Hrt

[MRNJ1992]

In my fourth or fifth week of HRT. Starting weight of 198. Now at 211. Feel alittle better, alot stronger but adding some mid bodyfat. Not happy with that at all....My training is more intense and diet pretty much the same as before the HRT. I eat a good diet. High in protein, moderate carbs and keep my fats low. My protocol is TEST E 2times a week at 60 mgs and HCG 2 times a week the day prior of my TEST... My thyroid dose was recently lowered. Maybe this is the cause. I certainly dont want to be on HRT to look worse. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Are you on eltroxin (or equivalent)?

What was your dosage, and what is it now? How long ago did your dosage change ?

Post your most recent bloodwork with ranges.

Thyroid could very well be your issue...usually is for guys over 40.

Keep an eye out for elevated E2...know the symptoms?

Ok.

Get Thyroxine levels in order and androgen sex hormones should fall in line.

Keep us updated on next round of BW in this thread.

That's a huge drop in dosage. I've been on synthroid for over 20 years now and my biggest change has been by .025 and that includes when dieting for stage.
I would get my thyroid retested.
Make sure your watching for the usual side effects such as depression, intolerance to cold/heat, and of course weight gain.

I've actually had better results going from synthriod to armour thyriod.......Just a thought.

Did your doctor say why such a drastic drop in dosage?

was on armour thyroid a few years back and then couldnt get it anymore...forget the reasoning...I see its back again...If I remember correctly I did feel better with it......
