Wow, this is great! I have chronic sinusitis and my hematocrit on TRT is 52-54 and had to donate every 2 months to keep it there. I'll do MRI and try to do a surgery in a few months. Maybe, that's the problem in my case also...
The easiest way is to stop questioning and go 6 weeks without AI and BASED ON BLOOD RESULTS decide what later. Stop asking questions and do it :D Nothing bad will happen. It's a safe experiment :) " paralysis by analasis "
Based on everything I read from Dr John and Saya, I would like you to try ED and report here with subjective result and also a blood work after 6 weeks. I'm low shbg 10-20 likw yoy and will try the same protocol when I start TRT again.
Coast, please post your T and E2 levels before ED injections and now ? Are you also low SHBG like me ? I had a constant problem with managing E2 with my low SHBG. I'll try in the future 20mg ED of T like you. Are you IN subq or IM ?
Dr. Saya, thank you for the great topic. What would be the starting dose of clomid (12.5mg twice a week maybe) ? What parameters to check on it ? T, free T, LH, E2, SHBG ?
I'm low SHBG guy and had nagative experience on TRT (was very hard for me to manage corect dose of AI) and I will try with...
My DHEA-S is around 200, that's the reason I started to supplement low dose before bed, and also defy recommends it in restart protocol

My father is on 100mg of dhea daily and his test is...
7 days after tamoxifen (10mgED), clomid (12.5mgED) and 25mg DHEA ED.
ashwagandha jarrow 300mg 2x day
LH <0.1 ( 0,8-7,6 mlU/ml)
T 1.13 (2.8 - 8 ng/ml )
So, Hypothalamus-Pituitary still supressed
Funny thing is, I feel great mentally and masturbate or have sex a few times a day with great...
Tnx for reply, but...
I'm not from USA, and T protocol in my country is 250mg of T every two to three weeks. I do not need a doctor for that out of date protocol.
I wrote here about my protocols. Most successfu so far was
100mg subq 2xweek + 500IUHCG 2x week +0.25 arimidex 1xor2x week
But...
I'm self medicating. My parents are Drs, but they're not familiar with TRT... FSH was good, LH on top of the range, sometimes a little above top. Only benefits of TRT for me were strenght in a gym and muscle gains but with so many side effects, including high hematocrit, brainfog, fatigue...
My T before TRT, was low, but in range, like I said 3.5ng/ml. Maybe, I was too rush into TRT, because before TRT I NEVER had ED problems that started on TRT. I was able to have sex 5+ time a day and only first month on TRT was wonderful, but later on fatigue,ED just, hard to manage E2,I went...
My morning 8am blood cortisol is always almost double than normal. 4pm cortisol on the high end of normal range. Morning prolactin on the higher end,but 1pm prolactin good. Also, LH almost every time when I checked, on the higher end, sometimes, above.
So, probably, I'm primary hipogonadal...
My natural T before TRT was around 350 (great libido, but low energy for the past few month before starting it).
Now I want to try a restart and see how I feel. I was using HCG alongside T all the time (250-500IU 2-3x week)
I am familiar with this "standard" pct protocol...
Brain fog, extremely bad mood, fatigue. Muscle pain, lower back pain, erectile disfunction.
Almost the same simtoms when high and low, very hard to differentiate. But Low E2 symptoms are definitely worse (all body pain, total loss of libido,extreme fatigue). But brain fog is the MAIN problem...
