[QUOTE="madman, post: 103696, member: 13851"] First off you stated that you have been on and off trt for a few years so as you should know using exogenous t shuts down ones hpta and endogenous testosterone production ceases. If one did not use hcg when on a trt protocol than it will take quite some time for the testes to return to their former size as it does not happen quickly. How long on average were you off in between your self treated trt protocol as if the off periods were short and without having blood work done you would never know if you had fully recovered before jumping back on trt. Even though you may have used pct and judged your recovery by how you felt that is a poor way of doing things as lab work would be critical to see how your total t/free t levels and of course your lh/fsh recovered. Usually when one stops trt or a steroid cycle cold turkey without the use of hcg during/immediately after testosterone use ones natural lh production may kick in fairly quickly but the testes are dormant and take longer to recover and respond to the lh stimulation. When on trt hcg should be used consistently and not on/off. I would say it is a big mistake gauging your results self treating with testosterone going just by how you look/feel/perform as regardless lab work is critical to look at other health markers especially hemoglobin/hematocrit -and yes one can still have high levels absent of symptoms and regarding your e2 it is hard to believe you are using an a.i. with absolutely no blood work to even see where your levels sit. Sure how one feels and gauging positive/negative effects when using testosterone is important but blood work is CRITICAL as regardless of how one feels it is irresponsible to not know how using exogenous testosterone whether low/high doses effects ones blood markers and making sure they are in a healthy range. You need to sit back and look at the big picture as even though use of testosterone can have many benefits it can also cause negative issues regarding hematocrit/hemoglobin, elevated e2, negative effects on lipids and of course side effects from excess dht/estradiol.
