Is HCG necessary on testosterone replacement ?

[CoastWatcher]

The easiest way is to stop questioning and go 6 weeks without AI and BASED ON BLOOD RESULTS decide what later. Stop asking questions and do it Nothing bad will happen. It's a safe experiment " paralysis by analasis "

My E2 had climbed slightly when I was injecting every 3.5 days. Never having used an AI, and wanting to avoid one if I could, my doctor and I moved to daily injections. I've injected every day since the first of July, never having missed a shot, and my total testosterone clocks in at 929, my E2 at 25. Speed is right - any problems you encounter can be dealt with.

Ok Guys,

I've settled on 40mg eod (140/wk) NO AI no matter how I feel and will get a sensitive test in 4-6 weeks.

Thanks so much for the support and I will keep you posted.

Flushed the ADEX down the toilet.

Dropped from 100mg twice a week to 42mg EoD.

Feeling so out of it. Brain fog.

Tired.

Is it the drop in T or is it estrogen?

Should I bump it up to 50mg eod

No one can answe that without lab tests. How long have you been on this protocol? Four weeks is the agreed upon minimum for serum levels to stabilize.

One week my man.

Just hoping it starts to get better.

Update: best I've felt in a long time. Energy improved mental alertness was even able to get a decent erection with Cialis. Body temp has increased significantly.

I'm liking the face I see in the mirror a little bit more. That Anastrozole really ****ed me up cause I used it unwarranted. Cautiously feeling really hopeful... That was a two year disaster guessing with AI's. Really created a lot of stress... I'm hoping this marks the end of that.

I am very curious to know how you are feeling now. I am in my third week of TRT. They started me out with anastrozole. After one week I quit that. It put me through a nightmare. I went 10 days without any of the ai. It was like night and day how I felt. They said to please restart back up at .25 every other day. I did that on Tuesday. (And I know what you're talking about how the anastrozole is addicting. It makes you feel good initially) But when I realized on the second round of trying just .125 of anastrozole EOD, is that it restricted my appetite to where I wanted no carbs, because I felt bloated, and I couldn't sleep at night. Panic attacks! I am convinced that I feel much better without it. No one is going to make me take it again or tell me to.

It's crazy how many doctors just prescribe an AI and so high a dose, and do it with no labs or the wrong estradiol test. It shows how many doctors are prescribing testosterone just for the money.
