[QUOTE="Jekyll900sl, post: 154591, member: 37884"] Hi all, I've tried to read a lot of different threads here on the forum but get overwhelmed, so forgive me if this isn't the right place for my thread. I've been on TRT for almost a year. My previous clinic had me on the following protocol: -1 mL Test per week (infused with DHEA, the clinic would never give me Test straight up) -Half of 1 MG tab anastrozole once per week -50cc hCG twice weekly After 3 months my labs were: -Test 1186 ng/dL -Estradiol 44.9 pg/mL This is all the clinic would pay to check. Fast forward six months. I finally got my PCP to take over treatment. He doesn't know anything about TRT but is willing to work with me. I changed up my protocol feeling as though I didn't care about my total T being over 900 ng/dL. I am now doing the following: -.6 mL of Test, once weekly -50cc hCG twice weekly (sometimes skip a dose, I don't care about atrophy) - 1/2 1 MG tab of anastrozole, I occasionally play around with this dosage. I really don't want to take it. My latest complete labs after the above protocol, (two weeks of the anastrozole dose) labs taken on a Thursday, injection on Monday, are as follows: -Hematocrit 54.6% (my previous non-TRT was 50%) I live at 4000ft. -Prolactin 10.48 ng/mL -Free T4 1.17 ng/dL -TSH 3.20 ulU/mL -Progesterone 0.290 ng/mL -Testosterone 1292 ng/dL -Free Testosterone 31.68 ng/dL -SHBG 33.61 mol/L -FSH .521 mIU/mL -LH <.100 mIU/mL -Estradiol (Ultra) 37 pg/mL -Reverse T3 15.5 ng/dL I feel I need to reduce my weekly Test dosage yet again. I felt much better when I reduced it down to .6 mL, I also lost 6 lbs of water weight. I feel I am holding water again and can't seem to get back down to 170 lbs (my lbs 3 years ago), currently hover around 179-183 lbs. As for side-effects, there's the weight gain, sometimes feel like I am going to cry over the stupidest shit and I have ED. I hope this is enough info, I appreciate the help. [/QUOTE]
