Been awhile, so here is an update.
After receiving the news a month or so ago that my T was off the charts low, my endo (I love saying that...my endo, tee hee) suggested trying to gently awaken my boi bits tith a T supplement. What the heck, thought I...anything for research. So for a week or so, while continuing 4mgs daily of Estradiol, combined with a single cap of licorice and one of white peony but no AA, I tried the small quantity of T.
I hated it.
All the old feelings of assertiveness, competitiveness, irritability etc came roaring back.
Stopped that nonsense.
The last two to three weeks have been the Estradiol, licorice, peony plus PC and for the last week or so, a ramp back up to 3000 mgs of PM.
I saw my endo (tee hee) again yesterday. I admitted I had dropped the T, added PM back, and even that there had been days when I used 5 or even 6 mgs of E.
Was he upset with me?
He wrote me a new scrip for E allowing for up to 8mgs daily of E.
Lol
I think I love my doctor!
Anyway, they took blood again, so Friday I should get results on what has happened to my T and E during the last month. However, I did take fresh pictures yesterday and would have posted them but honestly I could see no further growth. I am starting to wonder if I have reached the end of the game in that department, but time will tell.
Oh, a footnote. I eliminated the PC for the last week. Feels like this stopped everything, or at least the feeling of anything. I plan to resume PC this weekend, if only to forestall the inevitable E dominance I know is coming.
