Been on TRT for 5 Weeks and I'm Very Worried

The OP estrogen was 13 pg/mL pre-TRT, which is low and his prolactin was high.

The prolactin needs treatment.

My doc won’t prescribe me if my prolactin goes up/after 4 weeks only if it goes down on a split dose

I don’t understand your doctor, it doesn’t make any sense. Your doctor is on drugs or something.

He said my estrogen hasn’t raised up too much and isn’t worrying but recommended to split the dose and half the HCG dose, then In 4 weeks do a blood, If its gone up he said more investigations, if its states same or goes down he will give me caber… Sound right?

Brilliant

Sorry charlie ive read this whole back and forth and he hasn’t come across as arrogant but lenono has. Those who you defended as being attacked by increasemyt also very much came across as arrogant. The attack also went the other way not him attacking them.i dont care if yeti is the best doctor in the world he has god complex and i would never let him treat me.

I don’t praise yeti. Or anyone else. I take everyone’s input and inform myself.

I just don’t like when someone thinks they have expert status and reject other opinions. No one in here shares credentials so it’s all opinions and experiences.

OP is in a difficult situation I understand. And he’s going underground to medicate himself. Ops drs is right to not prescribe without diagnosing. Heck he was even told by increasemyt you really don’t need an mri any more??? Wtf. His high prolactin can be caused by numerous things as was posted. But he insists it’s from a prolactin secreting tumor! What if he has a tumor that is not benign?? It could happen.

Wow. You are brilliant. Stat. Lmao.
How do u dx this. You have your rationale which you stated BUT you know there are other rationales that it can be something else.

Bad advice. But this is a forum so you can do this. Poster should realize that these are random people responding and take info with a grain of salt.

You certainly are informative with many other posts but others should be able to state what they think without your demeaning remarks. Which is exactly how dbossa arrived on this forum. So I guess your shit don’t smell.

Wow the bro science here is ridiculous.

Stop focusing on the damn estrogen. There is no point in any suggestions without taking NMR. The chance to have micro adenoma is extrenely high.

Also if he is estrogen dominant this is caused by some health issue and just taking nmr is stupid

Guys thank you for all the advice, I have taken and read it very carefully in regards to a MRI, I will get one done in 2 months as its too expensive now for me.

I’m refused medication for this as my doctor doesn’t want to mask a possible tumor but what has been stated here caber will only make my proc go down/shrink the tumor which is what I want? So I’m confused to his reasoning. I’ve bought and intend to use pharma caber from something I’ve bought online, my reasoninf to this is I’m going on holiday with my girlfriend in 4 weeks and even touching her now I struggle MASSIVELY to get a hard on even after I probably have way higher then natural test levels currently?

My question is, I have arimidex/nolva and caber, how should I intend to use these drugs? Caber will be used 2 times a week at 0.25, nolva will be used 20 or 40mg EOD and arimidex I’m not too sure, obviously these arnt prescribed and I don’t want to be effecting with my current doctor but I need a solution now as this is seriously effecting me and soon my partner. Thank you

It’s possible your too high.

Anyway have u tried cialis/viagra? Use it temporarily while on holiday. If u are going to have sex often I would take daily 5mg cialis. This will limit any sides from medication since you are not taking 20 mg at once.

I did not state that it could be something else, I said that if it is something else you still have the same issue, PRL is high.

I also noted, from the literature you guys provided, the extremely high probability of it being a micro-prolactinoma.

His PRL is high, a dopamine agonist brings PRL down, this is not rocket science.

I really don’t want to rely on viagra… Could I do what I stated above and give it 3 weeks? I also have a MRI booked in for Tuesday

I don’t agree starting all that medication at once.

I am just commenting on your dick issue. It’s ok to use viagra / cialis temporarily. You need to have sex! You will not become dependent on it. You have a special holiday coming up and you want to perform. You will already be nervous with all this crap going on.

If u use viagra instead and you can get hard for masterbation then I would use only 25 mg viagra. Even if you have to take 1 a day. Even with the short half life you should be fine if y can get hard masterbating. So you don’t have to worry about taking it right before sex.

If u can’t get hard masterbating u will need more.

Any protocol you start it will take weeks before you stabilize and get reliable elections.

I take 5 mg cialis daily. When your hormones are set your dick will be hard all night. I know from experience and am 42

I can get a erection from masterbation but yeah found it very hard when touching boobs (favourite part :sweat_smile:) to get a erection, was quite worrying for me… I know there has been a lot of back and forth on this thread but to get one thing clear, if my test dose lowers does my prolactin? As it only raised on test

I don’t know how anyone could get an erection with a PRL that high, and if they actually managed to do it not sure it would hold.

Those are the type of symptoms you get with high PRL. It fades in and out even if you get it to work, and it is super hard to ejaculate.

Soon after, if PRL continues climbing, you can get lactation. Don’t listen to anyone on this man, I have seen it many many times over the last 10 years. Find a doc that knows what they are talking about and get them to prescribe you a dopamine agonist. It is not going to get better until your PRL goes down.

To add. You’re nips are not going to just lactate, you are going to have to squeeze them really hard, and it will be a clear fluid, like colostrum. You are turning into a pregnant woman at this point.

PRL gyno is not something to mess with, once it flares up your going to have a heck of a time getting it to come down.

Combine that with your pubescent gyno and you’re playing with fire. This is a glaring red flag in your medical history.

Once you get gyno it doesn’t just go away. That tissue will always be there. You could literally be giving yourself breast cancer.

Hyperprolactinemia

You can take small doses of cialis.
Its not harmful at all, even on the contrary. Many people use it as anti-aging drug and the studies clearly point at that direction.

Its long term healthy for your cardiovascular system and your dick. But its expensive

My levels are higher and I have no issues getting an erection. However, my E2 isn’t out of range.

I thought your group went by the notion that anastrozole is not necessary and that wildly high E2 is perfectly ok? I thought anastrozole gave everyone cholesterol problems?

So are you suggesting it is the high E2 that is giving the op issues contradictory to your groups philosophy? Or are you arguing that it only gives you symptoms when they are both high?
