[Delsin65]

Hello everyone,
I would like to know what you think about my protocol:
I received my Testosterone in a bottle of 200mg/mL.
I also received some hCG.
I am 27, I have low body fat, I follow a diet, I don't drink or smoke and I go to the gym 5 times a week.

I have 500 IU of hCG and 100mg of Testosterone Enanthate per week.
I split the dose for monday and friday.

Monday: 0.3 mL of T. E. and 0.5 mL of hCG.
Friday: 0.2 mL of T. E. and 0.5 mL of hCG.

please share your stats and why are you getting on trt to begin with?

 

[Slhardee]

Are you self prescribing or is this from a doctor?

What are your labs, LH and FSH? I and confused on the reference ranges you posted.

Are you Hypogonadal or do you just feel like crap and think you are?

 

[Mycelium]

Sex binding globulin at 979 ng/dL? That seems huge. Itbalways seems TT is the only thing that high.

 

[Delsin65]

This is from a doctor. I have always felt like shit all my life and unfortunately, this is hypogonadism. I was trying everything without success until I used a testosterone booster back in august. I won't say the name so I won't get banned but it slowed down my SHBG levels.

Mycellum, you are scaring me, I hope that my TRT won't increase my SHBG if it is already very high! I wanted an AI but the doctor told me try without it for a month, knowing that 100mg a week of T is a small dose.

 

[Delsin65]

I edited my introduction so it could help you. Thanks.

 

[Delsin65]

You are scarring me. I hope that a TRT without AI won't increase my SHBG levels. I now it seems very high... and I'm only 27 years old.
My doctor told me to try the TRT without AI because 100 mg of T is still a small dose.

 

[Delsin65]

I am sorry I posted what I received from a lab in Canada. I went to a doctor a few months ago in order to know my T levels. This is the only thing they gave me. It seems I was unable to get everything like LH and FSH for example.

I have always felt like crap all my life and unfortunately this hypogonadism. My T levels are low compared to my way of life, diet and age. And I felt so much better once I tried a T booster back in august. This is when I realized that E2 or SHBG was the problem.

My TRT is done with a doctor. Thanks.

Don't be scared, go with the flow with your doc's recommendations. Only thing I'd change is make both injections 0.25ml, no point in one at .30 and one at 0.20.

I think you will have to wait at least three months to let your test levels even out, and to see where that puts your SHBG and E2. I wouldn't sweat the no AI, at 100 mg/wk if you need any at all it will be a low dose.

Any lastly, you are taking a lot of your protein in the form of powder and BCAA's. I love my whey protein shakes, but I try to be cautious how I use them. If you take it on an empty stomach it will pass through your small intestine so fast that you only absorb about 20% or less. I always try to take it with something solid to slow it down. And 10g BCAA's seems like a lot, like double what I would take. So my advice here is eat more real food like meats, less shakes. And when you use the shakes take them with something else solid.
