    It's ok. Nothing insane. It seems to ebb and flow, but it's a real busy time for my wife and I. So, it's hard to say. Also, I think it's time to adjust my protocol to a higher dose now that I'm completely shut down, and the beginning honeymoon period is over.

    I'm back to update again. I've been doing daily subq shots in the belly since I created this thread. I got my lab work back. My testosterone has essentially stayed the same at 728 total and 18 free. However, my e2 is now at 26 down from a high of 86. No AI use other than a few doses when...

    The people on the ******** groups won't accept that 86 is too high for me. They tell me it just has to be something else.

    I'd like to update my situation for anyone reading this in the future. After getting my lab results with high E, my doc said to switch to subQ 3x a week. I went straight to subQ every day. I also got impatient and took .5mg anastrozole, then .25 two days later and .25 two days after that. By...

    Do you know what your levels were before TRT?

    I guess we might have different ideas of dad bod. My bmi is around 26. You can see veins in my biceps and chest. Not fat by any means.

    It has definitely helped. I'm a monster in the gym now. I'm not a bodybuilder, but not overweight. I've got your typical 40 yr old dad bod that's been in the gym for 20 years. My doctor is switching me to EOD subQ as of today. Would dropping to 80mg/wk and adding HCG be something to consider?

    Thanks for the reply. Do you regularly use an AI now?

    Zero motivation, felt glued to the floor after work. Couldn't work out hard anymore. Was losing muscle and gaining fat around my waist. SHBG went from 32 to now being 29.

    Poor erection quality

    I started TRT about 8 weeks ago. 100mg/week split every 3 days. Before TRT my numbers were: Total T: 170 Free T: 5.7 E2: 19 My libido was actually fairly high at this point. I'd have sex every day if my wife was willing and able. Erection quality was ok, especially in the morning. At...

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
