Trt restart

[ipi]

What if someone quits TRT (TestCYp + HCG ) after 3 months of use, to get some base blood work? Will the old LH and T levels come back?

What would be the point of stopping to get blood work? To test what, exactly?

Everybody is different in how fast they may, or may not, return to pre-TRT LH and T levels. Remember too, that one doesn't go on TRT unless they have low T to begin with, so when you say "old levels of LH and T" you gotta remember that those are LOW levels - not the levels of a healthy 20 year old man, for example.

I, too wonder what stopping TRT would accomplish in regard to a blood test. What are your goals?

Ok so with lots of good things it brought some bad things. Prolactin went high and I tested it on my own during TRT when it should have been tested before. I have to see if prolactin was high being on trt. Dr wants me to go on medication for it.

SHBG was low, I don't know if it was coz of TRT. Low Ferratin becuase of phlabotemy as my hemotracit goes up and iron tanks.

What is the minimum dose of trt and HCG that I should start on. I want to give it one more try. But first will do my blood work then go on 150 a day HCG to see if the Testis respond to it and then clomid and then test cyp.

I feel like crap after quitting TRT.

Prolactin is easily lowered with a very tiny - like 0.5mg twice a week - dose of Cabegoline. Low SHBG is an issue that I have as well, but is not something that can typically be raised. YOu just live with it/try to work around it.

A starting TRT dose is typically 100 mg a week, broken into 50 mg every 3.5 days. HCG can be as low as 150-250 IU twice a week. At that dose you should not need any AI unless you are a SUPER high converter. Cabergoline easily lowers high prolactin.

Are all of the steps you outlined being coordinated with your doctor? Aren't you a Defy patient?

After 2 weeks I draw blood and go back to what dr Saya suggested....

 

[ipi]

But don't know if my body will go back to 200 t level where I started or zero and if my LH will automatically go to 5.1 where I started.

None of us are doctors, and we can't possibly tell you where you're various serum levels will end up on this experiment. Nor can we second-guess Dr. Saya. He is a physician with an excellent reputation and has the experience to guide you through this. I am sorry you feel as you do, I can only imagine that stopping testosterone does cause all sorts of problems. But if this is being done under the direction of the staff at Defy, I would urge you to comply with their directions. If you have real problems or doubts, contact them.

after 2 weeks ? there's no way your levels will stabilize in that amount of time, it will take several months. If you are serious about what you are wanting to do then having labs done already is not going to tell you anything accurately.

 

[ERO]

And why would you ever want to go back to a 200 Total T level, anyway??? That is severely low and there is no way you are ever going to feel great at that level.
