[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 209903, member: 38109"] Here's a somewhat different perspective: I've had similar numbers and similar symptoms. The disruption of an AI can initially appear to help, but it seems like the benefits never last. At least for me, a bigger factor is that the level of testosterone is too high. Having total testosterone over 800 ng/dL is nice for athleticism, but it's well over the average of 600-700 for healthy young men, implying it may be well over your body's natural set point. TRT is already quite disruptive, suppressing or influencing many other hormones. The effect is compounded when the level of testosterone is greater than what's normal for you. In any case, if you haven't experimented with doses up to at least a 30-40% lower then you should. You also need to allow a couple months between changes for your body to adjust. Using hCG can be helpful because it's acting to replace one of the hormones suppressed by TRT: LH. Unfortunately it's an imperfect replacement, and excessive estradiol is a possible result. Something to keep in the back of your mind is that, if in the long term you still never feel dialed-in then you can try a testosterone nasal gel, such as Natesto, in place of conventional TRT. This has the big advantage of reducing the impact of higher testosterone on other hormones, potentially giving better subjective results. [/QUOTE]
