Basic TRT Overview

What Hormone Levels Should be Expected for given Testosterone Dosages?

Guys always ask what a given Testosterone Dosage should result in for Total Testosterone levels. Here is some information. Please note that they didn't track estradiol so we don't have that piece of important information. Some of the Test probably aromatized into estrogen. Here is a study showing Testosterone dose-response relationships in healthy young men. For those of you who just want the conclusion, 125mg per week put guys at 570ng/dl +/- 75ng/dl.

Can you get off the pain meds? That would be ideal.

"Test Boosters" don't work. However, Clomid or AI Monotherapy may be an option for you if you are Secondary.

You should discuss going on TRT with your doctor if there is no hope of ever getting off pain medications. Halfwit has had personal experience with pain meds -- maybe he can provide some advice

I just thought of something... Could you simultaneously run TRT + HCG for a few months, then hop off with nolva and/or clomid for a month, and come back to normal/higher TT levels?

In other words run a cycle?

Doubtful that your TT would return to the normal range if you started out hypogonadal.

If you don't want to do TRT, just try an HPTA Restart which would involve possibly using hCG. Clomid and Nolva or just some of them.

Most guys I know run a cycle and exploit TRT to legally exploit the system. I figure if someone was already healthy and wanted to safely do everything that they'd do this and hop off any time they wanted to. But if someone were to go a HPTA restart route, just HCG followed by nolva?

The longer you stay on AAS the longer your HPTA is suppressed which makes recovery less likely.

What is the best and "safe" restart protocol for me? I'm 21 and have 400 ng/dl testosterone.

Guys million dollar question here: is there cases where Someone does not react much with taking Arimidex and has to take double the amount of others? I've been on it for over two weeks and I'm not noticing anything at all. DoIng blood today.

How do you know how you're reacting to it without yet having blood tests to measure your progress?

Recent blood work showed E2 at 55.3 (0.0-39.8)

I've been experiencing high BP, Red face etc. Hgb was 17.1 (14.0-17.1) donated blood started Arimidrex and symptoms remain the same.
