[QUOTE="Deleted member 25692, post: 130430, member: 25692"] Update I eventually added HCG into the protocol after I felt I was well dialed in with my T shots, things started going much worse from there. In consideration that HCG might increase T levels I also reduced the dosage (and switched to E3D instead of E3.5D protocol for convinience). The results correlate well with my labs: lost the libido (again! After just getting it back), mild ED problems, slept worse,gyno worsened and overall didn’t feel like energized winner guy anymore that I did for a while. What are your thoughts? I’d like to form an educated opinion before seeing the doc again. I’m in my 30s so fertility is important and so is stopping the gyno for which I’m clearly prone to. Popping AIs for the rest of my life also doesn’t seem appealing. I was also thinking going back to creams with the cost of lower T levels if I’d help with E levels.. Timeline Initial 1, Initial 2 (after 4weeks), TRT 1 (+4 weeks of previous), TRT 2 (+3.5 weeks), TRT 3 (+9 weeks, on the protocol 4w before labs) Protocol TRT 1: Cream 50mg 1gram/mornings TRT 2: E3.5D Injections, 75mg TRT 3: E3D injection 60mg + 500IU HCG Tests TT: 360, 367, 547, 985, 693 (264-916) FT: 7.3, 6.5, 8.1, 23.2, 15 (8.7-25.1) SHBG: N/A, 38, 63, NA, 33.5 E2 ECLIA: 18.1, 14.1, 24.1, NA, 48.4 (7.6-42.6) E2 Sensitive: NA, NA, NA, 44.6, 40.7 (8.0-35.0) Estrogen Total: NA, 116, 124, NA, 168 (40-115) Estrone Serum: NA, 57, 55, NA, 90 (12-72) [/QUOTE]
