I didn’t like the schedule either. I like spontaneous. But we don’t pin the time. I got 3 kids to. 13,13,15. I get complaints I want it all the time. That’s what she says cause her libido low. Sometimes I wonder…
I mean our sex lasts under 10 minutes usually.
Fucking GOLD! Love your style, charlie! LMAO

This is for Cityrat. I can’t logon to respond. Am replying in email. Chris colluci trying to fix.
Can someone please tag him
Every time I took an ai any amount my e2 would go below 10.
I take 85-90 mg a week in 2 injections. Nothing else. No dhea . No ai. No HCG. Just multi, zinc pico, mag, daily Cialis, vit D.
My t is about 650 on day of injection with an average free t.
I just donated blood for the first time. Not for TRT issues, just that my company is supporting the Red Cross. However, I learned that the Red Cross will only accept blood from men with a hemoglobin score less than 20. I was 17.5. I asked the nurse how men could exceed 20 and without hesitation she said TRT. I played dumb. She then went on to say that there has been a significant influx of men attempting to donate for their own therapeutic needs, which apparently you can’t do without a Dr. prescription. I had no idea. With that said, they never asked if I were on T, and apparently will take all blood with a few exclusions. Anyway, if you want to donate through the Red Cross make sure you’re aware of your current levels or else you may be turned away. Hope this helps.
You’d think they’d just take it and shut the fuck up. 
Apparently it’s an iron issue. I find it funny though as you can have prescribes opiates, mmj, basically anything from a doc, but too much iron is a big no no. Careful not to eat too much spinach and red meat…

Just got new labs and thought I’d ask for some insight. First time in a while my labs have come in a little different than I had hoped for. My current protocol is 160mg per week, IM E3.5 days, no AI, and no HCG. Labs were taken at 7:30AM on the morning before my evening injection so everything should be a trough levels.
I did lose the TRT high once I dropped from 200mg to 160mg. I didn’t experience any negative sides, but definitely lost the crazy sex drive, and I’m now back to appropriate sex drive levels. Even though I donated blood, with my hematocrit being high, and E2 starting to creeping up, I suppose I should drop the dose again…maybe slowly work down to 100mg per week. While my IGF-1 is still high, it’s nice to see it fell a few points with the lower dose. Finally, after a few consecutive labs with lower SHBG I may increase my injections to 3x a week and see how I respond. Before I chat with my doc, please let me know if my thinking is correct. Thanks for the help and hope all is well.
When did you drop to 160?
Your hct is why I want to not run high dosages and find the minimum that keeps my free t good.
My igf is slightly elevated too. Less than yours though. I Don’t want to get older and have a higher igf. God for bid I get cancer that igf I believe helps it spread.
If you feel fine what is the problem with your e2?
I’ve been at 160 for the past month.
Regarding hct, I could’ve been dehydrated. I’ve been traveling and I know I’m not drinking enough water. However, its still too high.
Being a cancer survivor high IGF is a concern of mine. However, based on everything I know it appears I simply run high. I’ve never tested GH, maybe need to do that. Don’t know what to do about IGF so I just keep monitoring it.
No problem with E2. Thought it was weird that a drop in dose, and drop in T, resulted in an increase in E2. Didn’t make sense to me. I think my first course of action is to increase injection frequency to 3x a week then reassess.
@physioLojik , would you mind sharing your thoughts on my lab and protocol? I meet with my Dr. this afternoon and want to be as informed as possible. Thanks for your time, and I hope all is well.
How are things going? Your posts are very valuable for me as I just started clomid a week ago.
Sorry for the delayed response. Things are going so well, I find I rarely visit this forum anymore.
I’m a fan of Clomid, and think it can be a perfect solution for a lot of men. I experienced zero side effects, and Clomid worked exactly as advertised. Due to my personal situation I transitioned to injections, but having been on both long enough to stabilize, I can honestly say it’s half of one six dozen of another. The key is you need to give yourself time to stabilize.
One last note. Please listen to your Dr. Listing to, and partnering with, my Dr. has made all the difference in my treatment. I see a lot of guys here that go “a” Dr., not one that they’ve built a relationship with, armed with preconceived notions and bro science from internet forums. They then bash the Dr., or medical entire field for that matter, if the actual trained professional who’s dedicated their life to practicing medicine challenges their internet assumptions.
Case in point. For years many doctors hesitated to prescribe AIs. Those Docs were demonized and deemed to know nothing of male hormones. They’ve been called stupid, idiots, and much worse. Now, those same Docs are hailed as progressive and leaders in the field…all because an influential forum member said so. A big trend that I’m picking up now is the need to avoid blood donations. I’ll just say this, if a cardiologist who presumably knows your personal history, your family history, and has been caring for you due to some cardiac issue requests that you donate blood, it’s probably good advice.
Sorry for the rant, and I’ll get off my soapbox. If there’s anything I can help you with just let me know. I’m happy to share my experience, but I will always point you back to your Dr. Your life is unique, your body is unique, so for TRT to work regardless of creams/injections/Clomid, you need to partner with a Doc to realize the benefits.
