My primary has kept an eye on my liver enzymes for many years even before TRT they were not great. He was never too concerned until they 'tripled' what they should be. However, I recently had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and liver for something unrelated and gastro told me I had fatty deposits on the liver so we are trying to attack that.

When I first started TRT I used no HCG for about a year. I only added it later on because TRT made me infertile. We have had our children and will not be having any more so I guess I could stop the HCG but Defy has told me that it has many benefits as we have receptors for it all over our bodies just not our testicles. Something to consider for sure.

Agree that we could tweek those thyroid numbers a bit but they are not off to the point that I would think they would cause this much fatigue and crapiness

[QUOTE="stlstudent, post: 155642, member: 12108"] My primary has kept an eye on my liver enzymes for many years even before TRT they were not great. He was never too concerned until they 'tripled' what they should be. However, I recently had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and liver for something unrelated and gastro told me I had fatty deposits on the liver so we are trying to attack that.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
