Hey Guys!
So...I've been on T just shy of a year. I get blood work done regularly...almost a ridiculous amount (every 3 shots - eek!). My first few months my levels were really low, so my doc raised my dose. Again, it was still low, so we raised it again. Total of three times it was raised. Then suddenly...according to my bloodwork I had almost triple as much free testosterone (I believe it was free?) as a bio guy should. My doctor freaked out and lowered my dose. Minimal change. Lowered it again....and now, that time of the month is back. I feel like crap. They said I can't go any higher on my dose, but now I am having this issue. I am really not sure what to do. I don't know if it's a matter of needing to find my right dose, or if I should maybe look into getting hysterectomy? I doubt this problem will go away if my dose remains the same, right? Have any of you experienced this? :(

yeah I had a simular problem, My level switched, and I got very low on T and had the horrible bleeding..
My doctor told me to switch to Nebido so now I am trying that out cause I had heard it would be better.

Sorry, I haven't. But I wanted to send some vibes. Sounds like the E is fighting the T, but I am not a doctor.
We can't discuss dosages here, but I'm wondering what your dosage was to start with, and what it is now. You must have started on a really low dose?
