[QUOTE="trt reznor, post: 113213, member: 18705"] Hello, everyone. I've been haunting these forums and many like it over the years while researching TRT. I had my results checked over and given a protocol yesterday, along with having my first shots done. I'd love to hear the opinions of some of the veteran forumites here, thanks for your time! About me: Height 5'10", Weight 195, Age 36. I should say that I've previously tried Clomid about 4 years ago. I carry my fat in my stomach and chest, and have bordered on having full on man boobs since my teens. The Doc had me on 50mg per day, which proved to cause anxiety and panic attacks within a short time. I cut my dose down to 25mg/day then EOD, but eventually stopped altogether because I didn't feel any better. The bloodwork results I received yesterday were actually somewhat surprising, since first off they were better than my readings 4.5 years ago, plus the fact that I don't seem to really be hormonally deficient, despite the way I feel. (Lethargy, low sexual function, low motivation. These symptoms have been with me my whole adult life). But I went ahead and started the treatment anyway. I brought up my interest in the daily injection protocols, after reading some of CoastWatcher and other member's success. But he recommended a less frequent protocol to start with, for less hassle. He seems open minded enough to try whatever i want to go with if this doesn't work. Starters: -375iu HCG x2 week (mon and thur) -70mg Test Cyp SubQ x2 week (tues and fri) -D3 Supp 20,000iu /day for two weeks, then 10,000iu/day for 2 months, finally 5,000iu/day maintenance dose -L-Arginine Sup, 500mg/day I opted out of the Cortisol management supp for now to help keep the cost of this initial visit down. First Observations: It's been 24hrs since I took my first shot (both the HCG 375iu and 140mg Test cyp, both SubQ. The rest of my test will come in the mail in 1 week). I don't expect to feel anything on the first day, but I feel like I have more energy/mental clarity than yesterday, while my penis seems "more flaccid" or softer and less sensitive than normal. Maybe these are placebo effects. I understand there is also a transitional period. Please look over my results and let me know what you think of my levels, my first protocol, and if I'm crazy for even going on TRT in the first place. Thanks so much. ps- if the pics are hard to read, I can transcribe, just let me know!
