Thanks mate, much appreciated! I’ll be sure to check out the calculator.

Thanks Dragonbits, I’ve taken yours and others advice and have contacted a centre about freezing sperm today, so I’ll keep you posted over the next few weeks. All the best, Bill

Perfect, thanks a lot Gman! I’ll keep you posted on the results. Contacted a fertility centre about freezing sperm earlier as a first step. In the meantime, I’ll be sure to watch/ read as much as I can. All the best, Bill

Thanks mate. That really helps put my mind at rest, I’ll speak it through with the misses and look into freezing my sperm, for peace of mind, if nothing else. are there any podcasts you recommend that I can listen to on all things TRT? I recently bought jay Campbell’s TRT book, but find it...

Firstly, congrats on the little one! Interesting to hear that you had no success with hcg and an AI. I was hoping that could work as another user suggested above, seemed like a good option for me but seeing as our issue is fairly similar, yours is the closest scenario I’ve found so hopefully I...

Thanks mate. How accurate is the free estrogen calculated? My free test was calculated too, I’m guessing it can’t be tested, only calculated? That’s interesting what you say, as although my total t looks good, this could be a falsely reassuring number, as were my SHBG not so high then I suspect...

Thanks for the response mate. They don’t offer the sensitive test in the uk, so this is the best I can get. What concerned me was that I’m c20% over the highest reference point, on both tests. Have you got a conversion tool to get to the pg/ml values? I had a look online before but was unsure...

And how do you feel now? What was your protocol? I’m not adverse to starting TRT, but only if it is necessary and I am able to preserve fertility. I’m 30 years old so similar age group and I’m getting a lot of mixed feedback about jumping on with my numbers at such a young age. Did you try...

Great info - thanks. Yes, I’m in London although had to go to the other side of the country for the doctor I saw as none round here other than Harley street who are notorious for ripping people off! I have had thyroid hormones checked, as well as vitamin b, iron and cortisol (some others too)...

Thanks, that sounds like a solid option. One thing I have read however is that hcg causes more e2 to be produced in the testicles, which an AI would be useless at combating. I suppose at the very least it would stop atomatasiation which would result in a lesser increase, at least. I was as...

Will do. I’d love to know why. Doctor didn’t seem concerned and the only reason he suggested was because my SHBG is high and that’s forcing more test production and subsequent aromatisation. I’m going to try boron in the short term as well as reducing my fats down within macros to see if that...

Interesting, is there any theory behind why it wouldn’t work without TRT? I did have a look on reddit as well, which is the usual forum I use, and there was nothing on there either so perhaps it’s just not a viable option for a natural. I did find a couple of studies supporting its use though...

Thanks mate. The doctor is reluctant to prescribe me an AI, so thinking of going it alone, so 0.025mg a week is what you’re taking? And why mix with vodka? Any dangers of trying an AI at a small dose and then coming off, as far as you’re aware? Cheers

Has anyone tried, or can advise on AI monotherapy. My test levels are good but my free test is low, SHBG and est are high (bloods below). I was prescribed 125mg enanthate weekly and HCG 500iu 3 times a week yesterday, however I am extremely concerned about fertility and have decided to think...

Thanks for the reply, Vince. I have read a couple of books and hung around other forums (just not this one), I consider myself fairly well informed on the topic but by no means an expert. Unfortunately the link in your post “could not be found”? I’m not adverse to giving TRT a miss, however I...
