restart

Hopefully this is the right place for this, I recently finished a restart protocol from Defy (HCG 300iu x 14 days then clomid 12.5 x 4 weeks) and being my first restart I wanted to know if what I was experiencing was normal. My test protocol was(250mg test/smaller doses daily/week + 300iu HCG +...

Hi, I am a young guy (only 27 years old) who was on TRT for 3 years. I’ve came a cross a post some time ago about some other dude with similar problem who said that before he’s gonna injects himself for another 50+ years, he’s gonna make sure that there’s no way he feels good being natural. I...

I was on trt for a little more than 2 years. Morning t readings were high 300s low 400s. I could not seem to get dialed in with cream or injection. My main complaint was inconsistent libido erections etc. I have been off for a little more than a month. I took clomid 25mg daily for the first 20...

Hello all: Started TRT in December 2019 and stopped on June 5, 2020 to try a cold turkey restart. My last set of labs just before starting in December 2019 and my labs from August 7, 2020, are attached. Overall, I haven't felt awful since stopping, although not like I want to climb a...

I've been on HCG from June 15, for an attempt to restart my own testosterone production. My trt doctor prescribed a huge amount of 5000iu 2x week. I did that first, and then spared it out to 2500iu EOD after few weeks, because of the huge 5000iu dose at once seemed to give me elevated heart rate...

TL;DR: Over a period of seven weeks, treatment with GnRH and enclomiphene raised LH and FSH from around 0.1 mIU/mL to about 1.0 mIU/mL, even though TRT and hCG dosing were continued. Subjective results have been encouraging. I had written previously on the subject of GnRH suppression on TRT...

Follow up on my discontinuation of TRT. To keep it short - when I was 24, my total T tested at 159 (264-916) on an afternoon blood test (wasn’t knowledgeable on T at the time and the importance of a morning test). I was Put on Test cyp/hcg for 4 years or so with a brief intermission on clomid...

Hey guys, I've been doing research on here for a while and want to say I'm grateful that this community exists! I have done a ton of research so I'll try to get right to my question that I can't seem to find an answer on. Brief back story: I'm 35 years old with TT readings around 400-450 and...

Been on TRT for about 2.5 years. 34 year old male. I have 2 kids and want to keep the party going with a 3rd, possibly even 4th. Hopefully some information that comes out of this can help someone else. Of course, I am hoping it will help me too. I've spent about 4 weeks reading info here and I...

I am attempting a restart after a long and thoughtful discussion with my doc. I was advised to take pregnenolone and DHEA during the restart but I was under the impression that this would be suppressive to my HPTA? I always assumed supplementing those two were fine if on TRT, but suppressive if...

I'm 55 years old and have been on TRT for 4+ years and struggling to get dialed in all this time. I am almost ready to throw in the towel but have been trying a few final approaches before giving up. One thing I'm doing which seems to be working so far is to stop HCG all together. I am...

I was on TRT for about 18 months. Decided to stop and attempt a restart using toremifene. The restart was a success! I haven’t had any injection or any SERM since October 2018. My current labs are: Total T: 694 E2: 12.8 I’m concerned that my E2 is too low. Is it actually too low? Is this...

Why is clomid used instead of nolvadex in a restart monotherapy protocol? From what I understand nolvadex should have similar results to clomid but with less side effects. Can you use nolvadex as a monotherapy? What am I missing?

Doc is taking me off Clomid to see how well I do without any hrt. Here are my lab results on 12.5 mg clomid EOD for 2 months and nothing else except a multivitamin, vit D, etc. Total T: 726 (264-916) Free T: 11 (9.3-26.5) - **low** E2 sensitive: 14.7 (8-35) - **low** SHGB: 89.3 (16.5-55.9) -...

Hey all, So as the title says I stopped TRT and now am on a restart protocol. I was on TRT since June of this year but came to the conclusion that it’s not for me, atleast not right now. I stopped because although I was feeling better than pre TRT , I just don’t think I was benefiting enough...

Hello, I am considering going off TRT due to prostate cancer risks. (My father is currently dying from it, and it runs in my family. His own father died from it, too.) I am 48 years old, and began TRT at 43. Never abused steroids. I have been happy on a standard, doctor supervised TRT...

Long story short, I never really got "dialed-in" on TRT. My dosage fluctuated, but I never felt "great." My ending dose was 100mg test cyp (2 shots IM weekly of 50mg) and 600iu HCG (3 shots SQ weekly of 200iu), with no AI. This kept my total T at around 800 measured in my trough, and E2 at about...

I will update as more labs or significant changes occur. I switched to Defy Medical on January 11th for two reasons: 1) my doctor required in-office shots, which prevented dosages every 3.5 days; 2) he would not entertain the idea of multiple shots to prevent my 48-72hr spike that led to my...

I started taking 25 mg of Clomid EOD about 7 weeks ago and now have some follow up bloodwork if you're interested. Pre Clomid #1: http://imgur.com/ht6Lj2M Pre Clomid #2: http://imgur.com/a/jxcnZ Clomid week 7: http://imgur.com/a/wru0t Testosterone went from 291 to 544 [348 - 1197]. LH went...

Hi Just got back from my appointment with one of my endo's and I have a question related to what was said during our meeting. My last MRI shows that my pituitary gland tumor hasn't been growing the last year and all the bloodwork that has been done the last two years shows that only my T has...

I am secondary hypogonadal, and I currently take HCG monotherapy. Together with eating "paleo" and avoiding other foods I'm sensitive to, and focusing on better sleep, etc., I'm feeling more energetic, upbeat and focused. However, I'm still mildly depressed with very little libido, and I don't...
