question from a user
I know someone who is on 200 mg a week. Went from 290 to 1000 at trough, but they don't feel any different. Test is from a clinic in USA. Thoughts?

It sounds like they may either be on too much for what they need & much is aromatizing to Estrogen, or they preemptively gave them an AI that was too high to counter the expected Estrogen you'd get from the dose & it's bottoming out their Estrogen. There is also the possibility that if they are taking Clomid or Enclomiphene with it, that their IGF-1 could be suppressed. That would be our first thoughts.
