[QUOTE="Santana, post: 137969, member: 18898"] So here is an update: Got some basic bloodwork through insurance/PCP which wouldn't cover several tests but what I did get is enough for me to share as it raises some concerns: [B]Testosterone, Serum ..... (241 - 827 ng/dL) ........ 1096[/B] [I]On trough, 60 hours post injection[/I] [B]SHBG ............. (10 - 50 nmol/L) ....... 9[/B] SHBG was 24 pre-TRT, 17 three months later and 9 six months later (now) [B]Hematocrit ... (40% - 52%) .... 54.9[/B] [I]Hematocrit was 48.8 pre-TRT, 51.4 three months after, then I donated, 54.9 six months later (now)[/I] [B]Here is my protocol:[/B] [LIST] [*]T Cyp 140mg/wk (M/W/F)* [I]reduced from 150mg/wk[/I] [*]HCG 350iu SQ (M/W/F) [I]unchanged[/I] [*]Anastrozole was stopped a month ago [*]DHEA 25mg every night [*]Fish oil [*]Vitamin D3 5000 iu daily [/LIST] [B]How am I feeling?[/B] [LIST] [*]Libido fizzled out, it's nowhere near 3 months ago.

[*]Sleep is still much deeper than pre-TRT [*]Body composition definitely better than pre-TRT despite only training about twice a week on average. [*]Body hair growth is more aggressive [*]Acne is more than pre-TRT but has subsided a little. [/LIST] I'm currently waiting for some feedback from Defy. I'll update this post when they call me.
