Been on trt for 12 years now. Age 39. Before trt my test count from multiple tests was at 110 and 117. Hypogonadal. I do 100mg e6d. While it’s helped I’ve never felt close to 100%. My total t over the years rests between 450-650, 450 is after a draw happens day 4-6 from shot Higher number is maybe day 2-3. Estradiol after a year of being on Trt was 33 now is 47-52.
I did do hcg for a year for fertility and felt no benefit from it. Was given letrozole once but that was a bad idea.
Have went to private docs and and the va and stuck with the va. They treat to 5-600 total t and don’t worry about e unless it breaks some 5-1 or 3-1 ratio of t to e.
I guess where I am at is this. I have some old clomid stashed away and could try a restart but at this point it would be fruitless. I get enough test to do up to 200mg per week. But am afraid my e will raise further and my hct as it is hovers around the high end.
While I could improve lifestyles choices for weight and such and I have, run do CrossFit diet appropriately etc. I can only get down to half where I want to be and it takes some starving etc. while I don’t have gyno in man boobs and such I do feel cloudy at times and just blah.
And the other part is I’m just tired of jamming a needle in my A$$ weekly and everything that goes along with it for something that maybe puts me feeling 70% and I know I can’t stop what I am doing. I have looked at testopel and maybe doing that maybe I will get an even approach and even if I feel the same as I do know I can stop with the injection mess. Yes tried creams and patches once and they actually made my numbers go south
Any thoughts
