Please do that, because hypothyroidism is a progressive disease which can fuck up your other values such as your cortisol, iron, vitamins and etc. And high TRT dose will not make it better, might actually make it worse.

I was on rits as a kid. My mom took me off since she was scared of development issues.
When in the TRT process would you work on Thyroid? I recently moved to a dailies protocol, but my TSH is always over 3 while on TRT. Currently letting the dailies T Cyp sync to my system as it’s only been a few weeks.
As soon as possible.
No. Get your TRT working and once you’ve been on that working protocol for a while then mess with thyroid. Otherwise you’ll have issues getting either dialed in. Thyroid is complicated enough without having to adjust two protocols at the same time.
Alright this is what I was planning. When should I get bloodwork after changing protocols? At 8 weeks?
Yes 8 weeks is good
How can you get your TRT to work if both hypo and hyperthyroidism prevent you from doing so?
The best you can. The best way to never get dialed in is to try to do both at once.

@meisterxx97 I think @dextermorgan is referring to giving a protocol enough time to sync up with the body. After that work on different sub-optimal hormones like thyroid.

Affirmative
Its very common. Test e2, if its high, lower it, and u will feel better.
Is this true that E2 drops at night and raises during the day? Or that mechanism is no longer at use when it comes to exogenous testosterone? Because I notice an interesting pattern in my behaviour and mood.
I don’t know, but from what I hear, they usually tell their patients they are “low, but within the lower end of the normal range” and therefore, do not need testosterone.
While I think most of them actually believe that, I think some would go ahead and prescribe it if they thought insurance would cover the cost.
Based on what I know, most doctors do not want to hear about what their patients read on the internet.
Good luck going forward. I think your best bet is to find a local doctor or practice specializing in hormone restoration. If you cannot, then the telemedicine route or underground sourcing will be your only alternatives. Most telemedicine doctors will require you to go for a face to face consultation and examination before starting. After that, they can manage your case remotely.
