & daysprune= & f=2 Co-Moderator Phil > From: matttaylor99 <matttaylor99@...> > Subject: Re: how to lower estrodiol > > Date: Friday, July 11, 2008, 8:09 PM > WEll, had gyne surgery last week it went well. > I am have having problem though with androgel, I started > 6 weeks ago > on the gel with T at 350 [ 400-122 range] , mid june > I was at > 266, last week retested at 166! > endo going on vacation till august 11th, his solution > was to to > increase androgel [ which I have allready] till he gets > back. > I am going to another doc tuesday, I feel like shit > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I have very high estrodiol, > low testosterone > > > > > > > > > > > > > > started on testosterone > cream, but the arimidex sent me into a > > > > > > > nasty depression. > > > > > > > I was on 1 mg 2x a week > > > > > > > > > > > > > > any other way to lower > estrodiol other then arimidex? > > > > > > > > > > > > update > > > > > > > > > > > > I have had a resurgence of severe > depression, the AD meds have > > > > > > pooped out.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Good advise there. My new Dr. is very open minded. I took this paper to him last week along with the updated HCG protocol. We wrote my name on the top and said he would definately read it. He said his patients learn from him and he learns from his patients. Almost makes you want to cry! Maybe that is my high E2? I said Dr. recommends small doses of HCG along with TRT for a couple of reasons. He said that sounded reasonable.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I need to ask how do you put it on. I would get up shower then shave by this time I am dry. I would put 5 grams on my left side upper arms and shoulders and down my back as far as I could reach. With Androgel you need only to spread it over this area then let it dry from wet do not rub it in well. This I did the other side the same way anything left on my hands I rubbed on my sides. If your do it this way then I would say it's not geting through your skin and you need to switch to shots. Start at 100 mgs every week. Check your levels in 8 weeks if your not up into the upper 1/3 of your labs range for both Free and Total T then go to 125mgs every week also keep your estradiol down near 20 pg/ml here read this link. http://www.griffinmedical.com/male_hormone_modulation_therapy.html Do you shots your self and you don't need a dam big size needle you can do shots with a small 27g 1ml x 1/2 " lg. needle the oil comes out of the vile slow so I just pull the plunger all the way down and hold it the oil comes out in about 2 min.'s. Don't let your Dr. talk you into shots every 2 weeks this just puts you on a roller coaster ride up after the shot then way down until the next one.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I was doing 150 mgs. of Depo T shots every week my levels would only get to 600 at the time my labs range was 262 to 1593 so 600 is low. I eat up the T as fast as I take it. So I got me Dr. to let me add in HCG he told me to do 500 IU's 3x's a week for 15 shots. We did my labs and my levels doubled. So I am on Primary one problem was doing this drove up my E2 very fast and I need to take one mg. a day of Arimidex to keep it down. Then I read Dr. Shippen " The Testosterone Syndrome " author was now doing shots every 3 days subQ to keep leveled and to hold down his E2 levels. My Dr. let me try this do for the last year and a half I have been shooting 70mgs of 200mgs./ml of Depo T every 3 days. And doing my HCG 400 IU's the 2 days each in between the T shots. This is great my levels are in the upper 800's from Quest and my E2 is much less a problem I only do .25mgs of Arimidex every 3 days now to keep e2 down. My levels are very steady now.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ok try to start at 100mgs a week and on the 5th and 6th days each after this shot do 250 IU's of HCG this will keep your levels up for the next T shot and keep your testis working. Read about it at Dr. 's site he puts this out there free for us and our Dr.'s. Read TRT: A recipe for seccess and his HCG update. www.allthingsmale.com Co-Moderator Phil > From: matttaylor99 <matttaylor99@...> > Subject: Re: how to lower estrodiol > > Date: Sunday, July 20, 2008, 2:07 PM > starting on T cyp monday, with Hcg too, the gel did not work > for me > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I have > very high > > > estrodiol, > > > > > low testosterone > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > started > on > > > testosterone > > > > > cream, but the arimidex sent me into a > > > > > > > > > > > nasty > depression. > > > > > > > > > > > I was on > 1 mg 2x a > > > week > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > any other > way to > > > lower > > > > > estrodiol other then arimidex? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > update > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I have had a > resurgence > > > of severe > > > > > depression, the AD meds have > > > > > > > > > > pooped out.
