Thanks for the reply. Lifted my mood and gives me some hope. When would be a fair point to make a first judgement/evaluation? At the end of the year?

Hey guys, close to 4 weeks in. Here are the positives: Sleep quality improved and I do feel less tired throughout the day. The negatives: haven't felt any difference in the sexual department. No change at all there. I know it is early but I was hoping for at least something positive here which...

Yeah you are right. I started today again and will keep at it with twice weekly injections of 60mg testosterone enanthate along with 250IU HCG and give an update in 2months. Is 2month long enough time to decide on TRT's effectiveness?

I think it was the estradiol sensitive test but I'm not 100% sure. My SHBG is usually around 40-50 on a range of 22-90 but I didn't take the SHBG this time around. Is there any timeline as to when endogenous production (if you don't take HCG) starts to decline? And how long does TRT "usually"...

And also, do you guys think I should lower my dose? 1258 is a little high longterm, right? Or did I still have natural production going on so the labs are a mix of natural testosterone along with the added exogenous T?

Hey guys I took the dive and started TRT 18 days ago. Basically shortly after going in for thyroid labs. I took one 60mg Testosterone shot along with 300IU HCG on Monday and then the same on thursday. Took labs on friday and got the following results: Total testosterone 1258 (250-830) Free...

But does topical Rogaine do that in such a dramatic way that it would have any significant impact systemically? As an oral drug most anti-hypertensives do cause erectile problems, but as a topical? BTW , I went off of Rogaine for 3 months during the winter and didn't really notice any change in...

Sorry guys, been busy.Thyroid labs came back as follows: TSH 0,91 (0,2 -3,1 µU/ml) FT 4: 1,21 (0,8 -1,8ng/l) FT 3: 5,4 (3,5-8,0 ng/l) TPO-AK and TRAK antibodies negative. RT3 I could not get my doctor to take. Quick side question: Does anybody have any experience here with the ESWT...

Also keep the following in mind. My solid total testosterone levels are somewhat deceiving IMO. My free testosterone levels have revealed rather lowish levels throughout the past 3 years. I took two tests at one laboratory where the free testosterone range went from 10-41 and both my results...

Thanks for the reply guys, very much appreciated.I contacted my doctor and persuaded him to take thyroid labs. I will get results likely tomorrow and will post. He did tell me on the phone however that he looked at previous labs and there "wasn't the slightest indication of anything being...

Hey guys, it's me again. Well what can I say? Over the past months I have tried several supplements like Tongkat Ali and Arginine in high dosages in order to improve my problems. I'm even trying daily 5mg cialis for 2 months now. While all these things have improved symptoms somewhat, things are...

Are you guys sure about the HPTA? From what I have gathered over the internet, the risk is pretty minimal, especially if you are over 30. I gathered a lot of information and also watched some youtube channel, one by a doctor in LA who stated that the risk is pretty low. I mean I really really...

I may give TRT a try anyways. I really have no true idea what else to do at this point. I have informed myself and the way I understand it is that there really isn't much to lose with a 3 month trial of Testosterone 100-150mg per week along with 2x 500iu HCG...... BTW I did try AI already...

Hey guys, it's me again. Latest bloods revealed these results: Testosterone 5.43 (1.65- 7.53) Prolactin 8.5 (2.1 - 17.7) Free testosterone 12.18 (3.84- 34.17) last bloods had my free testosterone at 16 (3.84-34.17) , total testosterone 550. So essentially, my total testosterone levels always...

Will be taking bloods again on monday and keep you guys posted. Would TRT make sense if TT and Free T both come back around midrange? Like TT 550 and FT 16 (3-34) ??? I am definitely not against TRT, but would TRT be beneficial for someone with midrange TT and FT?
