Doing the TRT thing
TRT Round 2
So after QUITTING testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) a few months ago... (I don't even know how long it's been... maybe 8 or 9 months...) I'm thinking about getting back on TRT.
The original reason I quit was because of acne. I got crazy cystic acne all over my back and it was out of control so I pulled the plug.
My old testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doctor was a quack. I'd like to find a new doctor who talk to me knowledgeably about T, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) protocol, DHT levels, estrogen levels, etc... and help me monitor my bloodwork to get me dialed in.
I believe that was the problem last time. My levels were all over the place and my doc. was an assclown. His testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) protocol was: Inject 400mg Test Cyp every 2 weeks.
That's it.
No Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), No Anti-E, and no bloodwork.
The guy was a jackass.
I ended up getting the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and Anti-E overseas and self-medicating using the knowledge I gathered online and on this forum and I went and got my own blood tests.
But like I said, I failed because I broke out with crazy acne.
I'm sure it was one of 3 things:
I'd love to have Chip help me out but I'm only 26 and last time I spoke to him he only works with men 35+ I believe it is.
I'm getting bloodwork done next week to see where I stand and I'll post the results.
Very curious to see where my levels are now after quitting TRT.
Pre-TRT my levels were 350 Total T.
On testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) my levels were 1,200 Total T.
I wouldn't be surprised if I dipped into the 200's now that I'm off, but we'll see.
When I came off testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I did a post cycle therapy (pct) protocol I found online that included Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), Novadex, Aromatasin, saw palmetto, vitamin E...
But of course feel like complete shit at this point in my life. No energy, no motivation, fatigue...
BUT... I've ALWAYS had a crazy libido and I bust a nut daily. So I don't know where that libido comes from but I have no problem there.
I really hate the idea of being dependent on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for the rest of my life. It's just so high-maintenance.
...But it's my last resort I guess.
Like I said I'll see what my numbers are next week and go from there.
I'll keep you posted.
