Post your HRT protocol....

[Mighty Joe]

I'm going back on HRT. See my Doc on Friday. Just curious as to what doses your Doc's started you on and where you ended up once you gotta it tweaked in?
List age, weight and Total test as well.

Only about 18 mos! But I have done my share of many cycles in the past. I always do Pre/post cycle bloodwork, so I knew where baseline was and thought if I could get there I would stay pin free for a a while. But, now at my age its the lifetime HRT regimine that I'm faced with and I'm so ready to get back as I have watched my Total Test numbers start to drop below what I need to stay in respectable shape!

Here's a link on my program that I posted back in July: http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...48#post****148

I need to do some updates on it, but it's pretty accurate for the moment. Not adding anymore DHEA, and running the pregnenolone on 6 week cycles. Will be implementing it back in starting November.

As far as where I started ... A couple of years ago my GP put me on 5g of Gel, that was it. No E2 monitoring, nothing else. I ended up going with a AA clinic after getting enough stroking between my GP and the looney endo she was having me see.

BTW, after this latest round of BW, bumping it up and the deca is back, baby! I'm going to do a little late fall blast and aim to bulk up 10 or 15lbs.

Thanks Bro...My last go at this I did Cyp 200mgs/10days and broke into a cycle during the TRT. This time a may start at a lower dose and get BW every 6-weeks and try to find my sweet spot quickly since I'll be on for life!!

I posted this in another thread I thought I add it here also.

Age 33
173 lbs
5'9"

Current protocol 50mg clomid ED and 1mg arimidex ED.

when I started my therapy my doctor had me on 50mg Clomid EOD and 0.5mg Arimidex EOD. My test (total) values initially was 220 ng/dl after two months of EOD clomid and Arimidex my blood work result for my test total went up to 440 ng/dl. My doctor then told me to take the 50mg Clomid ED and 1mg (whole tablet) Arimidex EOD. Three months later my blood test result showed my test total at 870 ng/dl which was noted as "High" by labcorp. However, my E2 level also went up from 20 to 43 ng/dl so now my doctor told me take a full tab (1mg) arimdex everyday. And my next labs will be in 6 months (doctor's order) from today. But I will get one done within 3 months just to see. Over all I'm feeling better compare to when I first started my TRT.

this protocol is temporary we're only doing this because we're planning to have a baby some time next year.

Wow! I've heard of HRT Docs prescribing Clomid every 12weeks for 10 days to keep the boys in play, but very interesting that he prescribed it without Test. How are your moods with clomid?? I suspect your age is keeping him from prescribing Test. I have used it for PCT and really couldn't wait to get off of it.
Keep us posted as to your progress, cleary the numbers say its working for you!

Well my mood for the most part has significantly improved but once a week I do get depressed. Actually my doc would've given me test shots but my fiancee and I agreed to try another option until we had a baby. Test shots are available but on "hold" for the time being. In case your wondering what my doc would have prescribed, he would've given me a self-shots at 100mg a week along with clomid or HCG , and arimidex .

My protocol is similar to wecker:

43 / avg 265-275 / 6'0" / BF 15 - 16%

220 mg Test Cyp per week
2 x 250 IU HCG week (day before & day of Test Cyp injection)
3 x .5 mg Arimidex week

Total Test 1489 (BW was done shortly after test cyp injection on 9/20)
Free Test 45.4
E2 49.2 - reason for raising Adex to 3 x week. Skin has become much better since raising the Adex.

I weight train hard min 5 x per week. Feel good & very strong. Sex is on over-drive most of the time. Recently it seems to take a very long time to ejaculate though, as if I'm becoming de-sensitized(sp)? Not to hi-jack, but has anyone experienced anything similar? I'm thinking it's just from having sex with the GF just about every night probably lol. Reality is I'm not 20 anymore I guess...
