Restarting TRT + HCG - My Protocol

Tried that along with Proviron and didn't really make a big difference.

Try DHEA without anything else and no TRT at all to see the actual effect. The effects of androgenic compounds are not 'additive'. They interact and may cancel each other effect on sexual system because it depends on ratios not only on how much testosterone you have.

If that fails, I would try Anastrazole 0.5mg every other day for a week. It will give you a super boost of free testosterone and if that doesn't work then your problem cannot be solved by boosting testosterone.

Libido is quite subjective and can be impacted negatively even by work or stress. I typically have a much higher libido when I am in vacation. The best objective way to test for libido is by watching porn and masturbation. If you try with a partner, performance anxiety may create a negative feedback and kill the libido.
 
This could have been misleading unless you mean after 3 months or longer on a consistent protocol (T dose/injection frequency) as many tend to feel well when first starting.

Yes, that's why this time I will stick with one protocol for a few months before deciding to change it.
That's why I was asking if I got the initial protocol to test right.

I have tried when off TRT but no visible changes.

My blood level DHEAs were in good range when I tested.
 
@Chris84 So if you were to go back you would have taken a higher dose or just roll with it and try to attempt a restart when trying to get pregnant?

I probably would’ve just stayed on the low dose clomid that the Dr originally had me on. My labs looked perfect on it but unfortunately I still had the side effects of low T.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
