Thread: Is this right?

Just for clarity, JohnDoe, in your experience you prefer to be ON an AI and OFF an HCG?

Within a week after stopping hcg my nuts started aching and shut down again. Not worth it if you gonna stay on TRT - just get used to having a sack of acorns.

This is the reality of TRT. Thanks for chiming in, JD

At 200mg of Cyp per week, I do not need an AI.

watch in another few years science finds the nuts to produce something else that is extremely important and here we are destroying the bastards.
all in all its a safe bet to put your body back to where it was

I take 200mg of Cyp a week split in two doses, 100mg Mon & Thur and do need an AI. Everybody is different, just have to find what works for you.

My clinic doc had me on 160 a week and my estrogen started creeping up to where they have me taking more arimidex. They have me at 180 a week now seeing as my levels still aren't where they want me.

Is it a normal thing for the boys to shrink up during trt? I ask cause mine haven't seemed to have shrank at least nothing noticeable.

My boys shrank considerably 200mg's a week. My E also crept up at that dosage.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a problem with estrogen.

Exactly - everyone is different and our bodies react differently.
