[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 107575, member: 16042"] New labs, drawn May 5: [ATTACH=CONFIG]5048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]5049[/ATTACH] Next consultation w Dr Saya This Tuesday. same protocol since early february except reduced HCG slightly : [COLOR=#333333]-T cyp: [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]42mg (.21ml 200mg/ml solution) E3D for 96.6mg/week[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]-HCG 500iu E3D, reduced to 420-440iu. based on testicular response. Any lower and I feel the pinch again[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]-NDT 1 grain every morning, [/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]-DHEA and Pregnenelone 25mg each evenings, [/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]-the usual OTC supplements daily[/COLOR] Symptoms have changed again: What I think was HCT related has calmed down: feeling flushed, chest fullness, more noticeable heart beat especially with exertion have all decreased, plus most importantly systolic BP is back to normal. HCT and HGB are indeed slightly lower, a relief, but still feeling like they need to drop further. And ferritin is up 20 points. Feeling pretty blessed here. However I have been a bit cranky... easier to anger with mild bouts of depression and mild reduced enjoyment of life. Again, this is mild, but noticeable. Also libido is somewhat decreased along with consistent erection quality and sensitivity during sex. Part of this is no doubt psychological as my wife's libido is decreased and I'm a bit frustrated with our sex life. I have no suspicion of any circulatory cause due to nighttime erections raging on.

No new news on the prostate. Next PSA around June 20. And ratbag will be pleased to see full thyroid numbers! (Note:blood draw was less than 3 hrs after taking NDT, and fasting.
