[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 56001, member: 2624"] You have a challenging story, don't you? I'm not at all surprised that after so many years your system couldn't sustain a reset effort. What puzzles me though is why you are, as you wrote yourself, "slacked on...never consistent with test or HCG." Is it as simple as needle fatigue? Or is it something more? You certainly must know that for TRT to be successful, you have to be consistent in your approach to it. While I am sorry you have to sort through urinary issues, a serious commitment to seeing your protocol through is important. While it's unfortunate that your labs are missing, I have some questions/observations based on what you did provide. I was wondering about the significant dose of testosterone, 200mg, that was prescribed, and when I saw you also had been told to take a single milligram of anastrozole per week I thought - the guy is dealing with a cookie-cutter protocol and doomed to failure. I still feel it is likely, but looking at your SHBG, on the high side no matter what the reference range is, a larger dose makes sense...probably/maybe. It's a distinct possibility. You certainly may not need the AI - one should never be prescribed as a matter of course. The hematocrit *may* be climbing to a level that needs attention - has that been addressed by your doctor? Again, absent ranges, it's still a question mark. Let me raise the question of the care you're receiving. Given your history, a good doctor, who tailors treatment to your individual situation, is critically important. You may have found such a practice, but I wonder. Defy Medical, which is a site sponsor (I am not a patient), does handle complex cases regularly. I raise the possibility of your consulting them, at least for a second opinion. I commend you for taking charge of your health, but there are lights flashing that demand attention - your history, the elements of your protocol, your hematocrit...you need top-flight medical care. Please think about it. I hope you'll round up your labs, your doctors have to give you copies if you ask, post the details, and continue the discussion. [/QUOTE]
