Have been lurking for a month or two - curious about TRT

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

You said you have no sides from low T other than ED at 28 yrs old…

1. Maybe try Cialis or Viagra 1st.
2. Then add hCG or Clomid monotherapy.
3. Then play the TRT card.

• There is a lot of valuable intel you can gain with this approach.
• Once a week injections are no good…two a week minimum to keep levels balanced.
• Always play the lowest card 1st.
• When in doubt do nothing, the answer will eventually become self evident.

Ditto

There is no low or high…it’s completely dependent on you as a unique human being.

Pops is 100, feel like shit under 210, someone else maybe be 350.
Focus on the Free Test, that is the important number.
Chart how you feel as your protocol changes.

I actually don’t feel good on anything too “high”. As you stated it’s all individual. I usually pin 150-250 a week with 250 being the absolute highest… I reach the point of diminishing returns after that. I usually stay below 200 most of the year and will bump it up to 250 for a short period.

I made a jump to something like ~500 a week a year or so ago… it didn’t take long to feel bloated and not so good.

A caveat… i do function just fine at 100 a week. Probably getting ready to back down to that for the winter.

I wonder if they have the option to do just HCG there. Would that be a temporary thing or something that would be continuous?

Talk to your doctor…

people take it for extended periods of time for fertility. I take it to keep the boys “online” at 1000iu a week split into two shots. There are sponsor here to look at for this if the doctor can’t get it due to a shortage.

I have been prescribed Clomid as well and used that with success at 100mg per week with raised my Free T levels significantly. I no longer take it now preferring hCG.

And here is some more updated labs… Testosterone came back at 256 this time and my estrogen at a whopping 5.

 

[Poppy]

Wow that’s pretty low

That is likely the cause of your libido issue.

You need to confirm that number and make sure you got the “Sensitive” version of that Test.

I would guess the doc will want to get you on Test to get your estro levels up as well as your Free and Total Test levels.
