What about the others?

You just need some tweaking, Doc should be able to help or their are alot of smart guys on this forum. 10yrs in for me, and I ve tweaked things along they way, but numbers are very consistent every year! Personally I like injections every 5 days, (100 mg per T) HCG 500iu every 5 days. At 55 my energy is great, no sides, fitness level is great! I am a trainer so I have to walk the walk.

I've done some tweaking. Mainly with arimidex dosing. Also lowered my test from .5 ml too .4 ml twice a week. Tried pregnelone. Added tomoxifen.

Also do b12 injections. I've also done approximately 5 sets of labs so far.

Five sets of labs in 17 weeks of therapy, or five sets counting those run before TRT began? If it is the former, you're potentially tweaking your protocol to rapidly. Typically, it takes at least four weeks for serum levels to balance following changes.

Sorry, one was before therapy.

As Dr. Saya and others note in this thread, frequent, smaller injections is a protocol more in keeping with low SHBG (and you have issues at the other end of the range). Nonetheless, I would certainly raise the possibility during your next consultation.

All the best.

Thanks Coast for the link. I missed the comments from Dr. Saya about high/normal SHBG. Definitely worth discussing in next consult in few weeks with Defy team since my E2 has spiked for some reason. Think it may be the DHEA/Pregneolone. I'm taking 40/30 mg nightly.

Great stuff to discuss!

Just a quick update. It's been several weeks now (4) I believe of injecting 20 mg every day and it's been pleasant so far. As a matter of fact I haven't felt the need to use an ai or my tomoxifen the last two days and I think I'll continue and play it by feel. Labs in 2 more weeks. We shall see.

After 13 months on daily injections, I can honestly report that it made an enormous, positive difference in how I feel. Keep us posted - all the best!
