Re: Questions about Testosterone replacement treatment

[Guest guest]

This happens to men after they are on TRT for a time there testis stop working

because there brain sees the Testosterone in your blood and slows down sending

the LH and FSH messages from the brain to your testis that tell them to make

Testosterone. So the stop working and get smaller. To over come this we take

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)250 IU's in a shot every 3 days for men on

creams or gels. Also as your on TRT your Estradiol levels can go up and make

you feel the way your feeling test this if it's to high get it down we use

Arimidex or Indolplex/DIM to do this if your levels are over 30 pg/ml let me

know and I can tell you how to take Arimdex or DIM to get this down.

Go to Dr. 's site and read TRT: A Recipe for Success and His HCG update.

www.allthingsmale.com

I am betting your Dr. even knows of him.
