[QUOTE="Esq, post: 84998, member: 15250"] After 10 months under treatment with Dr. Saya and Defy Medical, I'm making the jump from clomid to traditional TRT. I won't rehash my history again here, but for those interested, I had a thread running in the Clomid section with those details: [URL]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?9873-Clomid-(and-maybe-more)-with-Defy[/URL]. . I had my most recent consult with Dr. Saya yesterday, and we both agreed that I've exhausted most other potential causes of my symptoms (dangerous to say "all"). That, coupled with what seems to be a trending downward of natural testosterone levels over the past 18 months, now leads me to give TRT a try. The plan is to give treatment 6 to 12 months to see if I subjectively notice improvements. If I don't, Dr. Saya thinks there is a good chance I can do another clomid restart and get my natrual levels back at or close to current levels so long as I don't go much beyond 12 months. . My starting protocol will be 64mg test C E3.5D (128mg/week), 400iu HCG E3.5D, and 0.125mg anastrozole EOD. . Dr. Saya feels that with my high SHBG levels (52.5 before clomid peaking at 68 while on clomid), injections every 3.5 days is a good starting point. He also recommended low dose anastrozole at the outset because my sensitive e2 hit 70 while on clomid (and 0.25mg anastrazole EOD only brought it down to the mid-50s). We're hoping to keep my e2 from getting out of control as I start TRT with the understanding that the dose can be adjusted up or down (or I can stop the AI entirely) if e2 stays more in check than it did with clomid. . My plan is to inject the testosterone shallow IM with a 27g 1/2" insulin syringe and inject the HCG SQ with a 30g 5/16" insulin syringe. I may consider injecting both at the same time town the road, but for now I will start with separate injections. . Meds and syringes were ordered yesterday with overnight shipping, so accounting for Empower's compounding time, I'm hoping to start injections tomorrow or Thursday. Follow-up labs will be in 10 weeks with my next consult in approximately 12 weeks. . Fingers crossed. . . [/QUOTE]
