I'm back. Overall I feel pretty good. I do find myself more serious than while on T. Testosterone seems like a good antidepressant for some guys and I am one of those guys. I have noticed a bit more interest in sex but at my age that's hard to gauge. 60.5 yrs. I am interested to see where my...

All, Here the numbers from my latest blood work. I couldn't scan in but will do so as soon as I figure it out. This is a Lab Corp panel I ordered through Life Extension as their Blood Test are on sale right now. Note: Standard Estradiol. I am close to the 120 day mark in Restarting using...

I have the same problem. The times that I have come off TRT I'd drop about 10 pounds right off the Rip! I'm off right now and have dropped from 222 to 215 in several weeks. Cant figure it out as not much has changed in habits.

Thanks Vince. I'm still holding out at almost 120 days. Blood work soon. Had to pull back from the Enclomiphene for a bit as I had two back to back Eye surgeries. Will start back soon as I recover. Don't think the Enclomiphene had anything to do with it. I have in the past noticed some...

Will do. Blood work end of the month.

Into week 9 of restarting. Enclomiphene 12.5 mg twice a week. Better libido for sure but low mood all the time. Red Maca has helped mood and energy a little along with my normal supplements. Total T was 239 at the start so I'll wait for Blood work until 120 days in. In the past it was at this...

Right. This is week five for me and as u stated week 3 was kind of rough but I'm moving on now. I switched from clomid to enclophimene last week but have not started it yet due to a retinal detachment which requires surgery tomorrow. The positives so far are increased libido for sure. I hope it...

I agree as I have been very moody and grumpy. I'm trying not to stay on it long as I've encountered the same plus some before. Hoping Enclophimine will be better. Thanks for your comments.

FLGuy, This is my 22nd day with no T. Clomid 12.5 mg 2-3 times a week. DHEA-15 mg daily in the morning. Short History on TRT: On and off for seven years. Down side-Little interest in sex and testicles/scrotum shirking up tight. Upside-Felt good mentally, very fluid but almost to the point that...

Maybe why my libido is low as everything else checks out. Will investigate.

Hey I really appreciate the feed back. Will have it tested very soon. Tried pregnenolone but didn't stay with it. Don't remember if it made me feel bad like DHEA. I definitely need some help in those areas. Everyone stay safe in these crazy times. Joe

I was wondering when and if progesterone should be tested for while on TRT? Don't recall ever being tested for it. I've read numerous articles where men can benefit from using the hormone especially in libido and ED which I have issues with. Appreciate any feedback on this as I am interested. Joe

Thanks for the reply. Age: 60 today. Non-Smoker since 1981. No meds outside of TRT. Alcohol on weekends moderately. Work out regular and active most of the time. Dont run due to previous low back surgery. Weight 220 @ 6'0 tall some overweight. Dont know BF percentage right off as I've never...

Don't know if this is the right place for this but I was wondering if anyone on the Forum has had an accurate diagnosis for erectile dysfunction? I have had to use Viagra for a few years and without it it's more miss than hit! Recently had two Viagra failures and really freaked. Generic Viagra...

I am convinced that TRT exacerbates sleep apnea as I have epiglottal sleep apnea. I decided to stop TRT on 2 January 2020 to see if I would feel better. I do. While on TRT I was always tired though my numbers were good across the board. Especially in the mornings through mid morning I would feel...

I've had palpitations for years even prior to TRT. Can say that one benefit of TRT is that it has calmed the palps for the most part. Still have them occasionally but have had all the work ups mentioned and no concerns. I do continue to have a cardiac workup every few years to monitor.

TorontoTRT, I'll be 60 January 2020.

.85 Pre-TRT. Now 3.2 after five years on TRT. Stable last 3 years but watching closely.

Thanks Vince

10-4 Vince. Thanks for replying. I was trying to save buck on RT3 but will do it soon. I have to ask only because I have read it here on the forum, if Pooling is a real issue. Some say the science isn't there and I have no idea when it comes to this stuff. Two things that I have done for the...

I am attaching Latest Thyroid labs for comment if you will. I'm feeling some better but still tired and slow. TSH is up from 1.5 I was taking a 50% Icariin product from Vijay for erectile quality but have since quit. I read a single study where Icariin can affect thyroid nin ssome people-who...

10-4 Vice. I am going to run the full thyroid panel again. It's been awhile. I hate chasing thyroid though but all my other labs with Defy were pretty good several months back. For some reason I am unusually tired and moody. All I want to do is sleep. Not good.

I have been feeling really crappy lately. About two months now No energy-moody etc... My PCM ordered a Sensitive TSH with CBC. Are there two different TSH test as there are for Estrogen in men? MY TSH has consistent been around 2.7-3.2 over the last several years and now it's at 1.5. Anyway...

There are warnings and Disclaimers on most DHEA supplements which include the Prostate. I would back off and see what happens.

Before TRT mine was between .70 and .85 consistently. After several years on Testosterone my PSA seems to have stabilized at 3.0. 3.0 for the last two years. I check it every 6 months. I was worried a bit at first but was willing to wait and see if it would stabilize. Watch and wait because the...

Thanks Cataceous, Are you buying your own t-3 or through the Doctor's office?

Wife's Thyroid panel is in. Can someone help interpret? Free T-3 looks low to me but not sure on others.

10-4 Thanks

Would anyone be willing to post base labs required for Defy before seeing the Doc? I always use Life Extension's Blood Lab. My wife has agreed to go with HRT-she's tired of hurting and being tired.

52hoosier Hey thanks for the encouraging reply. I that this will be the case for her as well. We will definitely use Defy. Did it take your wife long to dial in and were there numerous changes in her protocol?

Chris-Golfboy307 Thanks for the reply. I am waiting for her Thyroid panel to come in-should be anytime. I will post. She is about 8 years post but in good health. 115 lbs and holding on Keto. I think that she would benefit on HRT due to her good health outside of being in so much joint and...
