cycle information:
Currently on 500mg of test e started on Feb 6. (250mg Tue AM + 250 mg Fri PM)
Started 2 IU of HGH on Feb 18 (1 IU AM fasted + 1 IU Pre bed).
Been taking 10 mg of Nolvadex per day since starting, because prior history of gyno, did gyno surgery, small residual gland remains. sometimes I get paranoid due to gyno, always thinks there is gyno, but my girl says no gyno.
Feel great overall, libido strong, no clear high-E2 sides. Sleep improved a lot after adding in hgh.
Gyno check: no areola tenderness, no lump (I think)
I am also using an trt/gear clinic for their advice during my cycle.

Blood Work (pre-cycle Jan 7, fasted AM):
Total Test: 453ng/dL
Free test: 23.79 pg/ml
SHBG: 25.74 nmol/L
Estradiol(E2): 34 pg/mL

Blood Work (mid cycle 4 weeks in, fasted AM):
Total Test: 1015ng/dL
Free test: 126.02 pg/ml
SHBG: 23.23 nmol/L
Estradiol(E2): 59pg/ml
IGF-1: 312.16 µg/L (no pre-hgh baseline IGF-1)
HbA1c: 5.07%

Personally I am feeling great and my libido is very good. I don't see any high estrogen side effects as well. This is why i am planning to do some changes below per doctor plan. The doctor said that my E2 level is too high. However I would like to listen to others advices too. I started these changes on March 16.
I plan to get another bloodwork in 5 weeks ( 2 days after TE injection).

Testosterone Enanthate (TE):
- No dosage adjustment at this time. Will reassess after the next blood work.

Nolvadex:
- 10 mg three times per week (Mon/Wed/Fri) for 2 weeks
- Then 10 mg twice per week (on the same days as TE injections) for 2 weeks
- Then stop for 1 week before the next blood test

Aromasin:
- 25 mg tablet, ¼ tablet twice per week (on the same days as TE injections) started mar 17

Questions:

  1. Gyno prevention: With prior gyno surgery + residual gland, and now adding low-dose Aromasin, should i stay on 10mg Nolva daily or follow the taper plan? What would you do and why?

  2. Underdosed test E? TT at trough-ish is ~1015ng/dl on 500 mg/week split dosing. Does this seem low or within expectations given lab timing? Any suggestions on how to verify?

  3. Any suggestions in improving SHBG levels?

  4. Any thoughts on the MCV 106.8 and Cre levels?
