Low Testosterone after TESE surgery. Best way to get back to normal levels?

[Yamahaar190]

Testosterone was 408 before TESE (testicular sperm extraction) surgery. After surgery my test is 165. TESE is the process of splitting open both testicles and extracting sperm right from the factory, then sewing testicles back together. Had some complications (infection in right testicle) and there is damage to the testicles. Now I need TRT to feel normal again. MD has me over 3 months out for next visit to see what test and how much to take. 3 months is way too long when you feel like crap, no libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, no energy. Im looking to do 200mg every 2 weeks to get my numbers to 800. Does 200mg seem realistic to accomplish this? (TESE was done due to azoospermia)
Me: 217 lbs, 5'11", 51 yo, active weight lifting and cardio, eat healthy: clean foods, occasional burger or steak.
Meds: 25mg Clomid everyday, .5mg Arimidex EOD.
Any help would be great

200mgs every 2 weeks is 100mgs per week
that is a smart dose for TRT.

you are a prime example of the people who SHOULD be doing TRT. you had a medical issue that caused damage to your testes. you aren't one of those people who just want to run TRT to be cool or cause they 'dont feel good' or cause they were stupid and used steroids when they had no business

The dose per week is fine but i would prob do weekly injections instead of every 2 weeks.

impossible to say based upon the surgery you encountered... there is no way to know how your body will react and metabolize it... this is something i would be discussing with a professional endocrinologist that is well versed on this type of surgery and the effects it will have on your testosterone production...
