Big thumb's up to Todd and increasemyt, a site sponsor. He's extremely knowledgable and helpful, and took his time to walk me through the process of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

I'm into my 3rd week, at about 160-170mg of test cyp a week, plus 1k HCG week. I have Arimidex, but don't need it, as I'm not bloated.

I had very low total test, and low free test (15% and 12% of low end, respectively), and am feeling much better being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). I actually have a libido now!!!

Good to hear........feels great to have good hormone levels......

Just because you're not bloated does not mean you don't need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). At 160-170mg/week I bet your E2 is higher than you know only a blood test will tell you for sure.. Also, being that you just started three weeks ago you're not going to notice much of anything yet at that test and HCG dosage I would be taking .25mg 2x/week Anastrozole

I'm on 200mg/wk and Im not taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) yet at the recommendation of IMT. We're going to wait and see.

Yea I started out with Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on hand but did not take any till I got my first blood test.....you should be able to know how much to dose from that test how much Aromatase inhibitor (AI) u will need......currently I'm taking .25mg twice a week and is keeping my e2 lvl in the mid 20s on 200mg test cyp weekly

This just isn't true man, not true at all. It is very easy to see effects that quick, as long as you had lowT to begin with......... you don't need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), hell I have been on more than that with no AI

I agree when i started it was almost immegdiate, it took a day or two but it was quick.

well i didn't say you need it 100% I said a blood test is the only true way to know.

I would agree, I think throwing medication at something without first checking is never a good idea. The problem is if you dont test first and throw meds at it you will never know the baseline.

Well Im sorry but I disagree again. Did you know a physician can prescribe testosterone without a blood test? Based on a medical history questionnaire? Obviously we do not do it like that, my point is symptoms are much more important than a blood test.

What you guys don't realize is a blood test is a snapshot of 1 single point in time and honestly doesn't say much about the patient without a thorough blood work history......................... but what do I know I have only been helping 100's of guys longer than most of you have been on TRT

To add:

Scenario:

Patient gets blood test of high estrogen, starts adex and lowers estrogen too much.......... why? If you take a blood sample and send to 3 different labs every single one of them will come back with a different number. So again its not a good idea to rely soley on a blood test, there are numerous variables that any doctor should take into consideration when talking about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for anyone.

Beleive me I am not a beleiver in doing everything off of blood test, because the wrong ones could get ordered and like you said it is one day of many. But When throwing drugs specially hormone type stuff I think having test to at least help or confirm something is important. Also if Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and HCG were a must everybody would be on them from the get go, but it seems as if its on a case by by case basis, so at least for me I will stick with the approach of being more methodical. Like I said if you write up an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and HCH immediately without a test and letting the T work you will never know the baseline and what to work off.

Its the same with anything would you fill an engine up with the full amount of oil right off the bat vs filling it 90% checking the level and adding more as needed?
