[QUOTE="Vintageviking, post: 264957, member: 45953"] Thanks for the detailed reply [USER=13851]@madman[/USER]. The heart attack was a life changing event as I still haven't mentally adjusted and am always aware of it now. Not been going to the gym when I hadn't missed a day in years before it happened. I feel lost, no drive anymore. The results of 120mg was too high, but I felt better and had more function than at 60mg. Had been running the 60mg dose for months and only added the HCG for fertility reasons. Dead to the world on that protocol, even worse feeling now after dropping everything this past week for a restart. All my labs get drawn the morning just before I do my next shot. That's my trough reading on both them tests. I pin x2 per week, but have tried daily and didn't notice any difference so x2 a week shots, HCG same time and no AI. Should of mentioned that. I have tried protocols 12 weeks and over, but normally you would expect to feel something positive after 6 weeks. I don't have HCT or Hem on those 2 tests sadly. When I first started TRT protocols I started at a very high 250mg per week divided into 2 doses. I ran this for about 8 months and pulled a test. ( only found these results after hoking about my computer ) ALBUMIN - 45 ( 35 - 50 ) SHBG - 31 ( 18 - 54 ) FSH and LH 0.3 Oestradiol - 157 ( 40 - 159 ) Total Test - 38.6 ( 8 - 29 ) Free Test - 0.9 ( 0.2 - 0.6 ) Free Androgen Index - 122 (24 - 104 ) Prolactin - wasn't tested Dhea - 4.6 ( 2.4 - 11.6 ) On this test of 250mg in 2018 The TT FT and E2 were a lot lower than my latest 120mg test. The same testosterone was used, I only use pharma grade and the same company. After this test I attempted a restart without HCG or any Clomid, just a raw restart and stuck that hell for about 5 months. I was near throwing the rope up so pulled this test. HCT - 0.4 ( 0.3 - 0.5 ) TSH - 1.2 (0.2 - 4.2 ) Free T3 - 4.8 ( 3.1 - 6.8 ) T4 - 19.7 ( 12 - 22 ) ALBUMIN - 44 ( 35 - 50 ) SHBG - 51 ( 18 - 54 ) Total Test - 10.9 ( 8 - 29 ) Free Test 0.1 ( 0.2 - 0.6 ) Oestradiol - <18 ( 40 - 159 ) So this was after 5 months on nothing. SHBG shot up to 51 and my TT, E2 and FT very low. By the looks of that I would need TRT no doubt ? All I want is to feel good and get my fertility up. At this moment I'm far away from both. It doesn't matter TRT or not, whatever works Ill be happy. Is this restart going to be a waste of 5 months feeling like crap and ending up on TRT anyway ? Should I give TRT another go and possibly add in a very low dose AI ? My problems are mostly soft erections, lack of libido and hard to bust a nut. Even at 60mgs My E2 sits near out the range. Everything else is green ticked mid to high range. Thanks again [USER=13851]@madman[/USER] for the links have read over them. [/QUOTE]
