I don’t understand why Proviron is prescribed when your protocol is more than sufficient, your weekly dosage is on the higher end, it’s overkill.
You’re even on HCG which should add a little T and E2.

I should lower my dose to 180 test a week divided in two doses, or do EOD for 150 test total a week?. Should I dropped the HCG?. I’m dropping my dose a little
I started off on 100mg twice a week, 250iu HCG twice a week. After a few weeks everything was looking good. Morning wood was back and strong long lasting erections. Then at about the 7 week mark all that faded back to where I was. In my 8th week I switched to 50mg and 150iu HCG EOD. It’s only been a week now. I really hope it all comes back
What is your protocol?
I feel better on twice a week shots
And even better in daily most likely. If it’s not working just go for the most optimal solution rather than dragging jt out.
This is why test without hcg is suggested. It makes dialing in the dose easier. What type of free t and estrogen DHT levels do you get with 200 mg and hcg? Is it high enough to be beneficial?
How long have you been in that protocol? We’re you on any ai? I’m
Estrogen being low is a big reason many guys complain of libido issues. It’s also mental.
What do you feel is not working. Do you feel healthy and positive happy?
I was on 50mg Proviron ED and 50mg test EOD it was good. Then I run out of Proviron and I add 125 IU’S of HCG, I’m having anxiety and terrible ED. I can’t afford Proviron, it cost me 200$ for 50 days, I’m been out of Proviron for 2 weeks and I feel awful sexually, is probably the rebound effect. I did my blood drawn today, I will just follow my TRT provider guidance this time no more listening people on forums or YouTube
You have to have patience. You were on proviron and now you have been off for two weeks. You added hcg. Of course it’s going to cause fluctuations on how you feel.
Anxiety on hormones is common. 90% of the time it’s a common symtom for those who had anxiety before trt.
You gotta get the mind over body going. The body is behaving differently and you are allowing the mind to respond with anxiety.
I had anxiety and was able to stop it with my mentality. I focused on the positive and cleared my mind and entered into “here and now”. Not thinking about tomorrow or when or what.
Get the book power of now from Elkhart Tolley. I think that’s the name. It will do wonders for you.
So many people have anxiety and cure it with strengthening their mental game.
So many folks have this issue because the mind is not built to have all this entertainment, phones, tv , Facebook, instafame and etc…
The hormones simply amplify , but it’s always going to be there if you don’t find a way to crush this.
Thank you. What I learn from being on TRT for over two years is not change protocols all the time, because EOD injections is worst for me than E3d or even once a week. I will ONLY listen my practioner, no more following advices from “experts” like TOT group or Jay Campbell. TRT is a life struggle for me

Yes choose one source and follow. If you trust your doctor you follow and otherwise you make his job harder. I agree.
2 years had no clue. Stick to it and if this doc can’t figure it out let me know.
Taking Proviron was a mistake, since I stopped two weeks ago taking it my ED is worst than ever. Proviron help a lot with erections, but can’t take it long term. Now my erections are worst than before taking Proviron. I’m waiting for my blood results in the meantime I’m bnb raising my test dose from 50 EOD to 60 EOD
I guess “predisposed genetics” would fall under your “etc”.

I am willing to bet you have thyroid issues the same as me. You more than likely have low free t4, which is resulting in your issues with libido/eD. You also probably have a small varicocele caused the vasectomy surgery you had prior.
Get a full thyroid panel done and post it here, along with sex hormones and we can investigate it together.

The vasectomy cause me all this, it damaged the blow flow into my testicles. On Proviron 50mg ED with test 50mg EOD I was doing good with erections, now that I’m not taking Proviron my erections are worst than ever.
Yeah, sound’s similar to me. Mine was caused by a varicocele, though not surgery per-say (though I did have it fixed). I am willing to bet your issues are thyroid in nature, since that whole area (and the blood flow) is controlled by thyroid hormones for the most part.
There’s more to an abnormal SHBG that . Not sure if genetics even play a role.
Then please enlighten us on why we have crazy high SHBG
‚Its value expands to the area of clinical medicine as a marker of certain pathological states. Some studies already established its reliability and the growing trend to implement it as a useful clinical marker is present. It still remains largely understudied, from physiological and clinical aspect, but recent findings give notions that SHBG plays an important role in health and disease and could be a useful assessment marker.‘
