OK I have to admit I needed to look up supraphysiological. I'm 40 yo and after struggling for years with no energy, depression, no libidio, no ability to focus on work, really no joy out of life, and finally ED my doc had a ton of blood work tests done which included thyroid and testosterone...

I've been on TRT now for about 5 months. I've noticed I had gained weight but my face hadn't looked puffy and my belt loops haven't gone up like it has when putting on weight in the past, so I hadn't paid two much attention. Checked my %BF and a couple of calculations later realized that...

Got retested early because I didn't think that the AI had pulled down my E2 all the way. Bloat had gone away but was still experiencing some ED. Things have actually improved a bit since then, maybe my body still adjusting. Energy is good. mental clarity is good. Mood is still a bit all...

Clomid was kept the same. The AI was Anastrozole .25mg 3x per week

You're young too, HCG preserves fertility so if you are thinking/planning on having kids you'll want this.

Been on the 200mg/wk dosage with the AI for coming up on 2 weeks now. Bloat and weight gain wetn away almost immediately, feeling the energy, libido, morning wood, and mood all coming back. Haven't quite felt like I did before things went downhill, but its getting there. I'm scheduled to get...

*sigh* I was afraid the answer was going to be something like that. Thanks for the quick and thorough reply.

MY Dr has added an aromatase inhibitor to what I am taking because after the first few weeks on TRT the benefits I was seeing began to disappear. My 45 day blood work showed my estradiol to be high. So my question to anyone who has gone through a similar experience is about how long should I...

Does anyone have any info on what the optimum free-t level is?

So I got my labs back from the 45 day retest Previously when I was tested in early Dec my numbers were: Total T: 220 (250-1100ng/dl) Free T: 34.2 (46-224pg/ml) Bioavailable T: 73.3 (110-575ng/dl) T3: 3.2 (2.3-4.3pg/dl) SHBG: 24 (10-50nmol/L) ICF: 116 (52-328ng/ml) DHEA: 478 (45-345mcg/dl) LH...

If you have your blood tested right before you are due for your next T injection the amount of T in your blood is theoretically going to be its lowest. Is there a way to estimate what it would be at its highest? Just curious what the range my T goes through.

Yep the combo is to keep everything functioning. By PMS'ing I assume you mean it makes you have emotional swings? So far none of that. Emotions have been pretty stable. Don't think I've noticed any emotional changes so far.

Xman, I haven't heard of any mental side effects...what would I expect if I were getting them. Anyways, little over one week in. So far only definitive difference is with erections. Yeah definite improvement there. Think my girlfriend is very happy. Morning wood like I haven't had since 20's...

Just starting TRT and the doc has me doing both Test-C and HCG injections both twice a week. He said to just do them at the same time, but it seems that I've seen posts suggesting that it works better if the HCG is offset by a couple of days from the T injection. Any advice?

Yep MA == Massachusetts. I'm doing to shots a week at .5ml of 175mg/ml so that works out to 175mg per week. We will see how it works out. So far one shot in and the only noticeable effect is a sore butt :) Not bad doing the actual shot though, I thought it would be wierder to actually...
