Approved Log Coming off TRT and Natural recovery Log

[natmak12]

So I recently came off 3 years of TRT which changed my life. Whilst being on it, I felt better on every way, I was sharper, calmer and all round felt better.

As my partner and I are wanting to have kids and a semen analysis showed pretty much zero swimmers. I made the hard decision to come off approximately 2 months ago.

I weened off over a few weeks and implemented HCG 500 every other day. I wanted enclomiphene but could locate legitimate source.

All in all, I felt pretty shit, low labido, massive brain fog, less confident, but I knew this was going to occur so I just rode with it.

I got blood results back today and am happy to see my LH and FSH have gone up dramatically. Hopefully I start to see a difference in the next semen analysis.

I noticed my SHBG is quite high (50) should I worry about this?

I have attached my blood results and would love some feedback.

This is going to be a hard journey @natmak12 but EVO family respect for doing it! why havent you logged it? its a popular topic, @CypherOCE and @bss log it.
how is the rest of your situation going? training diet supps?

on the shbg expect it to go even higher, unfortunately normal for post TRT.

Total Test is pretty good considering you've come off TRT. SHBG is right on the edge of too high. Do you have a baseline from before you started TRT?
You could supplement with boron to try bring it down a little and get your free test up a little.

Hi mate

I probably should have. I might keep updates on here from now on.
Diet has been fine. I eat pretty much the same all year round. Surprisingly my physique has now really changed to much.
Biggest thing I noticed re training is the motivation to actually get there and get it done. I still do, but it takes more of a push rather than like fuck yeah let's go.
I have alsooved gyms though and I hate my new gym so could have something to do with it haha. 6 months more I'll move.

I have also been taking vit d, zinc. Vit c, mag and omega 3 tablets everyday.

Don't get me wrong, as soon as a bun is in the oven... I'm going back on asap.

I got on trt mainly due to the brain fog I was getting with low T. It's amazing how it almost eradicated my brain fog. But it's back now

So this can really only be called supportive for anyone not insulin resistant like diabetic/obese/ metabolic conditions but anything that increases insulin sensitivity increases fertility indirectly

This goes for your other half as well since insulin sensitivity is heavily linked to female fertility. This is the reason for the term "ozempic babies" as glp's increase insulin sensitivity indirectly which leads to subfertile woman and sufferers of pcos suddenly becoming more fertile and/or get a regular cycle going again.

Theres not much in the way of studies for glps effect on male fertility but a few studies have mentioned in some non healthy obese etc men getting a modest to moderate increase in sperm quality and quatity.

This is kind of a prime position your in to first hand test the effects of a glp on the sperm of a healthy fit males sperm with a sperm analysis.

Heres a couple previous posts of mine both in the same thread. One has a link to female pregnacy increase on glp. The other i made a post about male fertility.

came off 3 years of TRT

Brave

implemented HCG 500 every other day

Are you still doing that?

I knew this was going to occur so I just rode with it.

That’s the way. It helps so much to be aware of the causes affecting you mentally

Hopefully I start to see a difference in the next semen analysis.

From what I’ve heard, it’ll be one more month and you’ll see things starting to happen

SHBG is quite high (50) should I worry about this?

You’ll feel better if it’s lower I think.

This is going to be a great log and thank you for trusting us with your personal life brother. EVO Family has your back and I'll be following along and helping as best I can.

My favourite fertility log here on EVO is @CypherOCE's Operation: Baby Bottle fertility log here CyperOCE Fertility Log. Operation: Baby Bottle
You might find a lot of good info in that one.

Your bloods actually look great bro that's some baby making markers there. Your SHBG ought to be at that high range or even over range with where you're at now so 50 nmol/L is not alarming at least to me.

Thanks for posting bloods and I'm looking forward to your swimmer results. So far so good!

welcome back to the EVO family @natmak12 I followed your TRT log, last time you were doing well

Update long overdue. I know some will be pissed by the lack of updates recently.

But so far on my TRT on approx 100mg a week and I feel unreal! For those who don't remember I started TRT due to having naturally low testosterone and starting to feel the downside of that at work.

Since starting TRT and getting my test onto a good range although not super high , I feel less brain fog, more motivated hitting more PBs in the gym, looking good and as corny as it sounds.. more manly haha.

I have been on a bull through winter and am up from 88kg to 94.5kg and lean.

My diet has remained clean, just a more of it. More salman and steak also.

I will be getting bloods again this coming week and will post the past few weeks workouts also showing my weights going up.

New gym also I think has given me that extra push surrounded by gyms rats weather than teenages trying to grow there chest.

Test has been from hybrid labs and has been fantastic

now your log is Recovery log

I am still doing the HCG. Although don't know how long to stay on it. Thoughts on implementing HMG and enclo?

Thinking I should wait to see semen analysis.

You could supplement with boron to try bring it down a little and get your free test up a little.

I second the boron - that will reduce the SHBG and give you a little more free test
