Diet-for the last 3 weeks, approximately 2000 calories, primarily whole foods, six small meals a day, each meal is a combination of complex carbs, nuts/fats and protein, supplimenting with whey and casin proteins (150 grams per day), Co Q-10, food based multi-vitamin. I have lost 4-5 lbs.
Work outs: cardio/kickboxing 3x a week for 45min to 1hr. Includes kettleballs, dumbells, jump rope, push ups, mits, heavy bag, etc.
Occasional testes ache (3 times a week or so), I run hot (the whole family comments) I have not checked for fever.
No morning wood. Sex drive is good. Erections: not what they used to be but no complaints.
Doctor has prescribed the following:
T Cypionate 200/ml:1cc once weekly
Anastrazole 1 mg tab, 4 times weekly
HCG 5000u .3CC’s 2 times weekly
Questions:
Do I really need THT?
If I try THT for 4 months and decide to stop, what is the probability of damaging my natural ability of producing T (using clomid or some other Med to kick start the testes)?
Mentally, I’m going in circles on this. I’d sure as hell like to feel better but I’m leery of opening the door to potential risks. Any feed back is appreciated, Thanks in advance.
