question from a user
Hi, I’m on TRT (30mg/day subc -210/week) and HCG (200 iu 3x/week). I feel great at this dose most of the time but sometimes I get very hormonal, especially right before and after traveling/trips. I’m consistent with my administration—is there any explanation for this other than my dose is simply too high?
AlphaMD's Answer
From a TRT/medication standpoint, probably not. What you describe would be having extra Estrogen at those times, which you could control with an AI or dose adjustment. However, outside of TRT, there are things that can raise your Estrogen. Do you drink around those times? Does traveling stress you out? You could be so close to being on the cusp of having too much Estrogen that small things like that could push you over. I'd get your Estrogen checked out.
