[QUOTE="Checkdis, post: 159353, member: 16600"] Hey guys, Been a while since I last checked in. Short story, I ceased all TRT/HRT treatment on November 2018. Prior to stopping I slowly tapered off Testosterone Cypionate at that time was a test. Parallel to the taper, I was taking 350iu HCG 3x/week for a month, then transitioned to Clomid 25md EOD for a couple of months which ended in November 2018. I believe I “PCT” very gradually coming off TRT. The decision to come off testosterone at the time is that I am 30yr and still young, but right on the edge in which natural production may not be optimal. Going forward from November 2018 To present date I have been struggling with frequent urination, dry eyes, knee pain and a strange high feeling (kind of buzzed or light headed) which are episodic. These symptoms have been getting better, but I struggle time to time And I actually am starting to feel a lot better. During this stretch I have had Blood work done several times with normal Thyroid readings but with elevated TPO antibodies only at first. Testosterone has slowly been increasing from each test and LH & FSH has as well, but at a snails pace. I am reaching out to the community because my Endocrinologist wants me to take a Thyroid uptake year which I agree strongly, and also to take M[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]ethimazole, which is basically an AI but for the Thyroid which I am skeptical about but will have to take if I have Grave’s disease[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]1.
