[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 41849, member: 2624"] With all due respect, I question your doctor's knowledge of male hormone replacement. Your protocol is, to put it mildly, working against you. A weekly dose of 300mg of testosterone is excessive and 3mg of Anastrozole a week is great - if you are a woman recovering from breast cancer. Knowledgeable doctors, those who work at the cutting edge of TRT, typically administer frequent small injections (every 3.5 days is somewhat standard) and are very careful to prescribe Anastrozole only when needed. Typical starting dose is 50-60 mg of testosterone twice weekly with no anti-estrogen. Such a protocol will typically see total testosterone in the 900s, if not over 1000. Anastrozole can be added if necessary. You have suppressed your estradiol to a point that it may well be impacting your libido and erectile function. Your total testosterone is not as high as one would like - do you have your SHBG lab results? You may be taking in 300mg of testosterone, but your SHBG could well be working against single, large doses. You feel terrible. It isn't your fault, it's due to a bungled protocol that clueless doctors ordered up. [/QUOTE]
