Pellets to Test/HCG Injection - Mixed Results Any Advise

[Test-Joe]

Hi All-

Long term member here. 58 yo white male with 5+ year history and symptoms of low T. After 3.5 years on pellets that shrunk my testicles and had me on roller coaster mood swings changed to injections. I am on protocol with 200mg T-Cyp, 500iu HCG and 0.15 mg Anastrozole every 3.5 days. Also take 25 mg DHEA nightly. Started protocol in early Sep 2017. Mixed results so far. Overall mood and reactions much more level than with pellets. However, not much improvement in testicle size, although they are not always high and tight as before. Also not much improvement is sex drive and libido, and minimal nocturnal erections. Recent blood work as follows:

Total T = 1,480
Free T= 436
SHBG = 49, lab range normal range 11-80
DHEA= 382, lab range 70-310
Estradiol Ultra Sens = 41.1, lab range 10-42
Prolactin = 5.1, lab range 2.1-17.7
TSH = 1.790, lab range .24-4.2

I was hoping for better return of testicle size and with a Free T in 400’s would think sex drive and erections would be stronger. Appreciate any thoughts or advice.

Are you injecting 200 mg twice weekly or is that the total dosage for the week? I hope the former not the later...

Typo. Inject 20mg twice per week.

You posted a total testosterone of 1480 on 40mg a week??? When did you have blood drawn? Proper testing procedure is to draw just prior to injection.

Blood draw in morning before injections. I use T-Cyp and HCG.

Yeah something ain't right.
20mg is .10 on the syringe.

I could believe 140mg /wk would get you to 1480.

If no improvement in testicle fullness after two weeks. You then need to increase your HCG. If you're injecting 500iu of HCG twice a week try 3 times a week.
