Ok guys went to a HRT doc finally instead of the guessing game.He said my test levels were half what they should be prescribed me 200mg a week of cyp.Also said my estrogen was high in my fat cells prescribed me half a tab of arimidex per week.Cortisol was high gave me meds for that.Now three weeks in i am putting anywhere from a .5 to 1 pound a day on, muscles are looking great but still not shedding fat.My ? is if my estro was already high then the test is gonna raise it even more correct soooo some of this weight gain is probably from estrogen ,i have some other arimedex on hand should i take more than prescribed for a week or two or what do you guys think?I am gonna call him tomm also to get his input just curious to hear your input.I am doing enough cardio everday that it says i am burning 900 calories in my cardio.I am eating clean but still not leaning at all let me know what you guys thinking.Or could it be my test levels will just take alittle time to catch up being so low?

Ms.W it hasprobably been 1yr or more since my last cycle.Did some prohormones though within that year which is were i think i fucked up!But my last AAS cycle was 600mg test e and 400 deca.I have put on probably 20 pounds in the lastyear alot of it not being good weight and been tired alot which is why i decided to try the DOC also hard to admit but mood swing and getting teared up whatching movies made me say WTF.Anyway i told Doc all previous cycle etc and he said prohormones are proably worse on the body than AAS becouse you really don't know for sure what is in them.

Not sure how bad your cortisol levels are but imo
30mg of pregnenlone a day when jus starting hrt sounds a bit premature to me.

And not saying you don't need the Pregnenolone as you evedently have an unusual cortisol imbalance for him to prescribe this.

I'd give it a bit yet, he may need to adjust the dose of the AI, they about always start on the low side.
