Gentlemen I had a semen anlysis done last week and I thought i would post the results.
My background is that I engaged in ~8 years of steroid and TRT use. Mostly the latter in the final 2-3 years of my journey. I did my last shot of test Nov 23, 2023. I am 32 years of age.
Before quitting I would try to read up on other people's experiences and was often frustrated with the lack of follow through on posts, so I thought I would do my part and post everything here so anyone curious has at least a sample size of 1.
I did not use any SERM/hcg/other PCT or recovery drugs other than tamoxifen/enclomiphene a few times back when i first got off. This was incosinstent and not really much of a protocol.

I am in the same boat as you, I am extremely sensitive to the T... I guess I became sensitive in time... 5 years trt here..
I started at 140, and persisted with trying higher ... thinking it would be good... but nan, chasing the dragon I guess.. Now I am in a lowering phase, which my dock si continually telling me to do. So I am finally listening... lowered my dose in time, my current prescription s 70mg/week I inject twice a week...
I am now testing 56mg/week... and low and behold dick is better and sleep is better... more deep sleep... go figure. I have not done labs at this low...
I'll start with a bit of background. I have been on AAS/TRT for ~8 years. The first 5 or so full blown steroid use and the last 2.5/3 years on TRT. I never used hcg while on AAS and sporadically on TRT.
I pposted this thread on Nov 16 looking to lower my trt dose after a off the charts FT and E2 reading.
I had planned on doing 5mg a day to try get things under control. This lasted about 2 weeks, i felt better initially then started feeling like shit again and was tired of pinning every day...

Hi all,
I have posted here before about my cold turkey journey after ~8 years of exogenous hormone use. I did my first set of blodwork after about 6 weeks of stopping. Just did another set of bloodwork after almost 5 months (143 days) and thought I would update. Unfortunately it looks like my numbers have come in a bit worse than before and worse I would have liked. My test is significantly lower and my estrogen has not had a propotional decrease.
