[QUOTE="DizzyD, post: 204232, member: 42766"] Hello all, I am a 32 year old male 6'-1" and 190 pounds. semi-athletic build with probably around 15% body fat and exercise regularly. Lifestyle over the last year: I lift weights 5 times a week and run about 6 miles per week. I have a pretty good diet and get plenty of sleep usually 8-10 hours per night. Over the last 6 months to a year i have been experiencing all the classic symptoms of low T. fatigue and brain fog unbearable to where it is a challenge to just send a few emails per day for my job. not building any muscle and steadily gaining fat. I came across a well-advertised online clinic who appeared to be a legit option and moved forward with the physical, blood test, and consultation. Total T was 305 ng/dl with Estradiol 9.8 pg/mL. They did not test for Free T, LH, FSH, or SHBG. Admittedly i was excited to get on therapy after reading all of the great lifechanging results people talk about. In hindsight should have done more research beforehand but this is where I am. I did my first injection of 200mg test cyp w/ anastrazole mixed in yesterday (can't locate what dose of anastrazole it is). Gonadorelin (.1mg per week) is also part of the protocol but i have not injected any of this yet. I explained to the doctor during the consult that I want to preserve fertility and he said that is what the gonadorelin will accomplish. Over the last day I've gone down the rabbit hole reading about anastrazole AI and gonadorelin. From my understanding the AI should not be mixed in with the testosterone because then you’re locked in to using it until the next batch arrives which for me is in 2 months. Using an AI like Anastrazole can possibly crash estradiol and it appears mine is already low to begin with. Mixtures like this don’t allow for any tweaking based on symptoms. I also read about how gonadorelin is not as proven to preserve testicle function compared to HCG and HCG is not available from this clinic. So in my eyes this is a higher fertility risk when I want to likely have kids within the next few years. My plan is to stop injecting the T/AI mixture after the initial 200mg injection yesterday. From what I’ve read on forums this would not require any PCT medicine and I should be back to my old self in a few weeks. I have inquired with Defy Medical already and like how they offer custom protocols with AI’s separate and also the better known HCG. I realize it could be several months before this switch would occur and I'd like to also get a sperm analysis baseline during this time. My questions are 1) should I inject the Gonadorelin given I only injected one 200mg dose of T/AI and plan to discontinue it until I can switch clinics? If so how much of the Gonadorelin? I am thinking maybe one weeks’ worth since that is the amount of test I administered but I am pretty much guessing. 2) when would be the best timing to get a baseline sperm analysis done since I may have diminished LH, FSH, and sperm over the next few weeks?
