Need Advice, at the 3 Months Mark

Pharma TRT

Hi, first time poster be gentle

I am nearly 3 months into a protocol of 0.17ml of sub injected Cypionate and 0.1ml of HCG 3 times a week. It all began with doing a numan online blood test and having a few red markers (see first bloods 2022 attached) After this I changed my supplement regime and some lifestyle choices and a month later was pretty much green across the board (see second bloods 2022 attached) Anyway as you will see in my first bloods my T was low so I went to optimale for TRT who needed a second low T test result (see second bloods pre TRT) which allowed me to commence my protocol. I have attached my 6 week post TRT test also.

In the last 1.5/2 months I have noticed that my sleep has been affected quite dramatically as in my sleep and health apps are reporting a drop from a normal 7/8 hours per night to 4/5 per night. Once I awaken there is zero chance of getting back to sleep.

I have attached all bloods (for anyone that’s interested and might be able to offer some advice) that I have had done recently and finding it increasingly hard to get my TRT doc (optimale) to take on board that I am definitely seeing a change in sleeping habits, he is kinda saying na can’t be the TRT this helps with sleep etc. my GP is even worse and just give me all the usual stuff anyone with half a brain cell would have tried already.

I am thinking of stopping my HCG to see if any improvements are made and then maybe even stopping the T if none are made without HCG. Just really to rule this all out.

I did recently (very stupidly) have a couple of weeks trying a cycle of Clen and t3 as I have body fat on my torso that just will not shift no matter how much of a calorie deficit I have and how much cardio I do but stopped this after 3 weeks as I felt it was giving me palpitations etc. I did stop this about 4 weeks ago so I would have expected if this was the cause normality would have returned by now.

Anyway any similar stories out there? Also please don’t judge the decision of trying the fat burners as I now realise how stupid that was.

As do I, because T3 has a short half-life. I found a study on cows using tren and it was found in the short term group to have significantly lowered Free T4 values.

This lower Free T4 may explain the high prolactin values as low thyroid function can lead to an elevation in prolactin.

I also believe the mild elevation in ALT levels could be due to the low Free T4.

You have macrocytic anemia, do you smoke?

Thanks for this it all makes sense. Another forum mentioned the anemia also where others are mentioning thyroid malfunctioning and possible pituitary tumor. Neither my clinic or GP (who is running separate bloods have mentioned any of these) my GP after every test just said no further action required.

I do/did smoke yeah until recently, I switched to vaping 2 months ago though. Do you think this could be a possible cause of the anemia?

It’s highly likely your macrocytic anemia is the result of smoking. So stop smoking/vaping!

That’s the keyword, in time as it can take up to 2 years.
