Hey Dant52, I’m sure this has been recommended by someone in this thread but go to the Injection for New Guys “Sticky” on the first page of this forum. The standard protocol is laid out in as simple a language as you will find. The numbers and the terminology can be difficult to understand. I would be very careful with adjusting your T dosages and AI dosages without having any labs or without speaking to your doctor. It sounds like you have a very open minded doctor as you are being prescribed your T, AI and HCG. Most guys on this forum struggle to get the trifecta. Remember that more T isn’t always better. Also, crashing your E2 levels is a major concern so increasing your AI is a very delicate matter.
A word of advice regarding forums is to let the barking dogs be. Every so often, for reasons unknown, certain members feel the need to be a dick. Let 'em be. Good luck dialing in your numbers and read, read, read and then read some more.[/quote]
i used to be a happy dog but now i bark. he won’t make his mistake again. he won’t want any additional embarrassment broadcasting to everyone he hasn’t done his own homework.
this board has grown so wussified that most won’t tell men who are two thirds through their life to get off their arse, read and memorize so as to reclaim THEIR health.
stickies on this site may not be user friendly. i recommend the admins force you to read them and pass a simple test before you can post in that individual forum. the people that wrote them did so to avert the board being mucked up by a thousand of the same questions. is it such a burden to read and memorize their hard work?
is it so exhausting to know what an ai (anti-aromatase) is and not refer to it as an estrogen blocker? SERM for $500 Alex? tadalafil? doh!
idiots screw up their hormones for months and may never get them back to where they should be because they are not finding remedies from their doctors (who know less about male hormone replacement therapy than anything else in medicine) and then take the first “bro science” reply from anonymous posters. dant52 there are some who here who don’t know any more than you but can’t wait to respond and show off the little knowledge they do have.
it’s YOUR body. you will have to become an amateur endocrinologist and those stickies with yellow 3M post it note icons besides them are the gateway. they have all the terminology and fundamental information to allow you to post here and halfway understand there are many variations to hormone replacement therapy and one size DOES NOT fit all.
make the stickies your bible so you don’t get roughed up and then bawl when knowledgeable people identify you as a trt sticky slacker.
seeing bright people such as KSman worn down here or suckered out of valuable time because some turkey won’t do his trt homework makes me bark and my bark is not worse than my bite.
when asked 95% will say they read the stickies then talk about estrogen blockers.
peace bitches.
…or whatever the kids say these days.

Conservativedog,
I get your frustration and see you slipping into being some bitter old teacher. I always found you understand in a place that ignorance abounds. Having seen other knowledgeable members go in the direction you are headed, I ask you to reevaluate why you are here and how much you have to offer.
