Timeline of Bouncing Back After TRT

Hope its okey if i lend the thread a bit.

Was on trt 4 years, now i have stopped for 2 weeks to try regain fertillity, as my sperm count is 0. We have 1 kid already.

Taking hcg 500iu eod and clomid 25mg eod. To try get sperm as quickly as possible.

I have real bad anxiety, and depression right now, and the next hour i can feel fine and then suddently anxiety again and bad mood…

Maybe cut back to 12.5mg clomid eod instead or what is happening?

Yeah my main bouts with higher HCT tended to be during vaping runs. Vaping always dehydrated the crap out of me.

Day 16 since last injection… no fatigue today as of yet but a quick bout of anxiety that passed…maybe try enclomiphene instead of clomid… way less side effects, clomid can cause all that stuff you experiencing.

Ah so thats why i drank over a gallon of water and still felt dehydrated… worse than smoking cigs… im gonna go back on nicoderm patch and get my hemo and hema rechecked. I actually feel more out of breath vaping versus smoking cigs

Yeah that’s the best option. IF you so badly crave and love the nicotine strictly, that’s the best delivery. Vaping method is not innocent.

Day 17 - not much has changed, a little tired overall… but thats it. No crazy bouts of fatique like over the weekend at the 2 week mark, Spoke to doc, doesn’t even think enclo is warranted given short duration was on trt at a low dose with hcg… we will see. No idea where my test is at or if bottomed out, almost went to due bloodwork to see if lh and fsh is beginning to surge.

Day 18

Best i felt in the past week… can concentrate better, less anxious, no fatique as of yet. May get a hormonal panel bloods done next week to check out lh and fsh.

Libido and erections?

Not bad… Definitely thinking of sex alot less… on test i felt like my only purpose in life was to drop a load in a woman lol… no joke. I’m seeing a girl this Saturday, will be interesting to see how it goes, definitely taking a small dose of cialis but I’m still able to get an erection and morning wood is weaker but there… toning back my enclophimene to 12.5mg eod not even sure I need it, but I think the worse has past. Judging by others bloodwork they all seem to bottom out right around the end of the 2nd week mark, and by 4 weeks LH is surging and Test pretty much back to normal… I believe I did amwell but not certain. Hard to tell, but hcg definitely smoothed this all out… wouldnt go back on again without it.

Overall, my personality is coming back, on test I just never felt the same… more emotionless… less motivated believe it or not… Became more forgetful, felt dumb like I lost IQ… My job can be mentally taxing and requires thinking and problem solving, on test there was days I would struggle with things that were easy, I dunno why but thats how it made me feel. If I had to guess, I would say maybe dose was just slightly to high.

I envy you

Yeah people have stated this too.

Just got these back… these were taken just over 2 weeks ago about 4 days after my last injection… Any real way to lower these ?

Dihydrotestosterone (1)

116 High

12-65 ng/dL

DHT, Free (1)

12.00 High

pg/mL

I started to get bad acne on shoulders and sides of stomach and never get acne so I had doc give me this test, also hair growth seemed weird, another reason I ended it. Didn’t want to go down the road of finistride or taking another drug to counteract the effect of something. Doc overall while I appreciate him allowing me to get on test, was a bit to dismissive of my concerns and side effects and only would say, can’t be the test it doesn’t do that.

lol down her slide

lol I dunno, I was hitting and taking whatever I got, standards dropped but I could care less lol … now I’m like… damn I f’ed her? lol

It definitely did… Doc looked at me like I was crazy and said nah test wouldn;t cause that. I could get electrocuted if my brain not working lol.

I joined the maximus tribe discord to pick the doctors brain on enclophimine…They are experts on it and their following gets results, however I’m getting mine through my doctor and a local compounding pharmacy for way cheaper, but Dr Cam did mention something about taking test down regulates something that would cause that emotionless, loss of sensitivity in sex, feeling dumber etc symptoms…

Wondering to keep doing HCG, it’s just so damn expansive now since the new laws.

The generic standard answers you get here is ball size and fertility, but there are personal testimonies stating how it completely changed there TRT experience for the better.

First month of test no hcg… sex felt bad… orgasm bad… hcg made it feel more normal. there was a time i thought hcg made me feel worse… but I think I narrowed it down to arimidex causing that… hcg definitely helped with sex and it also keep the boys alive for which will help when you come off I think it makes a huge difference when coming off…

paid $140 for 10000iu of pregnyl … do you pay more?

Wow I have to find a better source but the cheapest I can get is like 180 I think.

Sorry if it has been mentioned. How much HCG were you dosing while on TRT, not after?

What was your levels pre trt?

I mixed it up… doc said 350 iu 2 times a week… but the studies I read said eod at 350iu to surpass pre trt. I mostly did 250-350iu 2 times a week, sometimes eod. can’t find the studies done, but they did 125, 350 and 500iu eod…
