Hi there!
I started TRT with NEBIDO in July 2016. I live in Norway, and Nebido seems to be the preferred method here. There has been many challenges for me the last 6-7 months with fine-tuning my protocol, I hope things will be better for me in the coming months.
Let me give you some a brief background here. I am 41 years old. I think I always had low testosterone, and my bloodwork before starting Nebido, showed I was in the lower “normal” ranges.
Anyway, I started with Nebido injections every 8 weeks, as suggested by the doctor. The first months were ok (but not great), and then I started feelings symptoms of high estradiol – puffy nipples. And I felt like shit too – I might add! I then took new bloodwork in early December to confirm this (results attached). Anyway, I then started treating this problem with nolvadex and arimidex, and the “gyno” symptoms are now gone.
I do feel much better after starting a very low dose of arimidex (0,25 mg twice a week). I will do new bloodwork late February/early March to measure the effects or adjust as necessary.
So, I could elaborate with much more detail here, but I hope this gives you necessary background to comment on my questions:
1. I have started splitting my NEBIDO injections into 1 weekly injections instead (0,5 ml/125mg test undecanoate). This should be ok?
2. I do feel much better now, but my libido/sex drive is not as good/high as I had hoped. What could be the reason for this?
3. I read Jay Cambell's book recenctly (The Definitive Testosterone Replacement Therapy MANual), and he recommends using Stinging nettle root. I ordered some bottles of this already, but I also did a bit more reading about this herbal supplement. For some it gives no effect, for others it helps boost libido and others claim it can cause elevated estradiol as well. I am clearly not interested in the latter.
Anyway, I realize you will need updated bloodwork here – and I will try to update this thread with new information and new results of bloodwork later this month or early march.
Thanks for reading and thanks for a great forum!
