There is no shutdown happening because MK677 just promotes more endogenous GH release. Taking it before bed can help with some side effects but the half life (24 hours) is too long for this to prevent day time fatigue.

MK677 is a ghrelin mimetic. It’s well-known to increase hunger. So much so that many bodybuilders rely on it when bulking to increase their appetite.

Because you get all the nasty side effects of MK677 like: 1) Ravenous hunger 2) Excessive daytime lethargy 3) Excessive water retention

MK-677 is a joke. Anyone who wants the benefits of this compound without the ravenous hunger would use CJC and Ipamorelin instead.

My antibodies were almost high (very top end of the reference range) and I have a lump on the right side of my throat. Today I started 100 mcg T4 and 50 mcg T3 Haven’t felt anything different so far but I’ll give it time.

Also in terms of iodine, I eat a lot of seaweed (I know, I’m weird). That supposedly rich in iodine. I also have a kelp supplement I take once in the morning.

Diet consists of lots of veggies, lean protein, and moderate-low amounts of fat (I have some heartburn issues at the moment that’s preventing me from eating more fat) Thyroid antibodies were 1.0 IU/mL for thyroglobulin antibody test (ref range 0.0-0.9) so this is HIGH. Thyroid peroxidase...

Please help me understand my blood work and symptoms I’ve been struggling for the longest time with fatigue, stubborn weight, and feeling extremely cold + sluggish, constipated and having ED. I’ve been taking my oral temperature on waking and throughout the day. Waking temp ranges from 92-96...

Also forgot to mention: I’ve been dealing with some thyroid issues. Waking body temperature has been 93-94 Fahrenheit with a maximum daily temperature of 96.6. Labs showed TSH of 1.1, T4 was normal at 4.6, but free T3 was low. I suspected high RT3 so I ordered a new set of labs of TSH/Free T4...

I’ve been struggling with low E2 for the longest time. Started off my TRT 36 mg daily test CYP, 200 IU HCG daily, and 0.0625 mg anastrozole twice per week. Dropped the AI due to low E2 symptoms (mostly achy knees, lethargy, difficulty maintaining/getting erection). Bloodwork showed T = 3100...

Agreed. I think being hypogonadal for 2.5 years has just made me overly anxious/reactive. I’m doing 30 mg test C EOD for 105 mg per week.

I had stopped the HCG. Fearing crashed E2, I used 200 IU. You can clearly tell I’m a mess lol. I tossed my AI and HCG in the trash. No temptation to keep dallying.

I was feeling pretty great this morning but then suddenly got hit with a wave of fatigue. Did my injection this morning but it wouldn’t have even peaked yet. Thinking HCG might be the problem. I’m cutting out everything but test on an EOD schedule for now.

Hi Systemlord, Quick update: I didn’t inject any testosterone yesterday. Only 200 IU HCG. I felt much better. My sleeping heart rate went down from 53 bpm to 49 bpm. Is it possible I’m just allergic to the carrier oil?

Old protocol was 200 mg split into daily administrations with 250 IU HCG EOD Bloodwork revealed elevated RBC (6.20 million/uL), normal hematocrit (43.4) and low Hemoglobin (13.0). I expected my hemoglobin to be low because I have beta thalassemia trait. Pre-TRT my hemoglobin was 10.0 and my RBC...
