Forgot to mention: I'm highly suspicious of HCG as a cause of the anxiety/rapid heart rate feeling I've had during my time on TRT. When I first started, they had me injecting HCG the day BEFORE Test and I would always notice especially high anxiety/rapid heart rate that day. Also, when they...

So I've posted a few times around here. Started TRT last September, so right around 10 months as of now. It has been a journey, for sure. If I'm being honest, I've felt "ok" or "bad" more than I've felt good, but it's been better than pre TRT overall, so that's worth something. I'm with...

You're probably right. Overall, I think it has been a good choice to go the TRT route, if I could only figure out the estrogen issue. I'm 31, fit (12% or so bodyfat gaged by visible abs/muscle definition), yet my E2 has continually been the problem for the 9 months I've been on TRT. I get to a...

You make a good point, thanks for your feedback.

I am 31 and was at 333 prior to TRT and felt AWFUL. Like, could barely make it through the day or stay awake in the mid-afternoon/evening, zero libido, zero energy. So add me to to the list of this being very true.

I've been on TRT for nearly 9 months now. My initial labs, before starting, were as follows: Initial labs (pre-trt): Total T: 3.33 (2.8-8.0) Free T: 6.1 (8.7-25.1) SHBG:69 (16.5-55.9) LH: 5.6 (1.7-8.6) Estradiol sensitive: 19.6 (8-35) Most recent labs (taken the morning before injection on an...

Thanks for advice Vince. So let's say I keep current EOD protocol (it's a true EOD, not M/W/F), and want to try just adding hcg without an AI for 4-6 weeks and testing to see where e2 goes... when should I inject hcg? I'm looking to start with 500 IUs per week and see if that gets balls back...

I've been on TRT for 7-8 months. Started with Test + HCG + AI two times per week. After some research, hoped that switching to EOD would eliminate need for AI, but unfortunately, it's still creeping up. After 7 weeks on EOD Test only, E2 is 42 and I'm feeling it with water retention, hot...

Dr. Saya, I'm a Defy patient as well -- 6 months. Starting out, I was on 80mg Test Cyp, 250IU's HCG, and .25 anastrozole (all twice per week). After three months, my labs came back with Total T above 1500, Free T 42, and E2 at 49 --- and I was feeling it. Fatigue had returned, lots of...

Thanks Gotcha, thanks for your feedback.

SHBG is 69.

Hey all, First time poster here. I've suspected low T for a few years, but after finally convicing my Doc to test for it 3 years ago, he would only look at Total T and it came back at 6.6 (2.80 - 8.00), so he said "you're just stressed" and sent me on my way. I've been in his office once per...
