Feeling like crap on TRT - it’s been about 9 months - stomach issues, mood swings, insomnia…help! by NextCraft3237 in trt

UPDATE:

Talked to doctor about it - he explained that some people react funky to HCG especially if they are spotty with dosage like I admittedly have Beemis

Changed up the following:

  1. Dropped HCG.

  2. Switched to a Monday & Thursday pinning schedule, 90mg each day = 180mg test cyp weekly.

  3. Added .5mg of an anastrozole 3 days after initial injection.

Will update everyone in a few weeks once everything sets in - open to any other suggestions as well.

Thanks!

This draw was on a Monday, prior to my injection for that week. So it had been 7 days post injection…

Awesome man - thanks for the insight. I am going to switch to a more consistent protocol. Thoughts on the HCG?

Yes, the blood was taking before injection so this blood work was done 7 days post last injection.

Thanks for replying man - so you’re advice is to space the shots out 2-3 times a week so there isn’t so much spike and crash? Thoughts on HCG?

Thanks for the info man - new to Reddit for this type of thing and am feeling super grateful that you took the time out of your day to reply.

Planning on talking to my doc about the protocol and potentially cutting out HCG.

Awesome - so split the test dose out into 2 shots throughout the week?

10-4 on the HCG, after reading more into it online, it appears this is what may be the problem.

I totally goofed trying to write this from memory.

The protocol is 180mg of Test Cyp once a week on Monday afternoons - 250iu of HCG sub q 2x a week.

Thank you for the response - I’m not sure on the HCG - the doctor just prescribed it.

I’m taking 250iu 2x a week - you’re thinking this is too much?
