[QUOTE="Lokop, post: 155574, member: 39190"] I started on my trt journey seven years ago. I had cycled steroids for a couple of years, and my system never recovered, so I started on self prescribed TRT. I used to get pharma test e. Whether I used 100 per week or 250, I always felt amazing. Never had gyno, estrogen issues. Sometimes I would use prop instead at 50 EOD. Again, felt amazing with no issues. I self treated for a couple of years and *always* felt good. Someone convinced me I needed an AI so at this point I started taking aromasin 12.5mg twice per week with my test E. I started feeling terrible. Eventually I dropped the AI and went to 100mg once per week. I felt hypogonadal on this protocol and my trough had me at 330 and 16 E2 when we tested it. I ran that test when i decided I needed a doctor's help. I signed up for defy. They put me on 140cyp and 800iu HCG per week. Immediately felt even worse. The HCG gave my gyno despite my E2 test being normal, bad enough to warrant surgery which I underwent. My symptoms are: Low energy, ED, low libido, poor mood, poor confidence, intermittent facial redness, poor sleep. I tried doses totaling 100-140 per week and just never felt good again. I tried prop from defy but just didn't feel good anymore. Can't handle HCG. Pregnenolone made me a zombie. Small doses of AI crash me. I've had my test everywhere from 650-1000 and my e2 anywhere from 16.7 to 45 and I never seem to find a sweet spot for more than a few days. I've tried everything from EOD injections to once weekly. SHBG is mid 30s, DHEA normal in the 300s. Full thyroid panel is fine. My lifestyle is great, I work out and eat extremely healthy and sleep well when I can. Prolactin is sort of on the higher end, consistently between 13.5 to 16. Doc wants to try caber as a last resort option to see if the prolactin is what's dragging me down. I realize you all can't diagnose me here. I know my post was more of a rant than a question but I was hoping that someone else here went through something similar and could give me some guidance or hope or an idea of where to start looking. I really feel like I am getting worse and worse. [/QUOTE]
