Back on trt. What’s changed?

[Lowtuk]

My test results came back:

DHEA 137.8 UG/dl ref range 41-50 70-495
Total Test 4.49 ng/ml ref range 1.75-7.81
Free Test 106(2.37%) pg/ml ref range 2-3%
Estradiol 21.35 pg/ml ref range <20-47

Can you advise on if this is good?
How does it reflect the low iron etc..

how should I tweak my protocol moving forward?

Update - Just left the doctors and the below was what was discussed/prescribed.

Omega 3 to reduce the Triglycerides
Said my B12 was borderline and could be why I'm exhausted - gave me a b12 shot and a follow up next week and a b12 supplement
Wasn't overly concerned about my low iron and just gave me an iron supplement
Was happy with my test, total test and Estradiol and said to carry on with my protocol.

@Systemlord you thought my dose was too low before? do you still think that?

Low B12 can contribute to iron deficiency.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the advice/help on this. I’m going to discontinue the TRT. I just can’t get it dialed in properly and I’m blowing up like a water balloon and now I’m not even getting the benefits. I’m tired and libido has gone.

How long after my last sustanon injection should I start PCT?

What is the recommended protocol? I have access to HCG, clomid and nolva

 

[Systemlord]

I have access to HCG, clomid and nolva

Restart protocol -> HCG at 500 IU 2-3 times per week for 15 days, followed by 28 days of clomid at 25 mg daily.

Start the PCT without delay.

Thank you for the continued advice SystemLord.

I went back to the doctors today to get the HCG and Clomid and we went through all of the pre TRT blood tests and as my blood was right at the bottom of the reference range of normal - between 2.65-3.05ng/ml in a ref range of 2.79-8.16 on numerous tests he said he felt I should try a lower dose of test before discontinuing. He felt my stomach fat and watery issue may be due to aromotising too much in the first few dats after the injection.

He has advised to drop to 75mg of test once per week and see how this goes for 8 weeks and do bloods and see how the symptoms are from there.

What's your thoughts on this please?

He has advised to drop to 75mg of test once per week and see how this goes for 8 weeks and do bloods and see how the symptoms are from there.

I would do 35 mg twice weekly, because 75 mg once weekly trough levels aren't going to be great.

Thanks Systemlord.

I have got some insulin syringes and am doing 25mg mon/weds/fri - hopefully this will keep my water and bloating under control
