[QUOTE="phxdiver, post: 124986, member: 28786"] Dr Rotman, Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. I was a 2 year TRT patient (stopped 1 year ago). The last 3 labs I had drawn prior to stopping treatment (the final 6mths or so) showed a significant increase in total T even with reduced dosages, as follows: 150ml 1x/wk - 850 Total Testosterone Serum 120ml 1x/wk - 900 Total T 100ml 1x/wk - 1182 Total T During this timeframe I was also receiving 250ml HCG 1x/wk and taking an AI (Anastrozole) of 0.25mg anywhere from 1-3x/wk. My provider didn't/couldn't explain this paradox of rising T and jokingly suggested maybe I didn't need TRT (hence my decision to stop treatments due to partly agreeing with them as well as my perceived poor standard of care from them in only being concerned with the #'s). Having been off TRT for a year now (cold turkey) and reconsidering TRT again, could you please provide any thoughts/insights into what perhaps was happening with me during my last treatment? My hopes are to be better informed if/when I re-start therapy, as the provider I had seen was seemingly not well informed on TRT therapies. Thanks in advance for your help! CM [/QUOTE]
