by the way, my dad tried going off TRT because he mistakenly thought the "testosterone would jump start his system"... this is how little his endo communicates.

got tested after 2 months off test and his test was a bit higher than it was before using. he went from 283 to 410 ng/dl.

after using for 2 years. he's back on it now and says he won't go off again!

so jel is right, when your test is that low, you've got nothing to lose.

I THINK what J meant to say that the TRT/HRT PROTOCOL would eliminate the gyno, meaning that testosterone plus ancillary drugs like an AI to keep the numbers of both hormones optimized would create an environment where gyno would no longer be an issue.

i think this is what he meant as well. there just aren't enough androgens in his system for gyno to just disappear.
