 Blood Work Results ahhh
OK,
Week 4 of TRT. I switched from 200MG e5d to 100MG e7d after week 3.
Creatinine Serum .65 L (.76-1.27)
Testosterone Serum >1500 H
LH .2 L (1.7 - 8.6)
FSH <0.2 L
Estradiol 45.9 H (7.6 - 42.6)
Not really sure where to go from here... Everyone's help is appreciated. I wasn't taking arimidex due to the joint pain it was causing but it looked like I need to now.
What is creatinine for? What does that mean?
Should I drop my dosage of test again? Discontinue for awhile? Thanks.

Misc it was exactly 4 days. I had switched my dose that Monday to 100MG. I'm freaking out now that they are high... Will Arimidex lower my E2 levels? I'm not on a cycle by any means but I think it may have become this elevated due to my high bf%...
I'm terrified of getting Gyno now.

You are still seeing the elevations from the 200 mgs E5D.
Give it a couple of weeks and split your 100mgs injections into 2 shot separated by 84 hours (Mon 6 am - Thurs 6 pm).
Over the course of about 4 weeks, your levels will slowly decline.
Don't get blood drawn for another 6 weeks.
Do you have a history of gyno? Why the fear?

Creatinine is a measure of kidney function as is BUN levels, and yours is low . Is this normal for you ? Do you have past creatinine test results ? I would compare them . Most guys who weightlift , especially those who ingest large amounts of animal protein have high creatinine . Low levels are often found in vegetarians . ~Bo

My libido went COMPLETELY after I started TRT so I'm hoping if I can get my E2 under control this will come back....
Should I continue to use HCG? (500 Units split up weekly)

HCG is not necessary at first and that might be why your e2 is high. I only do 250 per week.
HCG is great, but there are plenty of people who do not use it during TRT. I prefer it, but I know that it effects my estrogen.

To get your levels down I would wait 3 additional days before pinning again. Or else it will take a good 2 months for your numbers to restabilize.
250iu 2x/week is about right. It also helps with libido.

GP, don't be freaked out about your E2 being in the 40's. I would be shocked if you ever developed gyno at that level. Mine was over 40 last time I took bloods, and a buddy had his in the high 70s before he got dialed with no issues. It is easy after seeing all the numbers thrown around on here to think if you don't hit EXACTLY 1200 TT, 20 E2, etc. that something is going to be wrong, but it just isn't true. Human bodies differ from one another a great deal. You need to target how you feel, not a number. Sorry if I'm sounding preachy, just something to keep in mind

You do 250 E7D? Does it keep you from shrinking completely? I would like to lower my HCG if I could to help keep estrogen down, currently I'm doing 500 iu E7D. Not concerned about fertility, just personal preference dont' want to completely shrink.

I was on 200mg E5D for a while and recently lowered it to 200 mg E7D, split up over 3 shots a week - Mon. Wed. Fri. My 200 E5D shot was due on a Monday and so I waited until Wednesday to take the first lowered dose shot so it was about 66 mg. Did I wait long enough? Was Wednesday the correct day to take the first lower shot or should it have been Thursday or Friday? Can I still take bloods in 6 weeks? I didn't realize it could take months to stabilize if you don't wait the 3 days or else I might have even waited until Friday.

relax a little 
I follow Cashout's method after reading about him being estro senstivie, so am I.
It's helped alot.... and I have to say I feel alot better actually with the split. dont know if its because of smoother levels I just do.
