Hello All

I have been reading for a few months and decided I'd better introduce myself. 37M. I've been on TRT for 5 years due to secondary hypogonadism from a TBI in the military. I did several cycles during combat rotations but haven't gone beyond TRT since. Most of my TRT time has been great but I ended up on here looking for answers due to issues controlling E2 and crashing my iron. Low iron was fucking terrible! My doc told me to consistently donate after a HCT of 50.5! Of course supplementing iron made my HCT shoot up. This event made me realize that I must be more active in my healthcare and hormone replacement.

Currently lift 3x per week with daily fasted cardio. I have been lifting since I was 14. Unfortunately my routine is somewhat limited by chronic injuries. Current protocol is 20mg test cyp daily. 7.5mg Tirz. Down to 203 from 232 in 3.5 months. 5'11". Once I get HCT steady w/o donations, I plan on titrating up test as far as I can with HCT under 53 and adding in some GH. Eventually I would also like to experiment with primo or mast for their ability to control E2 while adding androgens. Also interested in low dose nandrolone for joint pain.

As a new father, I am as interested in harm reduction as much as hormone optimization. I am not looking to bodybuild or compete. I am looking for TRT+ information to be the best man I can be both physically and mentally. Looking forward to learning from fellow members!

Godspeed,

Brotha if your HCT is 53 and out of control on just TRT you may have Factor V Leiden or a polymorphism like a JAK2 mutation. You’ll never be able to cycle at this rate let alone use GH that ramps up RBC production and increase Hgh/hct. More frequent pinning also won’t decrease hct / Hgb so you have that working against you as opposed to 2 pins a week
