Need some assistance regarding lack of results from TRT pellets.

Long story short was having issues with low energy, fatigue, sex drive issues. Saw a few doctors and finally opted for TRT through the pellet method about 6 months ago.
At my 3 month checkup I was told my t level was about 1000 and this was confirmed through another physician as well. Anyways I am still having the same issues mentioned above, no energy, no morning wood, don't get hard without direct stimulation and that takes a minute and no sex drive. What questions do I need to be asking my doctor? Should I have him look at my estroge levels? Should I ask for HCG or another supplemental drug? No other negative medical history or obvious reason for my symptoms. Let me know if you need further info from me. Thank you very much for any and all input. BTW I am 37 , proper weight and workout consistently. Diet is decent probably drink a bit more than. I need to but not excessive.
 
You need to need to be monitoring your estradiol during treatment.

Most guys on TRT who experience side effects like the ones you've mentioned are either dealing with estradiol levels that are either too high or too low. Usually it's the former.

This^^^^

I would personally demand injections, ai, and HCG or go where you can get them. Been there, done that, got the T shirt blah blah blah. I also like the DHEA
 
Estradiol being too high is the obvious thing to consider first, but if that comes back normal you might do some research into other guys that don't seem to respond well to TRT. A lot of them seem to report having low natural SHBG, though how this keeps them from benefitting isn't exactly clear.

What's your dose and implantation schedule? When was the reading of 1000 obtained relative to when the pellets were implanted?
