No I sure havent. In fact in recent weeks it has gotten worse. I now am waking at 2:30 wide awake. It doesnt matter what time I go to bed either.

Thank you! You are speaking of the Dr. Marino, or the HCG and upstream? The Dr. Marino post leaves more questions than answers for me. If it were true, TRT would be a short term fix and we would need to cycle off like Steroid users. edit...I just read your reply to the Dr. Marino post ;)

Yesterday I had a good discussion with Melissa over at Defy. We spoke about the many things that need to be in line for ones libido. Including E2, my medications/opiate, a MRI of my lower back, and a Ultrasound of my testicles. She then took this along with my chart to Dr. Saya, then called me...

This makes a lot of sense, as I felt almost euphoric when I began TRT and I was told it was just Placebo. If this is true with the Test desensitizing the dopamine receptors, I would do better on the e3.5d injection than the 3 times per week. I am creating less peaks and valleys by injecting more...

I need to add some information, I am on a opiate as well and this is the cause on my secondary hypogonadism. However now that I am taking testosterone via injections, I wonder if I have been low my entire life. I was late too puberty, never had any real gains when working out. I spent a year...

Fairly certain DHEA played a roll in it yes. HCG doesn't agree with you? When I first began HCG it was amazing, now its just another hole I tear in my skin. Don't believe I've had any unwanted effects from it though.

I was doing fairly good at 70mg e3.5d, and AI three times a week, HCG at 400ui also at e3.5d, no DHEA. The whole point of more frequent injections was to eliminate AI, or hopes of anyway. That hasnt happened though.

Back at home and going back and looking at my labs. On April 26th I did lab work, I felt fine at this point, the labs that were in the OP. After seeing the DHEA at 120 I began to take the DHEA. I took it nightly after dinner and it seemed to help me sleep. From that point I began to slowly...

I think going forward I will do the 48mg 3 times a week as recommended at the follow up. I am experiencing some anxiety again, it came on while heading to the beach about a hour ago. Had to pull over, get wife to drive and everything. I haven't felt that in a long time, and surely didn't miss it...

Its not so much that I feel a lot worse, its that I've felt a whole lot better. And slowly it seems that things are backsliding to the Pre-TRT feelings. Maybe I need to increase instead of decrease the test C like V.C. stated. The whole switching to 3 weekly injections was to eliminate some AI...

Is there a online calculator that gives a T to E ratio? Its seems to be the lower I take my E level, the worse I feel.

So here I am, a good 6-7 months into this TRT and while I tell myself I am good, I am only lying to myself and others. Sure I have lost anxiety, and trust me I am thankful for that, but aside from that I dont see a whole lot of positives. Let me ask some questions, I want to gauge where others...

haha! Dr told me not to hold nothing heavy ;)

Is HCG really that unstable where having it in the refrigerator door will lead to breakdown/loss of potency? There are many posts/articles on both side of the HCG storage. Just wondering what real people have to say, not some blogger looking to attract clicks for the web page.

I dont see DHT testing on any of my labs. Did you request this test, or was it ordered due to symptoms? I personally have gained 10-15 lbs of what I believe to be water retention.
