[QUOTE="Bentiger07, post: 118257, member: 13543"] I've shared my 6 month old labwork while I was on my prior protocol of "62mg T cyp, 500IU HCG, and 0.3mg AI TWICE A WEEK. 1 click of 10% T gel to scrotum and 2-5mg tadalafil A DAY" in post#2 and 6 here. I mentioned I joined the daily injector club and changed protocol to only "9mg T cyp, 40IU HCG, and 2-5mg tadalafil DAILY". I've been on it for last 2 months. New results to compare below. Both blood draws were done before next injection. As mentioned, symptom-wise, I feel a good deal better than my prior protocol, probably because I'm a low SHBG guy. I wouldn't say I feel perfect or else I wouldn't need tadalafil. I decided to test quitting tadalafil. Unfortunately, ED crept back 4 days later after stopping tadalafil, so looks like I still need it. I guess my dream of being natural but symptom-free might not happen, but I'm happy to have a solution. Now that I have a baseline of my numbers with daily injections, I may play around with lowering/increasing my T, HCG, and tadalafil dosage slightly to compare I feel. If you have any recommendations which way to go based on the numbers and my symptoms, feel free to share. Thank You. New results (any easy way to share lab results?
