HELP: Estrogens problem?

Quoted message said:

Luckily, I have seen an andrologist that after some experimentation
suggested that for young people T should be above the median norm, as
the norm is built for 18+. He joked I'm right in the norm of 70 years
old. I started taking T and this is not easy to stabilize but lately
it's always in the upper half of the norm. I take about 200mg/week in a
long acting depot form.

The only problem is that my weight gets up (fine), nothing to see yet
(wait, I know) but my belly got even larger. I suspected Estradiol was
too high - water retention, and got equipped with tamoxifen, Arimidex
and Proviron - all from the pharmacy, clean and cheap.

What does "got equipped" mean?

I first tried Tamoxifen 20mg for several days, lost some weight and
felt terrible, it made lots of side effects and this substance simply
doesn't seem safe. I have tried Proviron 50mg for the last week, my sex
drive became like my friends at 16 but no weight loss. Checked plasma
Estradiol levels and they were 3 times the usual BUT right in the
middle of the norm for men. My Doc was shocked by the astonishing
cholesterol profile. She suggested I have statins in the tap water...

Whatsoever, I don't really know what to do now. Make more abs training
like a manic? Wait? Change the Proviron dose? Switch to Arimidex? I
fear the side effects.

Is your goal to lose stomach fat? Look at your DIET. If your goal is
to manage your hormone profile then go back to the Andrologist.

Your stomach isn't fat because of your hormones, by the way. It may
influence where you store fat (the stomach is male pattern, not female,
BTW) but the reason you're storing fat is because you're eating more
calories than you are burning. You can address this by increasing your
metabolism via exercise, and/or you can address this by reducing the
number of calories you eat. Most of us find that it's easier to skip
300 calories than to burn off 300 calories. A combination of skipping
300 calories PLUS burning off 300 calories works even better.

I've heard that high intensity interval training is particularly good at
addressing visceral fat. Can't hurt, in any case.

You've been reading this group for many years AND are eagerly waiting
our advice? Something doesn't parse.

That means I went to the pharmacy and bought it, paid whatever way and
put it in the closet 'just in case'.

Well, your tongue is sharp (-; Actually both. The knowledge accumulated
here seems to far surpass my andrologist. He knows about libido and
testosterone, yohimbine viagra and the like. There it ends. He would
prescribe me what I want as long as it is even marginally logical.
Well, maybe we can open misc.fitness.sex here.

I'You diet advice sounds good and I had good experience losing weight
by both ways (cutting off and burning). I lost many pounds and still in
my lowest weight I had this huge gut - smaller but in proportion to the
rest. In fact the thinner I get the more funny it looks.

Yeah, I was a silent reader but didn't have much to contribute. I well
hope to have in the future. Maybe libido and acne issues will do,
though these are not THAT frequently posted. It's my first time posting
so I'm eager to hear. Yeh.

Thanks a lot Dally!
