[QUOTE="stx358, post: 101818, member: 16729"] I have been on TRT for 10 months. Regimen is 80mg Test Cyp q 3.5 and 150IU HCG daily. Current labs are TT - 1091, FT - 23, Sensitive E - 32. Numbers are textbook and body comp really changed over last 10 months - went from 20% to 11% body fat - but the side effects - sleep, acne, weak orgasms - are awful. In a post from a couple years ago on HPTA restart I remember Nelson saying that many men are misdiagnosed due to all the new TRT clinics and I think I am one of them. I started TRT after three tests that showed a Total T around 400 and symptoms - mainly low libido. I was later diagnosed with two large varicoceles which were subsequently removed. Shortly after that I started daily the HCG injections I take now and my testosterone went through the roof. That made me wonder if my testicles were working better after the varicocelectomy. My issues are that I have read that HPTA startup is mainly for steroid users which is not me, and I am 48 years old and I've heard mixed results in guys my age. I did get my wife pregnant at 46 so I am not too far removed from that. I am seriously considering this - the way I see it I can always go back to testosterone if it doesn't work. I'd be overjoyed with a total of 600 which would be an increase of 200 over my pre surgery numbers. I am just looking for someone to shoot some holes in my logic - I am sure there are some - and to share their experiences with varicoceles. There is precious little info on the board about it. Finally, if I decide to come off is it better to lower the dose over the period of a couple months or just stop and initiate HPTA restart? [/QUOTE]
