Hi everybody,
I was finally able to have my first consult at Defy. The doctor went over all my labs and explained everything to the tee just like you guys said. He recommends me going up in my testosterone since my Free T is not optimal at 12. I've been battling a non existent libido with ED problems along with a year long struggle with not being able to lose weight no matter what I do. My only concern in the new protocol is adding DHEA since many of you say it will cause a further surge in my estrogen which I shared with the doctor. However, since my DHEA is really low at 45, he would like to see it more in the 200's range. I did get prescribed an AI since my estrogen is still high at 39 and that's without HCG. Here is my new protocol, what do you think?
Current Protocol:
Testosterone Cypionate: 100 mg per week, 50 mg injections 2x per week.
New Protocol:
