Appreciate all the support, guys. Things are slowly starting to get better as my hormone levels balance out. At least I'm trending in the right direction. Let's how it goes
It seems that I may have crashed my estrogen with the Arimidex.

They are way too many factors. 1. Why did you physician start you off on the high end? 2. Are you sure your E2 was checked and NOT our estrogen? What were your baseline numbers? Not just total test, but free? 3. Do you plan on having more kids? If not, drop the HCG. Please post your numbers. Good luck brother
How many days out were you when you were tested? Are you pinning once a week or twice a week? Regarding HCG, in my opinion if you don't plan on having kids there is no need for it. I've been on TRT for almost 10 years with no HCG or dex/stane. I'm anal when it comes to bloodwork, so I pretty much know where I'm at. I only pin 50mg every 3.5 days and my levels range between 700-1000. Hang in there buddy. You'll get dialed in soon.I went to Entourage Hormones. I don't plan on having kids but isn't it good to keep the boys going even on TRT? Anyway, here are my before lab results then 8 weeks later:
Before:
LH: 3.4
FSH: 3.6
T Total: 243
T Free: 9.4
After 8 weeks:
LH: 0.1
FSH: 0.6
T Total: 920
T Free: 34.7
Hgb: 16.5
Hct: 48.9
ESTRADIOL, SENSITIVE: 10.8

Sounds like you have a serious case of Human nature lol, sorry, not trying to make light of it, just being stupid, cause I use to say that to my wife all the time or use to when she would get anxious before we knew how bad it was, or rather before i knew how bad it was as she always said it was terrifying. My wifes anxiety is like nothing i have ever seen before, nor heard about people being this bad until talking to doctors and therapists etc.. SHE is notorious for making mountains outta mole hills, but she is bipolar and when i tell you its bad, i honestly can not describe it with words. Manic over the dumbest shit, talks a mile a minute like shes all coked up, or she doesnt say shit at all. So i get it and i hope you figure it out, they had my wife on all kinds of shit until they found what works best for her, so hopefully you get it figured out.
I know it can take years to finally diagnose an ongoing issue. Hows your memory? Short term specifically? I ask because thats finally when my wife got serious about doctors. She would ask me to come home early from work, and take her and kids to go out to eat, and i would get home 30 minutes later and she would be in her pajamas and didnt remember asking me to come home and go out and it got to the point where i wouldnt even say shit, i would just act like i just got done work and not bring it up otherwise world war 3. Anyhow, thats why asked about memory. I know "bipolar' sounds bat shit crazy, and it can be, lmao, until your on the right meds. Then its daily life business as usual, with a few manic spots here and there lol.
I do hope you get to the bottom of it brutha man! And Not suggesting your bipolar! Just pointing out my wife shared similar issues and she is in fact bipolar. Thast all

I pin 200mg cyp once a week. I got my bloodwork before I injected so it was a week since my last dose. Maybe I should consider dropping the HCG. My nuts are just so small normally, I don't want them to shrivel up completely, ha ha.
Other hormone changes occur as we age..Ha ha, you guys are the best. I try to talk to my close friends and they could not be less interested. I don't how many other guys experience this while on TRT but I have more acne now at 200mg cyp/week then I ever did when I cycled as a younger guy; and I had used up to 800mg test/week.

Ok guys here is the update with my last round of blood work. I have been feeling pretty good and the acne has subsided. The doctor said everything is looking great but I still feel that Estradiol results are a bit high. I was considering splitting my dose and injecting twice a week but doctor says that I shouldn't change anything. What do you think?
