If I were you, I'd start it now! You really have nothing to lose. At most -- you'd speed up your hairloss, but you could easily control that with Propecia. I'm only 23, but I started HRT with levels like yours (I'm in the 300's naturally.)

Yeah, I've done that for a while now, but the sex drive never came back. I've never done steroids. I'm about 6 feet and 165lbs.

I've had multiple head injuries as well. Only two. The first was when I was a toddler, a fall off of a supermarket shopping cart onto the tile floor. The second was in gradeschool, a fall down two flights of stairs -- but, not down the stairs, straight off the railing and onto the concrete...

Carth-- Yeah! My doctor says the E is from the sky high level of DHEA. I have no goddamn idea how DHEA got that high. I never supplemented with it. And yes, there are more than one "kind" of E. Estradiol, estriol, and estrone are the main players. But seriously, how do I kill whatever is...

I started at 19!!

I would stay away from the gel if I were you. I've been doing TRT for years now. I started when I was 21, and I've been browsing releated boards for even longer than I've been on TRT. 75% of the guys I talk to skip to injectibles because they don't feel better on the gel even though it...

Yes, I "feel like shit, too" Aside from emotional disturbances and lethargy: I have absolutely no sex drive. Not only is the urge gone, but erections are only possible via manual stimulation, and they're weak and don't last long. Moreover, my hair is thinning rapidly. Not MPB, but all over...

I just got the results of a blood test back. I'm on HRT, which includes injectible testosterone and an anti-estrogen. [60mg T-Cyp EW, 250iu HCG 2x/WK, .25mg Arimidex EOD] When I got my labs back -- T was slightly above normal, which is okay, but total estrogens were too high! Turns out...

Your T levels are NOT normal! Listen, I've had his problem, except my levels were in the 300's. Now, I had NO sex drive, was UNABLE to build musle, and felt like SHIT. I: - ate a PERFECT diet, kept logs of all calories/fats/protien/etc. - took in about 4,000 calories a day (with the goal...

Nah, I'm serious here. I have been on test for over a year. It does NOTHING. And there's no cycle here anymore, my libido has been gone for years.

I ate perfectly -- 6 meals a day, 4000 calorie diet AND busted my ass under guidance of the police academy trainers as well as a professional builder that lived nearby. I didn't gain a thing.

I've tried all that herbal crap and it didn't work for me at age 23. I say, stick with plain old exogenous testosterone.

I don't like statements like "you are already up to your ears in testosterone." How can an author like you dare to speak in absolutes? It's that kind of talk that was infuriating to hear when I discovered that at around age 18, I had LESS testosterone than you, yap1993, have at age 58...

Alwayson -- that's a suggestion I've never heard. How does one test for or alleviate such a problem?

Alright, I just FINALLY got information about where my Estrogen level should be, and I am certainly not there. So, I will continue to take Arimidex, and lower teststerone to 75mg/wk, and see what happens.
