It was meant as a standalone question, and it was discussable on its own so I thought it would be better kept separate from my other thread (which I linked to anyway). I expanded in response to Nashtide's question. My mistake.
Thanks for the comments both.
Last test I had E2 was 91.8 (0.00 – 191.99) (but changed protocol since then. As mentioned above was planning on getting bloods done in another couple of weeks).
Not sure if I could get Anastrazole, it isn't readily prescribed here. Easier if I can control...
I am currently trying to dial in my T & hCG dosages, about which I have another thread.
So far there have been one or two ups and downs but overall feeling good except for some ED issues.
From what I can tell most guys with ED problems had it before they started TRT. That’s not the case with...
Thanks Vince. Even more important than the Tadalafil, or are you just talking about the regular non-prescription supplements? Feeling lost on post 972 implied the Tadalafil was the basis.
Gene's stack looks great and I would like to give it a try, but the cost is really going to add up.
Can we apply an 80/20 to it? Can anyone recommend say 2 or 3 of the supplements from the list would give the best 'bang for your buck'? What would be most important if you had to prioritise?
Thanks for the responses. I though that was the case but wanted to clear it up after reading the quote mentioned.
Systemlord, do you mind me asking what your protocol looks like?
It is generally accepted that people with low SHBG do better with more frequent injections, but what about total weekly amount?
Reading an old thread user Okian quoted Dr Mariano as saying “SHBG makes testosterone last longer. The higher the SHBG, the lower the dose of testosterone is needed...
Yes, going to stick with T dosage for next 4-5 weeks then assess again. I'm thinking of pulling the hCG back to EOD though, I think 100 every day might be too much for me.
Update:
Since posting this thread I have started smaller, more frequent injections. For just over a week I have been on the following:
30mg sustanon EOD (105/wk)
100iu hCG daily
Felt some improvements pretty much straight away. Energy and mood up and consistent. Erections and libido good...
Thanks for the comments everyone.
I know my SHBG is low but I was under the impression it wouldn't be considered 'super-low' as it's still inside the reference range, and I've seen posts from guys with single-digit numbers. Those things made me think mine was more low-normal. But perhaps not...
Systemlord, you are right. Getting good medical care for something like this is hard battle, I'm just doing my best to work with what I've got.
The only thyroid labs I have are below. None of the doctors I've seen on this journey have been interested in discussing my thyroid, they all said...
I’ve been on TRT for just under a year and results have been inconsistent, pretty up and down with how I feel but it’s only been recently (last 2-3 months) I’ve had any trouble with sexual issues.
My doctor has said I’m ok to increase dose if I want to.
I would prefer not to have to have to...
Can anyone offer some advice on my protocol please. Aside from low T otherwise fit and healthy late 30s male.
Lab values below are from sustanon 250 @ 125mg per week split into 2 doses (62.5mg Mon and Thu). Bloods were drawn on a Monday morning before injection.
Testosterone - 19 (7.60 –...
Hello Vince, thanks for your reply.
I don't have my labs with me right now but could post them later. Are there any values in particular you would want to see that directly relate to this discussion, or more for just an overview?
He mentioned clomid as an option, but the impression I had was...
To update;
Saw the doctor yesterday and he has prescribed the following:
Sustanon 250 - 125mg 1 x week
hCG - 500iu 3 x week
Haven't started yet, if anyone has any more insights into my original question it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Thank you.
Low testosterone symptoms and blood tests for over a year despite a healthy lifestyle. I have tried tweaking lifestyle factors even more but no improvement. I am seeing a doctor in two days who is willing to help and we will discuss the exact protocol then.
Hello CoastWatcher,
I haven't had a sperm count performed. I believe they do an analysis as part of the banking procedure but would have to confirm that. I am not looking to father children right away, I am just thinking ahead and playing it safe.
Hello EM, first post here and would appreciate any opinions. I did a search but didn't see this question addressed.
I am about to undergo TRT under doctor's supervision and I think I will be prescribed hCG to maintain fertility.
I was thinking about banking some sperm as well for additional...
