Adam, I agree with most you need more blood work. Specifically get your thyroid levels checked (TSH). Given your physical stats and symptoms you maybe hypo-thyroidal which can cause low testosterone levels. Treating your elevated E2 levels is only a band aid solution as it won't address the...

IMHO If you start t cream, it will shut down your natural production and it may be hard to recover to the levels you are currently at. If I were you, I would as a minimum get your free t checked and thyroid checked before doing anything.

I would venture to say that mine are also about 30% smaller and most of the time my sack is tight. The tight sack will make your hammer look bigger. lol I personnaly couldn't care about how my sack looks, I feel great and since starting on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and would not...

I can't answer your Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) question, I'm on a testosterone only protocol. The atrophy I experienced is very minor and I'm done having kids.

See above in bold

Cal, Here's the way I see your situation. You are currently on gel and it hasn't improved your symptoms and has raised your DHT levels. IMO, you can triple the amount and it won't matter. Your E2 levels look great and you don't need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). If you take an Aromatase...

Bob, Your total testosterone levels look good. Is this the only test you got done? You should get a complete panel done with the following: Total Testosterone Bioavailable Testosterone (AKA ***8220;Free and Loosely Bound***8221;) Free Testosterone (if Bioavailable T is unavailable) SHBG DHT...

I like others here, 1" 25g pins. I did my quads exclusively for the last 2 yrs with no real problem. I play a lot of ice hockey and have never had any issues. Also, make sure you inject slowly to reduce discomfort afterwards.

Hey Cal, I'm sure that a nurse in a doctors office is more than capable and qualified to inject nebido. My first 3 injections of test were done by a nurse with no problems. Due to the high volume being injected you should ask the nurse to take her time which should minimize any discomfort. I...

Once you get your tsh and test levels in order you will never want to go back to feeling like shit again.

You could be lacking iodine. I wouldn't add iodine to your diet at this point. You should mention it to your endo and see if he is willing to get blood work done to check your levels. Iodine is very strong and if you start adding to could make things worse for your thyroid. I know you have a...

Cal, looking at your posted labs the numbers that stick out are your tsh levels. The optimal tsh level should be in the 1.5-2 range. Your results are all around 4 which would indicate you are hypo-thyroidal, which will give the same symptoms as low test. This will also shut down your test...

Cal, What blood work have you had done prior to and since starting trt? Did the endo check your thyroid levels? Hypothyroidism can cause hypogonadism. If you have any blood work results, post them with the ranges and it may help identify something that the doctor doesn't see as a problem.

Cal, You need to relax man. I'm also a very skinny guy and I inject in my quad muscle with no issues to date (3 yrs). You need to get away from the gels they work for some but not all. If you have access to nebido, I would personnally give that a try as the longer ester only requires an...

Methos, Your protocol is not a typical testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose, you are are estentially cycling. A normal dose is 100-200mg/ week test and ususally there is no Deca involved. It's no wonder all your levels are elevated.
