    Believe progesterone messed me up, need some advice on what might be going on.

    An old comment from @Nelson Vergel l am 100 percent opposed to taking progesterone in any form or dose. It can make you fat, impotent, create blood clots, etc" https://www.excelmale.com/threads/progesterone-for-men.669/post-1158

    Results from my ultrasound of right Achilles tendon.

    I thought I'd give another update. I'm on my feet all day and put many miles on my legs. Plus I do work out almost daily. Still my Achilles tendon is healed.

    Natural: why is my test so high?

    Of course some men need very little testing or Labs because they feel good. Others for whatever reason never feel good no matter how many times they adjust their protocol. That was like me with tendonitis in my Achilles tendon I tried acupuncture, therapy, a chiropractor and compression bags...

    Natural: why is my test so high?

    Now that he is off of 3th shift. He's no longer tired. So I'm sure he won't get his levels checked again.

    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    I thought the study said long-term DHEA therapy in postmenopausal women. Maybe I misread.

    Natural: why is my test so high?

    One of my buddies who's in his '60s had his testosterone check because he was tired. He's type 2 diabetic, on blood pressure meds and he's total T is just over a thousand. Not bad for an old man. He did not have his free T checked.

    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    Actually in the study. Did not look good for improved libido. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9113789/#:~:text=These%20observations%20are%20important%20to,also%20need%20to%20be%20considered.

    Dosage for women's testosterone ?

    If I remember right. Dhea increases testosterone in women and estrogen in men. In post menopause women, it also raises estrogen.

    Lowering trt dose/ increasing frequency of injections question

    That's probably one of the reasons

    Different oils for Testosterone Proprionate

    Check sesame seed oil. I believe big pharma does use that one.

    Is Testesterone Cypionate available from big pharms

    I have zero issues with grapeseed oil. I do not believe it's the best though. I believe big pharma also uses a sesame seed oil which might be better.

    My Father is 70 years old and we just got his labs done. I'd like your advice

    Personally, I don't believe he needs TRT. He does need to control his diet. If he could go on a low-carb diet it would definitely help his diabetes. It would be scary to have that high of a A1C.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
