[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 62679, member: 2624"] When you joined EM - last month - it was pointed out that you'd had an inadequate initial workup, had been prescribed an out-of-the-box, cookie-cutter protocol, and were not being properly monitored. You wanted to quit TRT after two weeks. It was suggested, strongly, that TRT had not failed, your doctor had failed. It was suggested, even more strongly, that you needed to find better medical care (an idea you seemed very open to). Instead, you seem to have ceased injecting for a period of time, your levels fell, as one would expect - though your axis is not yet shut fully down, and you feel miserable. I'm not exactly sure what more we can offer in the way of suggestions. It does seem that your new protocol, 50mg every 3.5 days is an improvement, it's a sound initial starting point. But the key to success is stability, patience, adequate testing, and a capable doctor. Six weeks have to pass, with no changes, before you can begin to know what is going on. Are the proper tests being run? For instance, is your estradiol level, an astonishingly low value, a sensitive test result? And what about your doctor - is he your knowledgeable partner? [/QUOTE]
