[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 63459, member: 2624"] Welcome to Excelmale. You are on a protocol that will not lead you to success, I can guarantee it will result in failure. The half-life of testosterone is such that it simply doesn't lend itself to injections on an every two week schedule. It doesn't matter how much you inject every two weeks, your body will eliminate it well before your next injection and you will feel miserable. That's the first signal that your doctor is, at best, uninformed. The second? His failure to monitor estradiol. Estradiol needs to be followed by every TRT patient - it's simply part of a protocol. Guess what? On 200mg of testosterone every two weeks you are far more likely to spike your e2 than on a sane protocol involving more frequent, smaller injections. There is, however, a third signal that ought to concern you. What was said about your elevated prolactin and what is your SHBG value? If the answer to the prolactin question is, "nothing," and your SHBGG wasn't measured then you hit the trifecta of physician incompetence. Prolactin, if elevated can hammer libido. SHBG is an essential test to help tailor a protocol. As a bonus. - given you age was anything said about a restart protocol? You aren't the first fellow who fell into the care of a doctor who didn't know how to manage a TRT patient. You need better care, you deserve better care. It can be found. Please consider these points as you're not heading in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
