Hello all,
i am a 33yrs male thats married with a 21 month old son and great job. Things started changing very rapidly around 30, A few months ago i went to a friends office thats a doctor with his own practice to talk about a couple prescriptions im on and the fact that ive lost all interest in sex. Thats rough when your maried. I went their thinking hes probably just gona give me some smiling bob pill. He explained to me this is becoming a very common thing with my age group. He then asked if he could check my test levels. WELL results 123. The more ive researched this i know their are some other #s i need to watch too, He gave me 300m every shot of test cypionate, i felt it almost instantly. We tried this every 2 weeks but about day 9 i would crash. so he said if you can handle this yourself we will try 200ml every week. its benn about 6 weeks and i feel great. I was 6'1 195lbs and putting on weight in all the wrong places. 6 weeks later im 6'1 maaby alittle taler and 218lbs and working out again with a good plan like i had done for years.
is it true a mans body shuts down all test production after a couple months on TRT?
I sometimes get water retention on my right ankle , but dosnt last too long.
The doctor is a good friend of mind too, he's really an emergancy med doc that does some endocriology too. Im very excited about the way i feel and the huge changes that have already taken place. I know i need to be careful with cypionate. but what can i stack to help cutting up alittle more.
If your buddy was a doc whbat would u ask for. Reasonable. i like the deca durbin or what ever he calls it i get when im sick. Is test Cypionate the best choice for trt. seeing the results sure will motivate ya. im new at this so please leave comments. My doc said those guys probably know more than i do about it. THANKS FOR READING .

i would suggest checking ur E2 and ur SHBG levels first then ask for an AI like aromasin , ur estro maybe a bit high if u feel have some water retention, u'll cut up fast on it, start with a low dose first to experiment it and go up gradually if needed, start with 12.5mg (half a tab) e3d and do a follow up blood test to check if ur estro is stable in the lower normal range after 2 months, don't over do it u'll dry up to much and ur joints will start aching as it will suppress ur immune system ur moods and sexual desire will fade too, after all u need some estro in ur system. and another thing it will lower SHBG so u'll free up more test for anabolism and u'll feel like u increased the dose , more androgen in u.

u can add 50-100mg deca for life no problem above ur HRT dose of test, for joint support (increase synovial fluids) , collagen synthesis and improve ur immune system.

stabilize ur bloods first (hormones level, cbc, lipids....) know the right dose of test, deca, AI and maybe HCG (for minimal testicular functioning) stay for a while on ur decided regimen then u can do some blast cycles later.

and btw yes when u start HRT u'll be totally suppressed in a couple of months, ask for HCG too u never know when u may need to stop hrt later and try to recover, maybe u wanna conceive later on (even if not fully recovered) and go back to hrt, HCG keeps ur testicles functioning (250iu x 2/w)

good luck.

Going back to see him in a couple weeks, for follow up tests. Im going to show him my post and your replies. Remember he ownes an emergency care clinic. So he deals w/ a bit of everything. He does not specialized endo doc but a couple of his buddies are. Can you please reply on what test I need, what I really need to pay attention to. He is a friend so I can get the benefit package. But I want to be SAFE.
SAFE, SAFE

Went to doc today and took your advice X-MAN. Got a script for aromasin 25mg. I belive you recommend 1/2 tab every 3rd day. Is that correct? I can get as much cypionate as I want. Picked up another bottle of cypionate today 2,000mg/10mL (200mg/ mL) Watson. Is their another pharmaceutical brand you would prefer? Im only injecting 1ml a week. I told my doctor (which is a friend) that I've bumped it up to 300mg / 1.5ml the last couple weeks and feel thats where I need to be. I seem to feel alot better with 1.5ml. Would you still recommend the same ammount of aromasin? 1/2 tab every 3 rd day?. He wasn't real interested in giving me deca like I would have liked. Not gonna do tests untill next visit, then he said he could write me alittle deca depending on results. You know how insurance companys are. I pay $7.00 for test and $5.00 for box of 100 needles don't want to mess that up. I don't remember if u said your on trt but if so what gear does your doc give you? Just curious if there's something better for trt I should look into injectables of course. From what I understand cypionate, ethanate and prop are most prescribed. Im seeing very good gains and strength. Gained about 30lbs but waist line has really gone down. Just bought some equipment from HOIST im very excited about the results , just hate acne and the occasional puffiness in face. What should
to expect from Aromasin . Thanks Yall

yes i said aromasin 12.5mg (half tab) e3d as a start or eod in case u wanna bump ur test dose , u may even take more if E2 shows high on ur next bloods or stop it for a while if E2 is very low, only blood tests can confirm that and everybody is different u need to experiment and learn about ur body, that's y u need to start always with the minimum recommended dose for test and aromasin , so i think better to stick with 200mg test and 12.5mg a-sin e3d for a start and wait a couple of months until ur next check up , don't rush things just bear with it.

about the brands , i dunno the local brands u have in the states , i live in the mid east and our pharmaceuticals mostly comes from europe (organon , schering) i usually use testoviron depot (schering) for my HRT regimen , it's an enanthate ester, but nowadays i'm cruising with prop between cycles from a trusted UG lab cuz i'm only doing test prop blasts (2-4 weeks blast) with a little amount of deca for joint support.

what to expect from aromasin , is less water retention and fat deposit , u can notice it from ur face ur belly ur whole body becomes more defined, as it'll regulates ur mood in case u have high estro. if u feel not benefiting from it that much after a month or so bump it to eod, but at the end ur blood tests will decide what's ur ideal dose.

if u want to start deca too , don't do more than 100mg with ur 200mg test, here u may start aromasin at 12.5mg eod from the beginning.
