I take 50 ug of ethinyl estradiol per day.

1) With estrogen, I have the same energy level as I had when I was on (my own natural) testosterone. However, when I was taking cyproterone acetate at the same time as estrogen (before I had my orchi) I felt tired all the time. I had to sleep in the ...

If you google "testosterone" and "Basal Metabolic Rate", you will find that hypogonadism lowers BMR by several ...
