[QUOTE="GeauxBears, post: 62614, member: 5724"] I plan on writing a post about my perspective on how to have a successful TRT journey soon, but in reading this post I thought I would comment. It took me 2 years to get to a steady state...2 YEARS. This journey included multiple approaches from several physicians until I landed with Defy...from plain TRT to HCG mono to Clomid to now successfully with TRT/HCG/AI. When I finally landed on TRT/HCG/AI, we had to tweak the TRT dosage, injection schedule and AI dosage over the course of 6-8 months to zero in perfectly on a protocol that worked for me. The right approach takes TIME and expertise, and lots of it. I think in the world we live in, we are used to instant gratification...tapping on a song we like and having it load to our phones in seconds, etc. As Dr. Saya and others have mentioned, the human body doesn't work that way. It takes time to achieve homeostasis, and every time something is changed in the process, the body has to completely re-adjust. I'd be lying if I told you I didn't try to be my own doctor at times throughout this journey. The most vivid example I can think of was when starting anastrozole. For some reason, even at very small doses, I had very uncomfortable side effects with this med: headaches, irritability, the whole nine yards. I constantly decided to not take it...or take it less often...or mess with the dose...something to convince myself that if I only made this one next adjustment, everything would be "perfect". I finally decided to just take it as prescribed...EOD...and let it ride. Since then, magic has happened. My body has adjusted and I don't have those side effects I first experienced. We have made some changes since, but they have been focused on dialing in for specific things. I say all of this to say: it takes time, focus and discipline to find a regimen that works for each of us specifically. Sometimes it takes longer than we'd like, but the important thing is to find the right physician, trust them with our care, and do our individual parts by staying true to the plan. I see guys on this forum and others constantly changing stuff, chasing perfection and treating their bodies as if they were some kind of science experiment. Success tends to happen more methodically than that. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
