First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback
Thanks for the feedback. I’m willing to try what the doc laid out for me. He feels the same way about my target E2 number. I don’t use HCG. I would say my natural production has completely shut down. I have been injecting for almost 3 months.- joetown2001

I took another Covid test and it came back positive. I knew it couldn’t be hormonal. Wish me luck that recovery is short. My symptoms are mild besides headaches and my blood pressure going up a little.- joetown2001

Thanks. It may not be a bad idea to try that. My blood pressure has gone down a decent amount today. It averaged 127/79 this morning at about 930, did a good cardio workout and had a sauna at the gym. After that I took a few more readings and it averaged 133/77. Body still not feeling great and...- joetown2001

I had my follow up with Dr. Calkins on Wednesday afternoon. He did a really good job of listening to me and how I was feeling, not just my lab numbers. He did like how my labs looked overall. He actually said they were really good for being just over two months in. I agree with that sentiment as...- joetown2001

First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback
On Thursday around dinner, I decided to take a .125 anastrozole to see if it would relieve any of my fatigue, anxiety, and libido issues. I injected Friday like I normally do, and had a pretty good day. Both Thursday and Friday evening I did have some OK nocturnal erections and morning wood...- joetown2001

Thanks for the in-depth reply. There’s a lot to digest there. A couple things to give a little more context. My PA told me it didn’t matter when I pulled labs as long as I did it before my next injection. I asked him if he wanted me to wait until Monday to be at a 72 hour trough, and he said it...- joetown2001

I don’t cut the pills, that’s what empower compound them at. When I say my libido was good I mean my mental desire to want to have sex, physically there was nothing there. Struggled with ED and maintaining your erection without Cialis. I guess we all kind of define libido differently. My free T...- joetown2001

5 mg daily cialis. Started 6 grams of citrine a day this week. It’s libido as much as arousal. That’s the concerning part. Even before therapy, my libido was strong, arousal and erection quality was up and down.- joetown2001

Well, I can tell you I have no intentions on dropping my dosage down to 50 mg a week. The lowest I would even think about going right now would be 80, and I’m not even sure I’m going to do that. My biggest concern really is the sexual side effects. They are as bad if not a little worse than when...- joetown2001

First off, I want to thank everybody giving feedback on this thread. I appreciate it all of your views, and I agree with a lot of what all of you were saying. I know I’m definitely overmedicated on some level for me, but it might not be for other people. Having all the sexual side effects...- joetown2001

I am not taking any other meds except for 5 mg daily cialis in the mornings and a low dose atorvistatin. I know you are a big advocate of keeping estrogen higher, but it does not treat me well. I do appreciate your feedback and thoughts on what might be causing my issues.- joetown2001

First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback
I’ve been short tempered, been suffering from anxiety and have gotten lightheadedness off and on. I am also showing a lot of sleepiness around dinner time before I eat, especially on the days I inject. My libido has not been very good, and I am suffering from moderate erectile dysfunction and...- joetown2001

First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback
I did take .125 anastrazole a few times when symptoms got really bad. Every time it killed the anxiety and light headed feeling. Sometimes it fired up my libido, other times it did not. I had not taken any for almost two weeks before my labs. I inject sub q, most recently in my fat caps above my...- joetown2001

So I just got back my first follow up labs since starting TRT a little over two months ago. I was pretty pleased for the most part, as a lot of my numbers improved from a non-hormone standpoint. I was happy to see the drop in my hematocrit, and a lot of that has to do is me stopping iron...- joetown2001
