[QUOTE="Santana, post: 149589, member: 18898"] [B]3 month Update![/B] After the last post on here, I dropped HCG, AI and DHEA. I did testosterone only at 16mg/ daily for three months. [U]Summary[/U] [LIST] [*]Total Testosterone increased [*]SHBG increased [*]Estradiol decreased slighly [*]DHEA dropped significantly [*]HCT increase was much slower in 3 months than previously. [*]IGF-1 came in high but I have not measured that since pre-TRT (which was 251) [/LIST] I've been feeling consistently very good. Life is easier to enjoy. Less worry. More confidence. Libido increased especially in the morning. Haven't been consistent in the gym enough to speak on that but have been handling the busy life with greater ease. Had my followup with Defy and they agreed with with what I was doing. I will be adding the DHEA back but only 12.5mg nightly. I'm thinking of running HCG low dose for a few days once a month (I like the idea of backfilling pathways just in case there is any benefit to it). I'll be watching out for sides of high estrogen if/when I do the HCG because I'm already in the 70s but feeling very good, despite it. I have bloodwork with my PCP next month and after that I may reduce test to 14mg daily and see if estradiol and HCT stay in check. I get the feeling that testosterone levels won't drop much - daily (totalling 112mg/wk) has me at similar levels as when I was doing 50mg 3x weekly but with much better SHBG and overall mood. Besides that, all I have to do is lower my LDL a bit and my numbers are golden! Here are some numbers from 3 months ago and now. All feedback welcome! [ATTACH=full]7526[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
