[QUOTE="madman, post: 108570, member: 13851"] Trt can be great for men that are truly in need and the right protocol will have a big impact on how effective it will be but do understand that it is no ride in the park. When one commits to trt increases in estradiol are common and may require management whether from use of an aromatase inhibitor or dose/protocol change. Increases in hemoglobin/hematocrit are a given and may need to be managed through frequent blood donations and there is also a strong chance of ending up with low ferritin/iron which also needs to be managed. Higher doses of testosterone can have negative effects on lipids (lower hdl). Shutdown of your HPTA and natural endogenous testosterone levels along with reduced sperm count and fertility issues, shrunken testicles and many men end up having to add hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin) to their protocol to improve these things. These are some issues that you may have to deal with/address when using exogenous testosterone for trt. Aromatase inhibitors/hcg use/blood donations are things which may be needed when on trt. In your case with your levels I would do anything to avoid having to start. [/QUOTE]
