Hi Guys,
I’m 29 years old and was diagnosed with Secondary Hypogonadism almost 5 years ago. The cause I believe was abusing drugs(pain pills, benzos, marijuana, meth) during my teenage years while going through puberty. I also experimented with Dianobol and prohormones also. Here is a background on my treatment. I was put on Test Cypionate 300mg every two weeks and I was on that treatment for about a year and half.
Then my wife wanted to have a baby so my doctor took me off of testosterone completely and put me on 1 mg a day of Anastrozole. I did notice side effects in the beginning like joint pain especially in my hands and that went away after some time. I was on the Anastrozole for four months then my wife got pregnant and now we have a beautiful little girl. Here are my questions.
My doctor seems to want me on long term treatment by anastrozole but I really dont want premature osteoporosis AND it killed my libido but it did make my body produce T, FT, FSH, LH like a champ. On testosterone I feel absolutely amazing. I have recently stared the T again after tappering off azole for two months and crashing really bad(was hoping everything would go back to normal)but it didnt. I started with a shot of 200mg and felt nothing after a week. Then I did a 400mg shot and have continued 200mg a week split into two doses. I am adding HCG and need to know if I should lower the T dose to compensate.
Please help I know this is long but I need answers
read the stickies. Everything you need to know about a proper protocol and testing is in there.
200mg is a little high for TRT. Cut it to 150mg a week or less. Blast and cruise if you want. Keep HCG to a minimum and test E2 before you go crazy with the Adex.

Sorry. … what does blast and cruise mean
Anastrozole is actually a very bad option for fertility, and as you note, the side effects are dangerous especially long term. It is absolutely not a standard of care. Clomiphene would have been a healthier option for fertility.
Anastrozole is also absolutely not a standard of care for hypogonadism either.
For secondary hypo you can do direct TRT if you like, but either clomiphene or HCG may also work for secondary hypo, so you have some options.

As for now I am going to try Test Cyp with HCG and Adex to keep E2 in check.
After a while I want to try a restart and see if I can go without anything.
