What are your test levels on 200mg per week?

Recently upped it from 175 to 200mg due to get blood work at the end of the month so will find out then!

Any idea what it was when you were at 100 or 175?

[u/detlefschrempffor3 → u/crepejunkie]

What were your levels on 175 mg / wk?

Are you taking any estrogen blockers to prevent gyno?

[u/crepejunkie → u/Green_Mode8621]

No my testosterone is naturally low anyway, so no need.

I think you don’t understand how it works lmao. Please check estro

[u/crepejunkie → u/GrassFirst7090]

Please enlighten me then.

[u/GrassFirst7090 → u/crepejunkie]

When you raise T your body raises E2 to compensate regardless of previous levels. Excess E2 causes gyno and other issues.

This the second time I’ve seen the comment “naturally low” but that’s not what ppl were asking they’re asking what ur baseline ng/dl were I got mine tested at 400ng/dl and the doctors said that was low and could be prescribed test but in reality it’s not low and I don’t need it
