They aren't responding to my email in a timely fashion either.

Estrogen bomb, between the strong phytoestrogen hops in an IPA and aromatase stimulation of the alcohol itself. This is one of the worst possible lifestyle habits to pair with high dose TRT.

I would guess that your levels of everything, T, DHT, and E2 are lower, certainly from the reduced/ more frequent hCG, possibly from the switch from IM to subq, and possibly due to both. Your E2 before was probably too high for good EQ, and now it is not. I would run your labs, then leave the...

What an inspiration! 93 years old, running 250 mg a week with good bloodwork for the sexual benefits. I'm not sure which I love more: the fact that you're doing it, or how much you triggered madman by posting about it. Rock on Bremster!

It's the estradiol setpoint that is most impactful here, and this usually doesn't differ for men with secondary hypogonadism. In my view, the only reason most men with secondary hypogonadism have it is because they are able to reach their estradiol setpoint with less testosterone, because they...

Yeah, I'm coming around to this, after observing some clear cognitive decline in myself with longer use of TRT. However, I'm skeptical that supplementing a couple things like preg or DHEA can counter the complete effects of HPTA shutdown and the 12+ disrupted hormones/neurosteroids.. I'm going...

From our own experience and what I've read from other women, it's usually progesterone that ruins everything and overshadows the energy, mood, and sexual benefits of estradiol and testosterone. Progesterone often makes them fatigued, apathetic, and kills their libido (similar to the effects in...

Knowing what I know now, before marriage, I would confirm that a woman was willing to do whatever was necessary in terms of HRT to maintain their sexual function through middle age and beyond. Otherwise, you have a good chance of spending the last half of your life in a dead bedroom situation...

1) Madman is correct on many things, but not the effects of ester. 2) Steroidplotter is very inaccurate / unrealistic. Use steroidplanner.com for more realistic modeling. 3) I guarantee there is no dosage of Cypionate taken E4D that will duplicate the effects of your ED propionate protocol...

That could be due to simply taking estradiol too low with the AI effect. If that's the case, you can supplement your way out of that with injectable estradiol. I'm really interested to see the outcomes of these protocols, because they will shed light on key questions, like what is the...

ChatGPT is correct - FSH increases testicle size independently from LH, and you will see greater ball gains with healthy levels of both LH and FSH. You're running on one leg with hCG.

If I were in this situation with the absurd E2 level after injecting a tiny dose of testosterone subq, the very first experiment I would run is to switch to shallow IM. I would use your same gauge needles, at least 1/2", and go straight into the delts, and then repeat labs in a week. There has...

They went big on claims, short on references. Progesterone makes.some sense in theory, and is harmless enough for all to try. Just don't be surprised if you are among the 97% that discontinue, because it either failed to improve anything or made things worse.

If you know anything about Empower, you know their fulfillment turnaround time is abysmal compared to other compounding pharmacies.
