Quick background. I used to be a bigger guy, around 240lbs at my peak. I got myself in shape through diet and except use, getting myself down to a lean 150lbs, decent composition and around 10% body fat. For the last couple of years though I have faced what feels like a constantly decreased metabo…

It’s too early to see significant changes in body composition, TRT doesn’t act fast like drugs, it takes time for TRT to work. It’s going to take probably months to figure out your TRT protocol. The time span for maximum benefits is measured in a little more than a year. The HCG may be hindering th…

All labs should have ranges with them. Ranges are not universal, so you need to note the range that came with th e number that you post. You also haven’t given dosage information. 0.15mL is a volume, which is meaningless without concentration information. You also wouldn’t notice anything yet. It’s …

Thanks for the comments guys. In terms of my dosage, each ampoule is 250mg enanthate per 1ml, so that would equate to roughly 40mg per injection (which I do twice-weekly). Estradiol is 135 pmol/L which my doctor described as ‘borderline’, however he was concerned that as my blood test was taken two…

[image] jonnya: however he was concerned that as my blood test was taken two days after my last injection this level will have been higher at its peak. Yes, but not a whole lot higher with that dose plus levels will be lower at trough. You’ll need to increase your dose. Most, by far, feel s…

Thanks, that’s reassuring (the bit about seeing fat loss within a couple to six months, not the doctor’s obsession with numbers). It’s an interesting comment re: the doctor. I’m based in the UK, and so I’ve gone with one of the few specialist clinics over here - a place that comes very highly recom…

[image] jonnya: The general feedback on AI’s seems to be a little bit mixed, so I’m slightly nervous on that front. The general feeling is, don’t take an AI unless you actually need it. Very few guys actually need it. You have described nothing that would indicate you are one of the few that …

Out of interest, what’s the beef with aromatase inhibitors? I’ve Google side-effects etc. but the bulk of the information I can find seems to be more relevant to women undergoing breast cancer treatment. I know one of the cited side effects for women is weight gain, which I absolutely don’t want, h…

Less is more. You want to use the lowest number of drugs possible. Every new thing is added complexity and possibility of cross reaction and negative sides. It is not uncommon for guys to crash their E2 by playing with th e AI’s, which is way worse than whatever reason they had for using them. There…

The beef is that most men on TRT dose dont need it yet its prescribed across the board like candy. The beef is that it can destroy your estrogen and ability to aromatase estrogen. The beef is that its a toxic drug that doesnt regulate E as well as your body does. Everything takes time. The longer yo…

[image] jonnya: Is it still to early to expect to see changes in body composition, weight management etc. or is it more likely that I’m barking up the wrong tree with TRT? I’m thoroughly fed up at the minute. :frowning: [image] DexterMorgan's log - TRT, Lifting, Mental Health…
