EW's TRT Journey

[MarcoFL]

Talk to your doctor but would only use T3. I have also heard where Zinc really helps conversion of T4 to T3 and blocked RT3. Dr Westin Childs speaks of it.

I take ZMA daily so I ruled Zinc out but appreciate the input. I'll look into Dr. Westin Childs.

You mentioned a few times that you are agro and got in a fight with your wife.... my bet is that was the HCG and the related estrogen spike. The AI won't help with this because the conversion is happening in the testes, not aromatising elsewhere.

You're fatigue and 'blah' could also be from the AI. I am not on the anti-AI bandwagon, but unfortunately I can't even handle a .125 dose.... the first 24 hours is great (calm, focused, great libido), but after 24 hours I get horrible brain fog and fatigue, and wicked constipation lol.

It's hard to tell what is causing what; you have so many variables. I love Defy and use them; they are very professional. But I think, from my humble experience, that they introduce too many variables (i.e. multiple medications) right off the bat, and at high doses.

Yeah, I was getting really bitchy/sensitive and dialed my HCG WAY back and have felt pretty good ever since.

What HCG dose are you currently taking now?

What HCG dose are you currently taking now?

I was at 400 iu 3x a week. I backed it off to 275 3x a week and feel a lot better. I also had some gnarly back acne that I haven't dealt with since I was a teenager that seems to be a lot better with the lower dosage.
