[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 189006, member: 15043"] Hahah I’ve definitely done way more experimenting than most. For two reasons. Brain fog is the main symptom I had going into HRT, and it’s something I’ve had all throughout my HRT journey. It’s gotten slightly better and slightly worse throughout my time on HRT the past 7 years, but always present. So I’ve tried so many different protocols to try and get the brain fog to go away, and also because I’m going to be on HRT for life, so I figure it’s worth the effort to find the protocol I feel my absolute best on. In Gman fashion, I’ve actually recently switched my protocol up lol. Was on a nandrolone base from 2-20-20 to 10-5-20. Overall felt pretty good. Brain fog was ok. Not as bad as it’s ever been, but it’s been better. Erections were 9 or 10/10. Libido was a little lower than I like it. Maybe a 6/10. Was definitely there when I needed it tho. Depression and anxiety were both non existent. Very optimistic outlook on the nandrolone base. Throughout my time on the nandrolone base I kept the nandrolone constant at 200mg, and titrated my test dose up slowly. Starting out on 35mg of test and ended up at 100mg of test. I thought if I up the test and get my E2 higher that libido would increase and brain fog would decrease and would feel more optimal overall. But it wasn’t the case.

I was thinking about going back down to 60mg of test with the 200mg of nandrolone, but I actually decided to go back to a testosterone base as of 10-5-20 I’ve been doing a lot of research about the importance of DHT. Not just in regards to libido, but also in regards to brain health and neurotransmitters. And my libido has always been higher on a test base. So I switched to 200mg of test cyp, nothing else.
