Hey all. Great forum. I’m new to test / peds.
Aged 53. Recently lost 14 kilo over 5 months with Reta, eating clean and lots of exercise. 175cm went from 102kg to 88kg so I’m still bit overweight. Goal to reduce fat % far more / bulk up a bit / get fitter.
E2 came in wee bit high (289 pmol/L) but I’m impressed where test ended up.
Full bloods before and after 5 weeks of test further below.
Started at 100mg but went up to 140mg in about a week. Daily subq 20mg a day. UGL Oz test c 200mg/ml. Open to higher test cycle with pimo or similar to manage e2. Really just done TRT+ so far to find feet.
No real e2 sides except bit of water retention and maybe bit ratty at times / bit bitchy now and again
No spicy nips at all.
Overall feel way better and much easier doing resistance training.
Wondering if I monitor and see if body adjusts it over time or I lower dose a bit or I chuck in some primo.
Have AI but want to avoid if possible.
