[QUOTE="S1W, post: 114362, member: 16947"] Just chiming in with a simple observation: 5 months is not that far into TRT for frustration, and almost certainly too little time considering the various changes you have experienced with your protocols. IMHO, its seems like a good progression would be to start with T only and get that dialed in. That alone will likely take months since you need to wait about 8 weeks to give each respective dosage/protocol a chance, and it is unlikely that you're going to nail it on your first or second try. So let's say you try 3 or so different T only protocols (it could easily take more than 3 tries to find your ideal T dosage) to get that end of the equation dialed in - you're already pushing 6 months and nobody here would be surprised if you still weren't perfectly dialed in after that period. Then you might consider adding in HCG etc - this might also affect your protocol and require several trials and adjustments. Rinse, repeat. It could easily take a year or more to get dialed into a protocol that is ideal for you. This certainly isn't the case for everyone - some guys do manage to get dialed in fairly quickly. However, those guys seem to be the ones that started on a lower dose and titrated up to find their sweet spot. For guys like you who start on a high dose (190mg/week is higher than what most guys on the forum use), it often seems like a longer period of tweaking and adjusting is in the cards. I know you probably know all of this, but just wanted to point it out for others who might come across your thread. Hang in there and be consistent - all of this takes time to come together. [/QUOTE]
