Is my ED physical, psychological or hormonal?
A general comment; erection quality is always a combination of things across the spectrum you listed, as well as others such as pheromone-like signaling from your partner. My approach and recommendation is to always be looking to maximize all of them as best you can. It's way too complicated to...- Guided_by_Voices

Took 4 days off my EOD injections and feel great. Need advice
As Funk implies, there are simply too many variables and too little understanding of them to know what will happen, especially at the individual level, without experimentation. We have had posters here who seemed to do with injections at fairly long intervals so you may be one of those people.- Guided_by_Voices

Tinnitus
Do you have a home montitor and have you done multiple readings at a time to see the fluctuation? What have you tried to bring it down?- Guided_by_Voices

Switched from TRT to Enclomiphene...surprising results
Early in my TRT journey I used to come off for 6-8 weeks per year, and 6 weeks was usually not enough to recover my pre-TRT levels, so waiting some more and upping your dose (if it does not produce negative symptoms) seems reasonable. Also consider what else might affect your levels such as...- Guided_by_Voices

Prescribed 200mg of Nandrolone
If you were in a good place with the 60mg, I see no reason to change. Consider yourself lucky to be dialed in and don't change for the sake of change. You can use the higher script to build up a back-up supply. If you raise the Nandrolone dose, you might also be fine on a lower T dose if your E2...- Guided_by_Voices

Improved transurethral medication for ED.
So what does that work out to for cost per use? I experimented with something similar from a different pharmacy just to have as fallback plan, but the price worked out to about $35 per use which is way more expensive than bimix per dose (which I don't use, but which would be the alternative for...- Guided_by_Voices

PT 141 works great, maybe to good
Yes, lower the dose. I'm a believer in stating with 100-300 micrograms. Gradually adjust up if necessary and spread the dosing out as well, subject to experimentation. Also dial back cialis and viagra if you're on those. But most importantly, be grateful it works for you. Remember that millions...- Guided_by_Voices

HCG + Clomid or HCG only ?
IMO, if you are in a good place, stay there (although your HCG dose sounds kind of hefty and the Tamox is not a common protocol). There are other things you can try which are non-hormonal and which may allow you to fine-tune your situation, such as Nitric Oxide supplementation and PT-141.- Guided_by_Voices

Pituitary restart while on TRT: promising initial results with GnRH plus enclomiphene
This is very interesting and could explain a lot of why people in poor metabolic health do not produce enough T. Avoiding chronically elevated insulin and glucose is something we've talked about elsewhere but not in the context of this mechanism IIRC. However, since activity, especially moderate...- Guided_by_Voices

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
Note that the study looked at "normal" women. What applies on average to "normal' people may not apply to special exception cases, which is what Belekas' SO's situation sounds like. The bottom line is that as is almost always the case, there is no substitute for experimentation once the obvious...- Guided_by_Voices

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
Both DHEA and pregnenolone are upstream of e2 in the hormonal cascade, so perhaps they will help if supplementation is not working due to some sort to of absorption issue. A pure guess on dosage would be 10-25mg to start with and then adjust from there based on results. Also, if something is...- Guided_by_Voices

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
I certainly hope you find something that works. I remember hearing years ago that DHEA in women almost entirely converts to some form of estrogen, so that's why I mentioned it.- Guided_by_Voices

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
I apologize if you covered this elsewhere, but have you tried a small dose (e.g. 3mg) of Oxandrolone and/or DHEA? I have heard many reports of Oxandrolone helping women's libido.- Guided_by_Voices

Weight gain while running calorie deficit
Intra-muscular water retention would explain it, as could refill of glycogen stores if you were low to start with. Also note that unless you are actually testing your metabolic rate with a device for that purpose (Breezing unit?) then you don't really know if you are in a deficit. If you want to...- Guided_by_Voices

Variable-resistance training
I take bands to the gym and use chains(which I prefer) at home. Bands seem like they would be cumbersome with most machines.- Guided_by_Voices
