31 years old started self administering trt in June 2016 (Almost 6 years ago). Shouldn't have started TRT looking back at lab value I got from just doing one blood test (that was after a bad nights sleep). ~450ng/dL with above average Free T cause my SHBG is lowish (wasn't measured on this lab...

You've been off of clomid for years and you still have floaters?

Low SHBG here too. Can clomid permanently raise SHBG?

Thanks definitely going to take in morning. 25mg though to start probably. I bumped up HCG to 500IU ED. Is that good to get the testicles working before PCT?

FYI, I was on for 5 years self prescribed trt

I'm on day 4 of using 300IU everyday of ovidac HCG. The plan is to do this for 2 weeks then start clomid. is 300IU enough for kickstart before the PCT begins? What dosage should I use?

My TRT SHBG is 16 which is kinda low. I've read TRT lowers SHBG, but by how much? Is is possible my natural SHBG is around 16? I don't have bloodwork that measured SHBG pre TRT

Just came back from a week long vacation where I missed two injections. My erections are better and I have a feeling high e2 is to blame for a lot of trt symptoms. I planned on using this vacation as the beginning of my PCT to get off from 5 years of use. PCT meds are ready to go once my BAC...

I just came back from a week long vacation where I skipped a weeks worth (2) of injections for the first time since starting self TRT of 5 years. Here is what the PCT plan: 1) 5 days after last Test E injection start protocol. 2) HCG 500IU per day for 2 weeks. 3) Then, 25mg Clomid for 1...

Thanks @Nelson Vergel for reassurance of my PCT plan. I'm hoping my natural production goes back to what it would have been normally. Is that reasonable for 31 year old who has been on for 5 years? I never abused them. All injections were trt level doses

Is this still a good regimen? I want to come off TRT and this one seems pretty straighforward

Thanks for the link. Still do definitive protocol in there, though. I may have to add Nolvadex to the list

Any update on your health and blood test results?

There are a lot of different protocols I am finding about coming off TRT. I wish there was a straight forward plan. If you know of a good one please share with me. Here is what I plan so far: 1) 5 days after last Test E injection start protocol. 2) HCG 500IU per day for 2 weeks. 3) Then, 25mg...

I wonder how expensive it is without insurance

Apparently eating grapefruit regularly can help lower hematocrit. Haven't done it yet, but worth trying especially cause it tastes pretty good too and isn't a drug. Who knows if it works though and by how much

I would like to know also

What were your pre TRT bloods and how old were you? TT, FT, SHBG

This might be a tough question. If I had 1000 Total T with the same Free T as I do now, would there be any added benefit to having the elevated Total T? Muscle growth, sex drive ...?

I plan on coming off TRT and want to know if I can use Pregnyl 5000IU that I had locked away just in case for this reason. The date on them says S.K.T. 2018-01. They are just in powder form. They are not in bacteriostatic water.

Yeah, not too happy with any of my results from this test. Hematocrit can be solved by donating blood regularly and lowering dose I see. However, if I lower my dose I will be right back to ~450 Total T which is where I started 5 years ago. I might as well just come off

At a crossroads here, too. I've been keeping this a secret from my gf and family too which I am not happy about. I have a vacation to florida for a week coming up in which I will have to miss 1 injection. I may have find a way to get HCG/Clomid and use that as a time to go back to natural life.

All testing was done in the morning and on a trough day

150mg weekly. Split into two doses. So injecting twice per week. It was done on trough. The morning of the day of my next injection. The other blood markers are included in the lab results. May need to scroll

Got my nightmare blood results back. Why is my Total T so low and why is my estradiol 48 (It's on a separate page of the blood results)? I'm discouraged about continuing TRT since it's basically my pre TRT levels plus high e2. Can bad gear do this? I use ugl unfortunately

I actually started to lower the dose today, like what you have been doing. You're right. I need to try to come off. Also, 477 at age 50 aint too bad

Been on ugl 150mg Test E per week for 5 years. I started at age 26 after seeing the results of only one blood test. Total T was ~450 ng/dL. See attached. The reason I went on T was for mental health. I wanted to be more confident and to reduce social anxiety. I should have done way more blood...

Just switched to the shallow IM with 27 gauge. May look into sub-q later

Since the start of my trt journey (June 2016) I have tested with elevated DHEA-S every time within the 650-700 range. That includes tests right before trt, too. I don't think I have the "brain fog" that you guys are reporting. I wouldn't get into a habit of assuming A causes B. EDIT: Also found...

Tried searching for this, but could't find anything on here about injecting shallow IM in the glute. Does anyone do this with blood work to back it up?
