Gentleman, for your thoughts and consideration...
Former protocol (Round 1):
T-cyp 150mg/weekly (IM inj in thigh - 23G 1"), no HCG, no AI
First of all, I knew nothing about TRT when I first started back in May 2015. I had moved my T levels increase marginally from mid-200's to 433 by September 2015. I was frustrated, feeling lousy, and I quit.
After stopping TRT cold turkey in September, and after 4 months of reading and research (and feeling pretty shitty along the way), I have decided to go back to either 2x/week or e3d injections, along with some low doses of HCG to keep my boys in check. I have come to this conclusion as I believe that my issues were primarily due to a low SHBG (20 nmol/L), and no HCG protocol.
New protocol:
Option #1 - T-cyp 50mg/e3d, 167IU HCGe3d, no AI
Option #2 - T-cyp 75mg/2xweek, 250 HCG 2xweek, no AI
Some side notes:
- I would really like to move to subq injections under the new protocol.
- I am also strongly considering Nelson's method and believe that either of the above options would work. I am leaning towards option #1 at this point.
- I am trying to avoid an AI until needed. My next round of BW is in 6 weeks. My last BW came back with estradiol: 90 pmol/L or 25pg/ml
Any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
