Hi All
I am attempting a HPTA restart and have been on HCG 250iu EOD for around 9 weeks now (too long I know). Not feeling the greatest and have had quite bad anxiety. I tested myself last week and here are my results:
E2 - 132H pmol/l ( < 130)
Testosterone - 22.2 nmol/l (8.0 - 38.0)
SHGB - 32 nmol/l (15 - 100)
Free Testosterone - 443 pmol/l (250 - 720)
The high E2 explains the anxiety. I haven’t been taking an AI while on the HCG.
I have finally sourced some nolvadex and have a couple questions to begin phase 2 of the restart protocol.
- Should I tapper off the HCG
- Should I wait until my E2 drops before starting Nolvadex
- Will Nolvadex also boost my E2 levels? Should I take an AI while on it
Appreciate any advice.
