[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 127456, member: 15043"] Just hang in there. You definitely need therapy. Don't give up. You could of felt great at the beginning because you had your own testosterone production going on, as well as the 80mg/ week from the injections. Then once your natural production stopped, your testosterone level might of dropped too low on the 80mg. So Vince might be right, your dose might be too low. Also, you're right as well. With that low of a SHBG, you do burn through your testosterone very quickly. So it peaks and declines at a rapid rate. So you would benefit from daily or EOD injections. Lastly, with your SHBG being so low, you cannot handle much estradiol. So another reason why the benefits could have ceased could be that your estrogen went up a little past what your body prefers. So overall, you probably just need to switch to ED or EOD injections and find a testosterone dose where your free T is in a healthy range. Don't worry about you total T number. To reach a good free T, you're not going to need a high total T. You're lucky in this regard. So you probably don't need a high dose of testosterone to get your free T to a healthy level. And just monitor E2, as well as free E2 if possible. If an ai is needed, just start with an extremely small dose and titrate up slowly. But only implement an ai once you get your free T dialed in. That's if you even need one at all, of course. Once your numbers are all within range, and you switch to ED or EOD injections, I don't see why you wouldn't feel great. If fertility is important to you, I would include HCG in your TRT protocol from the beginning, or if testicular atrophy is a concern. Otherwise, I would leave it out at the beginning and see how you feel once your numbers all look good on testosterone alone. [/QUOTE]
