I'm just starting back on 200mg/week (100mg 2x/week) with hcg. I started TRT at this dosage (Dr supervised), and I guess ignorance was bliss because I have way more issues now that I started trying to tweak things. I'll keep you posted in a few weeks.
In the last year I've tried drastically lowering the dose (70mg), I've tried eod dosing, 2x/week dosing, and subq eod dosing. Subq did not seem to work well for me. With low shbg, we've heard daily dosing is required, but I'd prefer to not take 365 IM jabs per year.
I also recently did a 5 month fertility run of 25mg/day of
enclomiphene. It did raise my sperm count, but my testosterone never got over 300 (Lh was 3.4, FSH was 1.9). I ended that in October/November, and I'm still not back to normal. I gained 25lbs that I can't shake off no matter what I do. I absolutely ate a calorie deficit for at least 3-4 weeks with no fat loss, and haven't been this fat in 25 years of lifting/working out. I've read that there may be something to clom/enclo hurting men's metabolism. It was either the
enclomiphene, or being at a sub 300 level for 5 months...or both. After the 5 months, I resumed TRT at 100mg/week, and definitely was still not feeling great (libido and eq are pretty bad).
Of interest on my
enclomiphene trial, I tested everything at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks. My shbg remained 16-20 through week 12. However, at the 16 week mark, my shbg went up to 30. I'm not sure if it was a lab error, but my total test level was exactly 302 at week 12 and at week 16.
