Regarding the safety of supplemental testosterone. If you are not deficient to begin with, the supplemental T will NEGATIVELY feedback to your pituitary gland.
This will inhibit your LH secretion, and therefore the testicles won't be told to make T. (the body already shows T in the system).
This is why it can be dangerous to inject T or forms of T. Your balls will shut down. Also, your sperm production will drop.
Although T is needed to produce sperm, the T must be LOCALLY produced by the testes for sperm production to occur.
NOTE: Bodybuilders will take Clomid during a cycle to keep some natural T production. Then hcg to really "jump start" the balls again after the cycle.
I wouldn't do T injections unless I was T deficient.
Too risky and too much to worry about.
Also, Arimidex and Nolvadex are estrogen blockers. This will keep T conversion to E from either happening at all (Arimidex) or from effecting the body (Nolvadex - Tamoxifen).
