    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    - I am not sure of all of Primo's impacts, but it seems to me that oxandrolone is the lowest risk anabolic option for what you are after since lowering your T dose should lower your E2. -I was referring to GH secretagogues, not GH, although GH is fine to try to. IME it is lower risk than...

    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    I agree with Nelson that oxandrolone and nandrolone (preferably NPP to start with, IMO) are better add-on options. Primo seems to blunt sex drive in some people, possibly due to its interference with E2 and IMO is overrated unless that doesn't happen for you. Oxandrolone at a low dose like 10-12...

    Ancedotes of feeling better when taking time off injections.. Science behind this?

    Another avenue to explore is the degree to which Testosterone is a "signaling" molecule which trigger effects that last long after the actual T (and possibly metabolites like E) are out of the system. I don't know the biochem in detail, but we have had people here who for example were injecting...

    Skipped 3 pins and felt great

    There are many points of view on this topic, but my two cents is to try going without pinning for as long as you can and then when symptoms reappear, inject a low-moderate dose and repeat the process. T is (among other things) a signaling molecule and some people may do better at much longer...

    Tinnitus

    I find potassium supplementation to be step one for BP. Contrary to popular belief, low salt can also cause high BP in some people. Cold temperatures can also cause a seasonal rise. It seems like trying other meds like telmisartan or possibly an ACEi is worth a try since tinnitus can be...

    Improved transurethral medication for ED.

    ok, thanks I'll check it out. Hopefully they have a telemedicine option since i don't have a regular doctor.

    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...

    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.

    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?

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...
