[svtmassa]

Hi everyone,
Long story short I started TRT after my blood test came back at 57(300-1100) range.
Protocol is
200mg test cyp week 1 shot
arimidex .5mg wednesay and saturday
hcg .25 iu wed and sat

This blood test is on the morning of the seventh day between shots. Absolute lowest levels in my hormone levels.
I am happy with the results however thought my "free test would be higher"? Please review and let me know what you guys think
Thanks

Looks like its working well for you. Id seriously consider getting in and start donating whole blood on a regular basis. Your RBC is already elevated.

 

[svtmassa]

ok thanks for the reply how often should i donate to abate the high count?

 

[Zyglamail]

Whole blood you can do every 56 days usually. Id do it as often as you can.

 

[svtmassa]

another question if you will.
I would like to eliminate the hcg and arimidex from my protocol completely. I have since split my single 200 mg per week shot into two 100mg shots spaced evenly. Judging by my e2 lab or only 17 I was thinking if I eliminate the hcg I can also eliminate my arimidex and just take the two test shots per week. I know lab work will tell but does anyone think this is reasonable?

Why do you want to drop the HCG? Fond of tiny balls?

 

[ceo]

Who cares about your balls? The older you get the more they sag and get in the way anyway. Might as well shrivel them up so they stay up.

 

[Zyglamail]

You would be surprised how much a little adex can do. I would bet you could lower dose but I dont think you will want to do away with it entirely. You would have to stop using it and get labs to see.

As for the HCG it DOES increase test levels, even when on TRT, so if you drop HCG you are likely going to have lower T levels as well as tiny balls, just something to consider.

 

[ceo]

just up the dose!

some good suggestions here, as far as the hcg is concerned im not sure if its the hcg or the arimnidex that causes me to be a moody bitch a coupe days after administration. Does anyone else have this problem or could shed some light. I may continue as planned however drop the arimidex to .25 twice weekly. The hcg I get from an online clinic that charges me an arm and a leg. The test is from my doctor. I was debating when this hcg bottle runs out droppping it. I am interested to hear some more opinions. Thanks!
