[QUOTE="Matt Leiser, post: 86827, member: 15454"] Hey Everone. Been a while since I have posted anything on progress so at a point of what to try next. for the past 6 months I have been doing the LCHF/Ketogenic diet. Dr recommended as my markers for insulin resistance in my last yearly physical (high trigs, low HDL (ldl was normal), hypertension, borderline diabetic fasting glucose and a1c, and a 50 inch waist. Happy to report I am down almost 60 lbs. blood work next week to recheck other markers and crit levels. in terms of trt for the last 6 months I have moved from 100 mg weekly to 60 mg E3.5D to 40 mg EOD. Results are below for trough levels at those dosages. Prior to apr 21st this year dosage was 100mg weekly tot T 528 range 250 to 827 ng/dL after the Apr 21st draw I moved to 60 mg E3.5D as I felt I just wasn’t dialed in and was losing energy by day 5 on 100 mg weekly. 60 mg results on July 24th Tot T 640 range 250 to 1100 ng/dl free T 171.9 range 46 - 224 pg/ml bioavail T 338 range 110 to 575 ng/dl SHGB 14 range 10 to 50 nmol/L felt better but not optimized so told Dr due to SHGB value I want to move to 40 mg EOD ( he thought I was nuts but was onboard and intrigued) sep 25th results now 40 mg EOD total T 899 range 250 to 1100 ng/dl FRee T 212 range 35 - 155 pg/mL Think I may have found a keeper protocol as energy is good but now I am having some issues with aching in the testicles where I did not experience this before. They seem to be smaller, ride higher and are a bit squishy. Sorry if TMI. I am NOT on HCG and have never taken it but have been wondering if it is time to start smaller doses? Please ALL opinions are welcome. [/QUOTE]
