    Testavan 2h/24h post application lab results.

    How did it go? It seems the natural daily fluctuation in young males tends to be something like 30%, with this gel the difference is way more, and also my own anecdotal expreriments say that endogenous production is not activated during 12-24hrs post testavan application.

    High testosterone is like … finasteride? Say what!

    I'm planning on trying out testavan gel soon, since studies claim it comes back to baseline after 12hrs, applied in the morning, there might be some endogenous activity during the night, at the very least large daily fluctuation in levels. Will take LH in the morning, who knows it might not be...

    TRT Numbers

    Yes it's absolutely wise to check both 4 hours after and 24 after to see if the pharmacology holds true. Those are averages anyway.

    TRT Numbers

    You're probably using androgel 1.62%? There is actually pharmacology claiming the levels with gels are not fluctuating as much as one would think. One exception is testavan gel that peaks fast. And then there is Testavan

    Heart Palpitations and AFIB in Older Men on Testosterone: Signals from TRAVERSE

    After matching, 10,511 men who experienced an any increase in Hct after initiating TTh and an equal number of controls who did have an increase in Hct were included. Compared to controls who did not have an increase in Hct after starting TTh, the men who had an increase in subsequent Hct had a...

    100 mg week testosterone

    In other words 30-40mg twice a week Good point, also if enanthate is non-pharma you never know, most often you'd probably get less though.

    WAS: 5 months post stopping TRT cold turkey bloodwork , NOW: Wife No Longer Wants Sex

    Don't know if you are looking for encouragement or opinions but i say you are totally justified to have your needs met elsewhere after trying to resolve matters with her, for one she is not fullfilling her wifely duties, sex and at the very least intimacy is a big part of good health and...

    Should I continue trt or not?

    Hmm, periodic as in every two weeks...almost sounds like 200mg enanthate or cypionate every 2 weeks :)

    Going to give nebido another shot! Split protocol this time...

    At one point i tried for a couple of months 60mg nebido weekly on glute fat, result was very low levels at through. Might be just me.

    Going to give nebido another shot! Split protocol this time...

    Nice write up, i'm actually pretty convinced by now that nebido is not what it is on paper, meaning the curve is not linear, each dose does leave a residue for much longer time than shorter esters, but the bulk of any dose peaks FAST, and comes down fast, in my case 6 days after 1000mg dose my...

    Salt, Healthy Blood Pressure Levels, and Libido: Highlights from the book The Salt Fix

    I've also been using potassium enriched salt, obv i'm not getting those precious trace minerals, but hard to say if extra potassium is a bigger advantage, the invention of sodium salt was a big deal decades ago allegedly, a way to further reduce sodium intake after it had been figured out that...
