It's been a journey but I think I am dialed in.

After six months and two does adjustments and adding HCG I think I am finally dialed in. I have gone through some rough times and thought about quitting but I am happy I didn't. My mood has stabilized, sexual function appears to be back and energy and workouts are great. For those of you struggling with it I would definitely say to hang in there.

I ordered some numbers from discountedlabs.com which was very easy and convenient. I take test cyp 0.4 ml Monday and Thursday and had blood drawn before my Monday injection. I am also on HCG 100 IU every day. This is the ED panel:

Total Testosterone - 988
Free Testosterone - 20.7
DHT - 51
Estradiol, Sensitive - 33.2
Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct - 1.42
TSH - 1.14
Prolactin - 5.9
Triiodothyronine,Free,Serum - 3.6
 
Those are all excellent numbers across the board, even TSH is near perfect. I'm coming up on 7 month originally started out on weekly injections, then twice weekly and recently EOD injections. Wish I had started out on EOD protocol sooner, 5 days in I'm already starting to feel a whole other level of fantastic!

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
