[QUOTE="johnt, post: 73332, member: 13643"] I got my first follow-up blood work since starting TRT on March 15th and would appreciate any thoughts/insights. To get an idea of where I started see posts #43, #44, and #61 in: [URL]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?7844-Went-to-Urologist-Today-Your-Thoughts-Please/page3[/URL] My protocol for the past 12 weeks has been: 1ML of Testosterone Cypionate injected once per week (25g 1") into glutes. 0.25 AI once per week, generally taken 3rd day after injection. 500MG Metformin twice per day. When I started my main complaints were: Fatigue, Irritability, Moments of Sadness, Anxiety, etc. How I feel now: Anxiety has decreased significantly, moments of sadness not as often, and went from having morning wood a couple of times per week to morning wood every day, and seeing good gains in the gym. I have not felt any changes in irritability; however, my wife says she has seen a change for the better yet I do not feel it is any better perhaps a little worse. And still have afternoon fatigue. The doc did prescribe me Armour Thyroid 60MG when I first met with him but I did take it because I did not want to add something else into my system until I seen how I felt on T, AI, and Metformin. Below is my first follow-up blood work. It was actually drawn the morning before I had my 12th injection. I discussed with PA this morning and she recommended no changes with my protocol. She is very happy with the blood work. Only change is she wants me to increase Metformin to 1000MG twice per day instead of 500MG twice per day and she would like me to start the Armour Thyroid. I am considering dividing my dose into two injections per week and perhaps even lowering to 160 MG even though doctor's office said I can stay at 200MG. What are your overall thoughts?
