I've spent the past few weeks doing research, talking with doctors and professionals... now I think I'm more confused than before, but know you all here probably have more experience with TRT and supplements.
First, here is my background...
I'm 6'3" 288lbs, approx 28% bf, maybe less (digital scale ranges +/- 4% any day). Currently on TRT with Androgel 81mg/ED. Was at 40.5mg/ED but blood test still showed T in low range ~230ng/dl. Been on 81mg/ED now for about 3 months and noticed gains in muscle mass, but recent blood work still show T is less than 300ng/dl. Doctors advice "this is normal, and with more weight loss your levels will go up." Ugh!!!
Recent blood work I had done still show test levels low, below 300, and thyroid levels low - borderline for therapy. Doctor doesn't want to prescribe meds for thyroid or hCG, or switch to injectable test. Saw another doctor and same line of crap.
Currently, I feel like shit -- very depressed, zero motivation, low libido, and definite signs of testicular atrophy. I strongly this is related to my test levels and thyroid. Latest blood work for FSH at .08 (range is 1.5 to 12.4) and Estradiol 24.2 (range is 7.6 - 42.6).
So... I went to a reliable source and purchased Test E (can get cyp if better), hCG, Arimidex, Clomid/Nolva for PCT, along with T3 and Clen (very difficult to get T4).
I'm looking to run this as a cycle, with the goal to drop body fat while maintain current muscle mass, if not add a little on. I'm confident if I can get the weight down (I know I will keep it down too), I won't need the TRT (or as much) and E2 levels should be more "normal."
I know this isn't the traditional "cycle" thread, but looking for some feedback from the pros here. Basically what I've found:
Test e 500mg 1x/week
hCG 250mg 2x/week
Adex .25 to .5mg EOD
I'd like to add in Clen and T3, especially since thyroid levels are so low, it's been a struggle to lose weight. Diet is clean, workout 5x week with cardio. Started Jan 2015 at 344, at 288 today.
Sorry for the long thread.
