[QUOTE="Gokk, post: 64048, member: 6209"] Dear All, Over the last six months I added T3 supplementation to my TRT protocol, which is as follows: Testosterone Cypionate: 110 mg per week (35mg + 35 mg + 40 mg) HCG: 600 IU per week (200+200+200) Before adding T3 to my protocol, my Total Testosterone was consistently in the 1000-1200 range. However with the addition of T3 (Cytomel 20mg per day) my Total Testosterone has decreased to below the 1000 ng/dL threshold. Specifically the most recent measurements were: 980 (9/2016), 978 (11/2016), 980 (1/2017) and 823 (2/2017). The thyroid values in this latest blood work came back quite elevated: Free T4: 3.1 [0.8-1.7] Free T3: 8.3 [2.0-4.4] T3 Uptake: 46 [27-41%] Reverse T3: 43 [9.2-24.1] It seems to me that in my case T3 supplementation has led to a decrease of Total Testosterone. Is my conclusion reasonable? Can indeed T3 supplementation cause a reduction in Total Testosterone? ....particularly in my case where it seems that my endocrinologist may have perhaps overdosed T3. Otherwise I do not quite understand what could have caused a reduction in my Total T, given that apart from T3, my TRT protocol has remained unchanged. Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
