So, let's here your triptorelin experience(s). Thus far, there is only ONE documented success with a GnRH agonist. [There is a report with GnRH.] I see many bro reports of success, but all with no complete set of labs!!! I have many many cases of failure (over 50).
There is a need to document and publish any success that includes the clinical context. I would welcome its use if it was so great.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to the chronic abuse of anabolic steroids purchased over the Internet.
DESIGN: Case report.
SETTING: Endocrinology unit of the University of Brescia.
PATIENT(S): A 34-year-old man.
INTERVENTION(S): A single dose (100 mug) of triptorelin (triptorelin test).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Clinical symptoms, androgen normalization, levels of serum testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone.
RESULT(S): Within 1 month, the patient's serum testosterone was in the normal range, and he reported a return to normal energy and libido.
CONCLUSION(S): The World Anti-Doping Code has proved to be a very powerful and effective tool in the harmonization of antidoping efforts worldwide, but it is insufficient to combat this illegal phenomenon. To tackle the serious side effects caused by doping we believe that it is necessary to increase monitoring and adopt severe sanctions, particularly with regard to Internet sites.
