[QUOTE="Jayko, post: 37283, member: 12119"] Hi all - quick update on my recent doc visit today. Been on steady TRT since last September. 34 years old had the pit MRI etc when my inital tests came back at nearly zero last summer. Everything checked out and I was diagnosied with secondary idiopathic hypogonadism. My protocol has been 140mg per week. Been feeling great but always looking to improve. Recently my anxiety has been coming back a bit, I've always had this so not sure if it's hormone related. My results today were: Testosterone - 1003 - borderline high but still normal Free test - mid 300s - doc said I was borderline high Estradiol - don't remember the number, doc said it was still in the upper range for normal but high Hemocrit - 55ish - he said it was high but nothing crazy My blood pressure came back at 160/82 and my resting heart rate was at 113! My blood pressure has never been high until now. I take a beta blocker on occasion when I do public speaking, and the endo recommended I maybe take a extended release propranolol everyday and see how my heart rate and blood pressure and anxiety react. I think I may have been nervous because when he put the blood pressure strap on my arm my heart started racing a bit. I also asked and he agreed to go to 2 twice weekly injections (monday morning and Thursday night) and we lowered my testosterone to 120 per week (60 each time). I will also be taking and extended release 60mg propranolol everyday. He also is checking my prolactin again and my thyroid just to see how my pituitary is functioning. I told him I really wanted to get to the bottom of why I had almost zero testosterone last summer, and he agreed and said we could but he said most likely whatever they find it will not change the protocol and it's up to me. I mentioned that I really want to get the TRT dialed in and then maybe try a restart in another 6 months to see what happens. I'm also going in for my first phlebotomy tomorrow to try and get my hemiocrit lower a bit. Just basically an update, but to all you experts out there does my protocol sound like a good step going forward and is there anything I should be considering? Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
