[QUOTE="TAS, post: 77879, member: 16268"] Hey everyone, I would like to present my TRT journey and would appreciate any feedback on the protocol that I am on. Am 41 years old and after almost 10 years suffering of Low T symptoms was put on Androgel 1% 5 gm /day with a baseline total Testosterone level of 5.6 nmol/L (8.4-28.8 nmol/L). Tried to talk my endo into a injectable form but he was convinced to have seen extremely good results with transdermals specially to treat decreased libido as it converts more to DHT. Anyways 3 months later although libido was improved, the total Test only went up to 6.1 nmol/L which was unacceptable. I thought that was it and he will prescribe me an injectable now and was thinking about convincing him to biweekly injections. I was shocked to see him write me a script for 300mg/3 weeks of Test E. He seems a very knowledgeable dr. and says to have helped many bodybuilders and people with sports background and believes that even weekly injections are not neccessary as long as the E2 is under control. Claims almost none of his pt.s need an AI. I opted out of HCG as already have 3 kids and fertility is not an issue anymore, also am not concerned about the asthetics of the testicles. I was given requisitions to check my peak and trough total test , Cbc, PSA and ALT levels and only trough E2 levels. So I did my peak tests on day 9 of the 300mg Test E injection and trough tests on day 20. Peak Total Test: 27.1 nmol/L (8.4-28.8 nmol/L) Hgb and Hct levels were within reference range. ALT and PSA was within ref range. Trough Total test: 8.1 (8.4-28.8 nmol/L) E2 : 101 pmol/L ( < 162 pmpl/L) direct immunoassay According to him the results are optimal atleast for the 2 out of 3 weeks and that he would keep me on the same protocol. I have been feeling pretty good. Only during the 7th -15th days I felt increased sensitivity in the nipples which went away as my test went down. Generally, increased energy, libido, erections, better mood and better workouts in the gym. Muscle mass seems to be increasing as have gained about 4 lbs already. I only felt not so good during the 4-5 days before my shot and was getting a bit irritated. Now, I am really confused as to change anything like increasing the frequency of the shots or to keep them the same at 3 weeks. He is going to see me in 6 months with new peak level results. I thank every one to read this post and appreciate any suggestions from experienced members. [/QUOTE]
