Hey guys,

So I have been off testosterone cypionate since October 2018 and stopped Clomid on December 2018. Since coming off my Testosterone my levels were 450-500 on Clomid, now completely off everything they are down to 150 taken in the AM. Obviously my restart didn’t seem to work and At this point it may be best to continue my testosterone treatment but using a different ester like Prop or Ace? I’ll attach my labs and if anyone sees anything alarming let me know, thanks.

Weight 205lb
Height 6”
Age 29 turning 30

Symptoms:
Frequent urination
Hair loss
Cold hands
Joints hurt (long recoveries from the gym)
Depression & anxiety
Low libido (no ED)

My main question, has anyone ever recovered from testosterone abuse or long term testosterone therapy (can it cause permanent damage)?? If so, I would like to hear your story and how long it took you to recover your HPTA... let’s look at Ronnie Coleman as the extreme, you think he will ever have decent natural levels again lol??

Are there legitimate sources for testosterone acetate? I'm interested in something with a little shorter half-life than propionate, but not TNE.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
