You've been super helpful and inspiring. I'm certainly going to try a nandrolone based protocol and titrate up the T to meet the estrogen needs. Thinking outside of the box feels liberating. I've been messing with the same few tools for years more or less. Did you always add Primo, and if...

Do you mind sharing what kind of protocol you were using? A lot of people start with a Test base and add a little Nandrolone. This seems to make people have a really hard time. Others on forums talk about starting with Nandrolone only and then adding enough Test to aromatize to meet their...

Thank you for this. I’ve never really considered a Nandrolone based protocol. I always saw guys on here talking about it and it seemed like a big departure from the standard wisdom. But like you said, time to think out of the box. There is no giving up here. I did try to come off TRT during...

I’ve been on TRT 5 years. If I could undo one mistake in my life it would be to never walk into that Low T clinic. I’ve tried every combination of things but as soon as I go above my body’s natural test level, my E skyrockets. Worst part is that I’m an AI hyper-responder (See screen name...

Can anyone provide a theory for my sleep disturbance? I don't have trouble falling asleep, but I wake up around 3AM and realize that my mind has been actively working on a problem for the hour before. Although I am getting some sleep, it's not very restful. Does anyone have evidence that this is...

Does anyone disagree with this? I may be ignorant, but this matches my understanding.

I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t find the missing piece with your thyroid. Im Curious if you ever really tried the less frequent injections like you mention above? It very much goes against the flow of the advice most people give to try our best to mimic nature, but I’ve been thinking I might...

I’m getting my thyroid checked next week for various reasons (sore joints, weight gain, brain fog) all of which could be E2 symptoms (high, low.. who knows) I’m wondering if any of the low SHBG guys had any improvement after getting their thyroid levels right?

Are you taking Cialis?

When I take Cialis daily, even a small amount like 2.5mg, my joints start to pop and my knees get really painful. My skin dries up and I feel a lot of unexplained anxiety. I even get dandruff problems from the DHT. I think for some people Cialis’ effect of blocking estrogen production can be...

I think this is true, but you can’t ignore that people on this forum already made the choice to wreck our hormonal homeostasis by taking exogenous Testosterone. The downstream effects of that very much can and do effect libido and erection. I wish I could go back and not mess with my hormones...

Were you taking Cialis daily (frequently) when you found that you had inexplicable estrogen?

I hadn’t learned about Natesto before reading your post. I see a lot of guys on Reddit hating on it because they only consider injections valid for some reason. Yawn. I hear your concern about low trough levels and it makes me wonder about a combination of maintaining a baseline T with low...

Thank you for your thoughful response. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

Anecdotally a lot of guys on here feel best when they first alter their protocol in some way or another, but a few days or a week later they are back to sub-optimal experiences. I've been an EOD injector for years, but I've been thinking about how there are tons of guys going to the commercial...
