Getting treatment in a timely manner, with a good protocol, at a young age, covered by existing medical is not going to happen. Not saying it's never happened, but that person should have bought a lotto ticket. Hopefully you have the means to cover $100-$200/mo. Go straight to a known good...

That effect kinda seemed to hit me overnight. I could never really pay attention to someone explaining something to me unless I was super interested. All of a sudden I could focus even if it was boring. Very dramatic change.

I think topicals are ideal in theory for the reasons mentioned. They simply don't work for a lot of people though if you read up on personal experiences posted here. I'm not curious enough to switch off a successful protocol though. That's for sure.

there is a honeymoon phase of trt as we call it around 4-6 weeks in. Don't expect to feel just like that all the time. Once you are dialed in you will get much of those effects though. It takes months to get dialed in so set your expectations accordingly. Your doctor is a moron so you have to...

I suspect the problem is not just one thing. Your T and E are not at a good ratio. I would probably start a very light AI dose just to see how you feel and only change one variable. The hormones are probably exacerbating existing issues though. I would think that is something you have to...

I think you should go with Defy and listen to the doctor. I don't think your supplementing route is going to give much result long term. Seems your only only problem is related to fitness though. Most people jumping on TRT have a lot more symptoms they are trying to address.

You need the correct e2 test. Spinning your wheels without it. Id get a 3rd test with the correct e2 at some point. Make sure you are rested and not overtrained. If you identify with most of the symptoms of low T you have a decision to make. Nobody can make it for you. Its ironic some people...

I use as little as possible most recently. I'll .125 anastrozol if I notice symptoms of high e2 that I'm aware of from previous experience and testing. Trying “nail down” an ai dose never has made me “feel” great all the time. It just gets you a number. Too much so lowered my hdl significantly...

I need picture of somebody doing to ztrack method in the delt. :) I figure theres not much much I can do about it. I don't really want to change needles or injection sites. Can't figure out why it doesn't do it sometimes.

I'm not a doctor or student in this field. I'm telling you that your run on clomid is temporary. That is all. Most guys end up on trt anyway, but if you don't your hormones are still going to balance out differently after recovery then on clomid.

Read more. There is zero logic in that.

To me it doesn't make much sense to get too worked up over how you feel on clomid. It's more about getting your numbers up AND maintaining higher numbers. If that succeeds you are on a more permanent regimen once you come off where you could tweak things to feel better. That's how id approach...

You might be taking overthinking this to a whole new level here. I can honestly say I don't care. Only way I would is if I was allergic.

It's just really hard for most people to believe the level of incompetence in this field of medicine. It's off the charts. The more you learn the more clear that becomes.

My gut reaction is to say your doctor is a moron, but he's probably just inexperienced in the intricacies of TRT. He sure has a lot of patience for the process of getting you on a successful treatment. Zero experience with Defy here, but the DR posts here frequently and seems to be extremely...

It's close to 3 months before the nebido is close to even being steady state. That's a tough one.

I personally think you have the wrong attitude. **** the doctor and insurance company. You are going to commit to feeling miserable for additional months to save $100-$200/mo? I went straight to the first clinic I could find when I was getting bad treatment and made another move later once I...

I had naturally low e2 that took months to creep up on TRT. Where I'd go from here is an increased dose or on to injections. You already have your T quite high though. I think I'd switch to injections. You will never feel great with low e2 for any length of time. I'd start injections at 80mg...

No offense meant here OP, but you are kinda all over the place. You are being given good advice. Hope you follow. The way you feel on 1mg/day ai isn't going to last. You will feel like death soon enough going that route.

If both are low and you have to ask you should read up A LOT. 4+ weeks of that dose if you are that low you need a large increase in test dose. A dr that can't figure that out is bad news.

So basically BMI is close to worthless, as everyone knows. How well your clothes fit or a mirror would be better? I may have misinterpreted, but t sounds like a study to prove what every man involved in fitness has known for decades at least.

probably due to my somewhat low shbg I felt the up and then gradual down all week like that. I inject daily now at about 200/wk. every 3.5 days was fine also. Daily helped me get a handle on body acne and offered other slight improvements.

I would think it's going to be a sure thing for you to get back to 180 and strong with healthy test levels and lifting. The key would be to eat enough calories and protein. Muscle memory is a real thing.

I had practically zero e2 as well but lower lh and fsh and of course test. I dnt start to reslly see the benefits of trt until I was on 140-150/wk single injections which aromatize a little more. I would increase your dose some.

Gotta be ai dosing. I've adopted the approach of not dosing an ai until I absolutely am positive I'm not feeling well due to high e2. It's rare. I barely need any ai. Not even every week. Labs confirm. You can't approach it the way you are. If e2 was 48 trough, and you had been taking 1mg/week...

The 27ga needles I have waste 7iu of test per use. Says so on the label. I use those to backfill 30ga insulin needles, but I noticed The insulin needle was always reading a little less than what I thought I put in. Those 30ga needles ware about 1iu each. I measured it out once, and 210mg/wk was...

I'll go against what many said and say you need to just find a better endo to do more extensive testing and establish some trends with multiple blood tests. You would be the first success story ive ever read about withbactual proof that increased T to a point of relieving symptoms through...

As stated it's usually a long road to a protocol that works. Your mood, energy, etc will drop with the libido. Terrible idea.

31. Could just be an aging thing. Doesn't mean it will continue to get worse. You are also looking for it now. I did the same thing. Noticed the hair when I looked for it. 2 years later I'm not sure my hairline has changed significantly. Would have to have an old pic side by side. My hair grows...

You don't have a reliable way to test e2 so it's trial and error. Current ai dose is too much. Maybe you don't need any at all? Depends how you feel, and not a number.

The biggest thing that swings my hdl is my e2 levels. If I've been on the lower end most of the time I come in in range, 45 give or take. Dialed in, which is e2 on the higher side, hdl is 70-75.
