[QUOTE="BUD987, post: 205882, member: 42714"] [SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana]Hi. Still very new to TRT. Would greatly appreciate advice/thoughts/insights from you pros.[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=12px]Started JUNE 18 at 140 a week - 70mg q M/Th. HCG 350 q Tu/Fr. Had issues with over stimulation and random anxiety/insomnia day after injection. Per recs on this forum and talk with my Dr. lowered to 100mg/wk - 50mg x M/Th and same HCG. Those odd random anxiety episodes subsided and I think theres definitely something to Test being a dopamine agonist/pro-dopaminergic agent. Fwiw Im sensitive to stimulants. Still WAY too soon to claim any durable effect but subjectively I have noticed a 3-5/10 difference in energy, increase in morning erections and ability to get erections with porn. Much better if i get sleep. My schedule is crap and sleep is still inconsistent which Im sure is a big, big issue. Main reason for TRT was bcs my libido and energy levels were low and very random/brittle. I feel less 'brittle' energy wise but libido isnt consistent. Prior to start labs also confirmed 2* hypo. TT/lcms 300s, Ft 30s I believe. Lastly Im a former propecia user so Im very concerned that will confound or complicate my TRT progress. Labs at 4.5wk on 50mg 2x week [split 25mg shallow IM del and 25mg SC - M/Th each inj]. and hcg 350 T/Fr. Was rx'd anastrozole - Used at 0.5mg about 3 times during that 4.5wk, have now stopped: Quest:[/SIZE][/FONT] Trough day 4 before next shot. [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=12px]TT via LCMS - 712 --[n=250-1100] FT via dialysis - 136 --[n=35-155] E2 ultrasens lcms - 18 --[n=<29] SHBG - 22 -- [n=10-50] I experienced a strong desire to inject more frequently for no real reason other than curiosity as well as Dr Sayas 'automobile' analogy. Plus theoretically at least it makes sense from a physiological pov. On 7/26 I Started daily 16mg MWF and 14mg T, TH, Sat, Sun. = 104 mg /wk. Been on that x1wk at this time. What are your thoughts? - Are my labs 'right'? Even though Im not feeling anything consistent? Is SHBG low, high, good range? E2 low, good? etc. - Should I stay on the qM/Th protocol or ok to have changed to daily at same weekly dose total? - Ive read here that when going daily you should lower your total weekly dose by as much as 20%. True? - I have zero issues injecting daily from a needle/hassle pov. In fact its nice to just do daily and not think about it. - By changing frequency to daily x 1wk have I set myself back in terms of being able to gauge results subjectively? - Does HCG help anyone subjectively or do more people get negative effects than positive? All I care about are subjective changes. I could care less what my numbers are.[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=12px][FONT=Verdana]Lastly, Ive been reading a lot of your posts regarding pregnenolone and allopreg on TRT.
