Hi,
Here’s my story.
It’s probably been running for 8-10y, i had a functional pituitary tumor remove recently, that was causing excess growth hormones.
We’ve discovered it because i ask my doctor for a testosterone bloodwork. I was feeling like crap… and for a long time. Skipping all the details here, but I’ve been put on androgel and then enanthate by my endo and i felt great, sharp.
Post surgery, the endo (the one at the hospital) tapered me off enanthate for a month, cold turkey, to see if pituitary recovered.
I have nothing against that, but i feel I’m going through valley now and that i may have to quit enanthate if my pituitary is in the low normal range which is really not optimal and because endo are very conservative with T.
I really felt good with enanthate and i want to be able to stay on it if my pituitary is not strong enough to signal to produce T without having through justification, additional appointments, blood work, etc. I want my life to be stable, optimal.
I have androgel 1% left and i was thinking on using it until a few days before next bloodwork so that my LH and testosterone shows up as low.
Question: when is the optimal time to stop androgel so that it doesn’t show up high LH and T on bloodwork ?
Thanks
