[QUOTE="JCUSN, post: 62677, member: 14886"] I went to meet with a TRT doc because of the experience my friend had in treating his low T. I was experiencing night sweats and poor sleep (tried melatonin and even ambien), diminished ability to grow muscle (following a strict diet and 6 days per week weight training), and high/low libido fluctuations. I did also feel a bit "cloudy" at times, but not sure this is the low T "fog" I hear people talk about. I got labs, and there are the results. Estradiol was not measured at all. Pre-TRT lab results: SBHG 60.7 Total T 484 Free T 1.34 (calculated via Total T/SBHG/albumin levels) - doc said this was very low Doc prescribed me 100mg Test C, injected IM once per week, and 200 iu of HCG on M/W/F injected subq. I followed this regiment for two weeks. Almost immediately after my first injection, I started to see diminished libido, as well as mediocre erections. After completing the 2nd week's injections, I decided I just wanted to quit injections altogether, and never mess with TRT again. This was a Friday. The following Tuesday (4 days after last injection), my libido came back RAGING and my erections were incredible. I'm talking like 16 year old kid again raging and incredible. However, I attributed this to me stopping my injections...and I did not do anymore injections at all. I went back for labs 15 days after my last injection and had these abysmal results: SBHG 45.7 Total T 225 Free T 3.1 Estradiol 5.58 pg/ml LH 4.23 mIU/ml Needless to say, I was crushed to see how low these numbers were. During my two weeks of downtime, libido went down after one week of the raging, erections became less than incredible, and I also broke out heavily in acne across my shoulders. Most of this occurred in my second week of no injections (7-8 days after last injection). What would have caused this? I've decided to try my TRT regiment again, at the advice of my doc. 100mg Test C, divided into two 50mg shots IM per week. And HCG 200iu M/W/F subq. Am I a total mess? [/QUOTE]
