[QUOTE="ef88, post: 198012, member: 42282"] I'm not sure if we can use company names here, and I'm not advertising, but I found the site Male Excel HRT which sounded an awful lot like this forum's name. I have a decent understanding of these things and have some hands on experience with TRT trials through my job. My good friend is the chief of endocrinology at my hospital as well so I can usually get some advice from her. I do not want an AI and I think monotherapies are not a good long term solution. But I am also uneasy with the idea of pinning myself for the rest of my life. There are alternatives but it's still a huge decision. I don't want to shut down my hpta system and would like to remain fertile, but it's all just a lot to think about. Worst case scenario, say I need trt...I'd probably want hcg as well to maintain fertility. But you read that most men can become fertile again by getting off trt, suffering for a 6 months to a year, hop on Clomid, hcg, hmg....it's so much work. and as lame as it might sound, the idea of testicular shrinkage sort of bums me out. I've done as much as I can regarding good diet, exercise, weight control, supplementation, etc. It's just time to get some legitimate bloodwork done. I'm at a weird spot. I don't feel like death. I am not extremely depressed. But I am annoyed, and I'm afraid all of my shortcomings have become so "normal" for me that they aren't on my mind as much anymore. I'd love to look down one morning and see an erection. I'd love to be intimate with my girl as much as possible. I'd love to have a motivation and drive to have more sex. I want to be as sharp minded as I was a few years back. Alert. No more fog. I'm young and I feel like a loser or failure somehow. I want to correct all of this "naturally", whatever that means. Living the remaining 2/3 of my life on hrt just sounds scary and tiring. But would the outcomes and "fixes" make it all worth it? Let's just hope something in my next test gives me a starting point and guides me to a better quality of life regardless of what that entails. [/QUOTE]
