re: Need Info on TRT

I need to go get some bloodwork done since I am about to turn 30. What should I ask for from my doctor as far as bloodwork? I have heard from some that sometime, depending on age; doctors aren't inclined to request test levels...?

Also, on the Boron should this be taken morning or night?

dont worry about increase in estrogen in blood work, worry about how you feel

I have a question on this. Totally understand the "how you feel" approach. However, I wasn't feeling much of a change even though my test levels (total and free) had increased sufficiently. My estrogen levels were more than double what the clinic said should be the high end of average. I wasn't necessarily having negative side affects, but wasn't seeing anything majorly positive after going from below normal range to the highest levels of normal. Taking a blocker and now feel more energy in the gym and at jiu jitsu. But that's also because I really started working out more since starting TRT and maybe my fitness is just catching up. Hard to say if the estrogen blocker is helping that.

I will say that the possible physical side affects of high estrogen scared me. I know they may not happen for a majority of people, but I don't want to deal with gynecomastia and not know until it already starts.

This alone will increase your level of testosterone. No need for anything else.
