TRT update (9 months in)

[timtimlucier]

Alright guys I thought I’d provide an update on my TRT journey. It’s been 9 months and after a couple sets of blood work and tinkering I’ve found what makes me feel the best while reaching the numbers I was searching for from an anti-aging/life extension perspective. I’ve been donating blood every 2 months, and I’m currently injecting 100mg of cyp on Mondays and Thursdays for a total of 200mg per week. After reading a post on this site I’m going to add some DIM daily to my protocol to free up some test and I’ll make changes if necessary following my next blood panel. I’ve attached the pertinent blood markers. I started supplementing a higher dose of flush niacin in the last few months and my cholesterol actually went down from pre TRT which is a good sign so no issues there. I’ll attach an updated picture as well. Thanks for all the ideas and support. I’m 43 years old, 5’7 and 160 lbs. No idea of BF% but it’s fairly low as the picture will show. If anything sticks out feel free to let me know.

Hemoglobin - 152 g/L
A1C - 4.8%
Total testosterone - 35.4 nmol/L (1018 ng/dL)
(Goal is 1000-1300 but closer to 1000)
Free testosterone - 1264 pmol/L
PSA - 0.65 ug/L
LH - <0.2 IU/L
FSH - <0.2IU/L
TSH - 0.94 mIU/L
Estradiol - 86 pmol/L
Prolactin - 7.2 ug/L
DHEA - 18.5 umol/L

[timtimlucier]

I honestly didn’t really have any questions so I didn’t post for a while. I did a shit ton of research before starting and you guys gave even more insight. I’ll definitely check in more often now lol. As I said earlier I really appreciate all the prompt replies and advice.

 

[Poppy]

You just crack me up!

 

[John]

You don’t need questions…you never know what you might say,or ask that can help anyone on here,old or new.glad things are goin well.

 

[timtimlucier]

Very good point brother. Never thought about it that way. I’ll gladly speak up now.

 

[NeuroRN]

I second what John says. I would say I know my fair share… but I’m always learning new stuff just from the casual convos on here.

 

[John]

I’m pretty sure you know your fair share

 

[NeuroRN]

And always learning more.

 

[Poppy]

You might not have a question but you might have an answer for someone. The fact that you’ve accomplished your goals on straight trt is very interesting and you could share your knowledge with others.

Just reread this. You have excellent numbers on this dose. No sides. I’m thinking you broke the code brother.
