Just some quick info about me. I'm 27 and started my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at 26 when I went in to my doc's for having no libido and zero energy. Blood tests came back at 189 total test, so he started me on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with 200 mg/week of Test Cyp and 2 tubes of Testim daily. Does this sound like a good plan for success or a path to disaster? I've been on it for over 6 months now and I must say I feel much better with lots of energy and good libido. I'm even gaining back some of the muscle mass I lost when my test went low and I had no want to even hit the gym anymore. Also, are there any sides I should be looking for or having my doc test for. Like maybe my DHT levels going insane or anything else? Any help is greatly appreciated.

200mg/week plus 2 tubes of testim daily could potentially elevate estrogen too high without an aromatase inhibitor. I would get a lab test done showing your estrogen level a day or two past injection and after u apply the cream. The gel is fast acting and converts more to estrogen than injections. I don't personally like gel for that reason.

Some people have higher estrogen levels than others so it is hard to tell what you could get away with without an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) without seeing bloodwork. I would just drop the gel altogether and get on with a proper testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) consultant to monitor the entire picture and make the appropriate actions your doc most likely won't make. Your T levels are probably extremely high on that dose, which means high estrogen guaranteed that over time will reverse the benefits of that protocol. I am not a fan of gel at all due to its high estrogen conversion.

Why so much/both gel and cyp?
I was on a lower dosage a while about. About 175 mg per week of cyp and 2 tubes. Bloodwork came back in December that my total test was 452 on both. Labs were taken at the end of the week just before my next injection. Doc said at 27 I should be higher than 452, so he bumped me to a full mL which is 200 mg.
