In the US I have not had any good experiences with Endos or Urologist when it comes to male hormones. It is not their focus. You need a good private men’s HRT clinic. I believe you said you live in the UK. We have had many guys on this forum from the UK and they found very good private doctors. I did not write any of them down. I am surprised none have posted here but they may have moved on.
I’m actually in touch with one on your recommendation (TRT clinics as opposed to endocrinologists). I need to get the up to date bloods done and I figured, whether I’m right or wrong I don’t know but I figured I should let myself come off the T and anastrozole I’m currently taking before I get those bloods. Once they have them I can have a consultation with one of their specialists.
Bloods right now with your hormones all over the place will not help your new doc. It could confuse the heck out of him. Unless you tell him everything you did and that might cause him to drop you. Its a tough call.
I would PCT and get clean and that could take a couple months. I know next to nothing about PCT. Other here can help you with that.
T injections/AAS can trash your lipids hurt your liver and kidneys. Maybe look into support supplement to get them back to better than average.
I’ve done two PCTs before so I’m pretty confident with that. I have a huge stash of nolvadex and clomid! I’ll probably buy some HCG online too to ease the pain in my balls. What a mess!

Perfect.
lol if you can buy hcg online you can find a place to buy some test cyp too.
For the 10000000000 time inject 80mgs test cyp 3 times a week and stop bitching and making up new shit that’s wrong with you everyday. Don’t take an Ai and let the test cyp work for 4-6 weeks.
You won’t tho because you’re a troll just craving attention and telling all these good ppl made up stories.
Shhh
I started taking HCG today - just 500units (I don’t know how to write it). It’s given me a bit of mental and physical respite for now. Pretty sure it’s not placebo because my balls feel less painful already! Unless anyone advises otherwise I’ll take this amount twice a week for around a month and do another PCT (my third this year). Then I’ll get baselines again and take them to a TRT clinic. I’ve already found one and sent them my last baseline bloods and they said they’d take me on as a patient.

If my balls are aching I notice the pain go away in as little as 4 hours. Since I am on TRT and do not PCT I usually stop the injections as soon as the pain is completely gone.
I have been on TRT now for ~8 years and my balls have atrophied to about 1/2 their normal size. I took HCG weekly for the first 2 years but then stopped because It was raising my E2 and I already have E2 issues on my TRT dose of 100-120mg/wk.
I can’t remember if HCG is repressive to your natural T production. There are people who take massive injections of HCG for weight loss. Anyway, something to research.
Yes, it was that quick! I’ve still got noticeable water retention (stomach and thighs particularly) so I’ve increased the anastrozole to 1/4 day with no side effects (any more).
I did read some time ago that, if taken too long, HCG can suppress your natural LH production permanently. It made me very cautious with my previous PCTs - I don’t think I even finished the vial. Too cautious, probably.
is that 1/4 every day 7 days a week? That seems like a lot. Be careful if you feel your joints feeling dry or you start getting lots of pops and clicks your E2 could be getting too low. When I get my E2 in my sweet spot of 20-24(top of range 35) it still takes a week or two for all my water weight to go away. Believe it or not drinking a ton of water first thing in the morning seems to speed up the process.
I am glad to read you are feeling better.
Yeah every day and I’m paying very close attention to my joints and so far nothing. I just figured as long as the water retention is there I’ll be bold…
Still not much in the way of libido and the other stuff down there - but no pain so I’m hoping that’s a sign of things moving in the right direction 
Thanks for your help…
I was of the impression you took T?
HCG does NOT cause suppression itself, I repeat again.
Yep, I know. And yes, I was taking T until 10 days ago but I’ve had to stop. Something isn’t right. Next steps PCT > Bloodwork > TRT Clinic. And a prayer 
Question about HCG on PCT. I’m doing a 20/20/20/20/10/10 nolvadex PCT as of today (day 14 post Test E). I have loads of clomid too but last time I took it it made me borderline suicidal. For the last week I’ve also been taking 250-500iu HCG every second day because I had really painful testicular atrophy. I still have 4000iu approx of HCG left in the fridge. Should I finish it? I’m not entirely without pain in my testicles yet and I feel like continuing the HCG will give me some respite but if it’s at the expense of a full recovery of the HPTA I’ll endure the pain a bit longer.
I’ve also been taking a bit of anastrozole while on the HCG. Should I stop that today?
Also what about proviron? Was taking 50-100mg a day. Stop that today too?
I got my bloods back. These were taken one month after my last Test E. No PCT. I started a 50/50/25/25 Clomid PCT after these bloods were drawn.
Can anyone help shed light on why, with these results, I have no libido and very low semen production? I don’t think it’s retrograde ejaculation as claimed by my NHS GP. Is my E2 too low? Sensitive E2 tests are apparently not available in the UK.
The TRT doc is taking a look at these bloods to tell me if he’ll treat me. But I’m curious to know what people here think. Thanks
I’m aware I’ve got some bad results there on cholesterol and liver. I’ve been pretty depressed and haven’t been exercising or eating well - so these results are, at the very least, a kick in the arse to sort that out. Regarding hormones though I don’t know what to do. Do I even need to complete this PCT (which I started late to get the best baseline possible) or shall I just let my body rest? The testicular atrophy is WAY better than it was and right now, two days into Clomid PCT, I feel just generally better: mental focus is better and volume of semen is a tiny bit more normal. I guess my body is telling me to finish the PCT? If so I’m just hoping I can battle the Clomid depression.
You finished the cycle, got labs, did a PCT and have no libido now? Or you had no libido when these labs were taken but after your PCT you feel better?

These labs were taken one month after my last pin - but before I started my PCT. I had no libido when they were taken. Wondering why that was? I mean, I know it was one months post-pin and a long gap until my PCT but…don’t my hormones look fairly normal? Shouldn’t my libido feel normal? I mean, my figures are suppressed but I FEEL suppressed.
I’m now two days into a Clomid PCT and it’s too early to say whether my libido is normalising.
They do. These labs are on 1/4mg of arimidex every day? The estrogen is high for sure if that’s the case. Your arimidex is pharmaceutical? I would’ve thought that would crash your e2 with ease.
Your libido disappeared when last cycle started?
How much sodium a day were you eating when you began bloating on cycle? Sometimes it’s a Myriad of factors: hormones fluctuating right after pinning (temporary), high sodium intake, high estrogen.
On cycle if I go over 3-4g of sodium I bloat for 3 days. Off cycle I don’t
Was your symptoms just visual appearance? Was your blood pressure bad from the sodium retention? The testicular atrophy/pain is normal for me though after years of blast and cruise it rarely happens
