Another excelmale member I've spoken with endorsed Dr. Karen Boyle with Chesepeake Urology. She's in Towson, MD. Please PM me know if you find any other options - I live in Alexandria.

I have been on Test Cyp (70mg IM twice weekly) and HCG (500 IU SQ twice weekly) since 09/2018. These dosages have put my trough TT between 752-1174 ng/dl and trough FT between 23.2-32 pg/dl. My Estradiol (sensitive) on these dosages has always been 20-25. The problem prompting this post is...

Thanks, lemon flavor and Vince Carter. I will give the ON micronized version a try.

For those using creatine, is there a particular brand you recommend? I’m using Bulk Supplements’ creatine monohydrate, and honestly don’t notice much of a difference using it.

Have you previously used, or do you currently use, SSRIs? What about a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor such as finasteride (Propecia)?

Once you came off the HCG, how long did it take you to feel better? Was the testicular atrophy significant?

Appreciate your guys' input.

Any thoughts guys? Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

I have just received the results of my 90 day follow up labs and I am seeking advice on how to interpret them. Some of the highlights: Testosterone, Serum: 334 -> 1174 ng/dL Free Testosterone (Direct): 7.8 -> 32.2 pg/mL Estradiol, Sensitive: 11.5 -> 25.4 pg/mL SHBG, Serum: 46.7 -> 33.6 nmol/L...

Nashtide - would you mind elaborating a bit on dissolving the cialis in vodka? How exactly do you do this, and how do you actually take the medication once it's dissolved?

ZizshitWork - I am really sorry that the treatment has not provided relief after all this time. Personally, I have been on TRT for almost 10 weeks without any symptom relief, and that has been disappointing. I can't imagine going 3 years without acceptable results. If you feel your concerns are...

Any update on E2, Kirk? Also what was your SHBG?

I hope you're right about the AI. I'm optimistic TRT will makes it easier to further improve my body composition as well. SHBG seems to be a bit of a mystery. Hopefully as more studies are done and doctors obtain more longitudinal, clinical data treating TRT patients we will have more answers...

UPDATE - I had my consult with Dr. Saya this past Tuesday. Wonderful doctor. Very knowledgeable and thorough, but also easy to talk to. Dr. Saya advised that my liver enzymes do not concern him at this time. Though ALT is technically above the reference range, he said it isn't high enough to...
