[QUOTE="MNguy, post: 196911, member: 39709"] Hi everyone, not my first post but this seemed the most appropriate section to post this. I just got my latest lab work back, first full set since august. I’m approaching my 2 year mark on trt and I’m wondering where I go from here? First year I was on test cyp 140mg/week and ranged up to 160 for a short period both with 2x/week and EOD protocols. I never consistently felt great, but I had some bursts here and there where I felt really good. Last may I decided to give the cream a try and see how that went. For me the cream was a roller coaster, but I definitely felt the the highs were higher than the cyp and they lows were about the same, maybe slightly worse. I tried various protocols on the cream, but I always noticed that I felt best a few days after a protocol change, then the effect tapered off (not uncommon from what I’ve heard). Also worth noting, my levels are much higher on the cream. Practically double that of the test cyp. I could never get above free T of 23 on cyp. Eventuality I stopped having the great highs with the cream and I mostly have just been feeling like crap these days. So, I am looking for a little guidance. I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet, but it’s crossed my mind. Obviously by looking at my most recent labs one can easily tell my levels are too high. Other things I’m considering are low progesterone, high rt3, highish TSH, lowish B12, highish prolactin. My protocol when labs were drawn is as follows: 2 clicks test cream scrotal application (100mg) all in the AM, 25mg T3 extended release, 400iu HCG 2x week. Low dose iodine, selenium and vitamin D. Mostly what I’m dealing with is low libido, fatigue, lack of motivation, and sometimes a bit of brain fog. I’m not looking to wake up everyday feeling like Superman with a 19 year old libido. But I would like to find some better consistency, more energy and vigor for life. Basically, I feel I have several options: stick with a lower dose of cream and see how that goes. Switch back to injections and start completely fresh. Quit trt altogether. Not a fan of the last option, but there may come a day where I’ve had enough. Any input would be awesome!
