Hi there,
I am 28 years old and found out last year that I had low T. I have been suffering with anxiety and depression and just feeling out of it for the last several years... probably since I was about 14. I figured it would just from the anxiety and depression, but it got to the point that I was so miserable so the doctor did a full panel and noticed my T was on the low end of normal (207 on a 200 scale total T).
Anyways, long story short, I went to the Low T Center last year and started TRT and was consistently taking 140 to 160 mgs once a week with 250iu of HCG x2 a week. I was also taking .25mg of the AI as well (I think it was called Andrasole).
I never felt better on TRT so I stopped and did clomid EOD at 50mg for awhile and saw if my T level would come back up naturally.. it seemed to help but as soon as I stopped taking it, I was back at square one. I went and had my testicles checked by ultrasound for variciles and there was a small one, but the blood flow was the same on both nuts so nothing there.
So I am stuck with having Low T and my family doctor won't help because I am still a few points higher than the "normal low range." I have now started again with TRT and I'm doing it at home now and it is prescribed by a clinic.
So I'm trying to get dialed in here.. I have had problems in the past with Hematocrit being too high and I would rather try to keep that as low as possible so the lower the T dose, the better in my eyes.
I have started out 4 weeks ago with 80mg of Test Cyp x2 a week Tuesday and Friday.
HCG x2 a week at 500iu on Monday and Thursday.
No AI
I started off feeling a little better, but now I am back to being very tired, confused (out of it), a lot of anxiety, etc.. but I'm able to get erections just fine, etc.
Did I start too high on this protocol? My clinic said that this was a "low" dose compared to a lot of patients, but I feel like the HCG is too high and also the T is too high. I really want to get dialed in this time and will listen to any advice that you can give me.
Also, I feel really bloated, but don't seem to have any nipple sensitivity or anything like that so I'm not sure if I need an AI or not. Last time I needed an AI according to the clinic, but this new clinic says that with this low of dose, I don't want to crush E2 so they said not to do an AI until I get bloodwork in a few weeks.
