I wanted to also say that I do inject 1000iu of HCG a week to keep my own testosterone production up and my testicles big and pumping. If you are dead set on doing that, start at only 500iu a week, but I really think you should wait a month, let your nuts shrink (they will come back with HCG I promise). That way you can keep your estrogen as low as possible and control your testosterone perfectly so that everything will be perfect. Plus, Aromasin will help to an extent at keeping your nuts pumping, but not like HCG.
Also make sure you have Arimidex handy, if you start to experience estrogen dominance (aka pfs crash) take 1mg of Arimidex (you should feel better in 1 to 2 hours) if not then take another 1mg of Arimidex, you should feel better then in 1 to 2 hours. You must take it till you feel normal and the crash reverses and you feel horny and aggressive and your muscles will pump up from the test. I am amazed how when I reverse a crash I don’t just feel better, I feel great! I get horny and in an amazing mood, because it is testosterone causing that estrogen and one the estrogen is suppressed you feel the testosterone and DHT.
The Arimidex protocol is a backup, a safeguard, something you probably won’t need, but something you should have. Everyone is different, so you may have to tweak doses of Aromasin and testosterone propionate to suit you, but I don’t think so to be honest, this protocol is pretty good.
Don’t worry about your estrogen dropping too low, that never happened to me while on testosterone with this condition, no matter how much AI’s I took. If it happens, it isn’t a big deal, it comes right back REALLY fast, like in hours or a day. I just don’t see that as a possibility when on testosterone, the reason this condition has been untreatable is the estrogen dominance (aka crashes).
Even guys who refuse to use testosterone injections and want to use natural supplements or test boosters, you have always been limited by these crashes. Now you know what they are and how to reverse them, Aromasin will be your best friend. Most importantly, many of you guys have gone on protocols and quit after a week or 2 weeks or a month, you have to go on and stay on. Just because your estrogen spikes a little and you freak out, just lower it with an AI. No one should ever use the word “crash,” again, it should always be called “Estrogen dominance surge.” That’s why this condition has not been treated well. Guys who have been shut down for months or years, you may need to give this a couple months to work, so be patient.
Testosterone propionate is fast acting and so is Aromasin, so I can’t imagine you not feeling something the first day. Remember that the extra Arimidex you may or may not need, it is temporary till your system heals, and it will heal. Forget blood tests, just work with how you feel, what makes you feel good and normal, your body is the best tester of hormones, if everything is right you will feel good. You need to learn to recognize the sensations of each hormone. After you get yourself fixed, then you go and take the blood tests, but since they show up normal usually, they will probably show up normal again after, it is probably some nuerosteroedal undetectable hormonal thing.
Even if your natural testosterone is high, still use the testosterone propionate, you need to control these levels and keep them optimal. The reason CDnuts recovered was because he kept stimulating his 5AR with PCT cycling, the DHT was suppressive and counter productive, and that other orthodox Jewish guy, he thought there was some magic behind tribulus. He kept crashing and took a break, all bullshit, just estrogen spikes from increasing his own testosterone which was all being aromatized.
HCG will restore your natural testosterone production to better than it was before you start this protocol, so for you guys who don’t want to be on HRT long term, this is just to allow your system to recover. I assure you though, I have never seen a guy start HRT and quit lol, after you feel what testosterone injections are like you won’t go back. The point is, I never expected to find a protocol that would cause us to heal. Even if your own testosterone is good, you want to do this to stimulate your system and trigger it back on, what you are doing is the opposite of what finasteride did. The Aromasin makes it possible by being a steroid that works like DHT but without being suppressive or causing any DHT effects.
No one will ever crash from PFS again, so long as you have Aromasin and Arimidex, if anyone wants to add the HGH precursor protocol, I am happy to detail it, I just don’t want to make this confusing. The reason test propionate works better than even your own testosterone at fixing this is due to the massive DHT surges you get from propionate. Your system will detect low 5ar or low dht (perhaps it is at a neurosteroidal level), but it will fix it. When you all get better we should all have a reunion in person.
Some doctor will take credit for this, but I don’t care, your perspective of things changes after you reverse this and after all you have been through.
