Echo what Vince Carter said. Would like to see current protocol and latest comprehensive labs and then we can go from there. You may very well need to be in the very upper range but it's impossible to tell at this point.

I'd agree with the subclinical hypthyroidism. Best way to resolve/verify that is to do a therapeutic trial of NDT.

Do you have any thyroid labs to post? I believe excessive T3 could raise it but that's pure speculation at this point.

Echo what Vince Carter said. I'd buy that one except for the fact that I could run through a wall on 350mg of caffeine. Because of that I stick to making my own.

Glad you're here!

That is a pretty decent dose. You have the option of dropping it altogether if you don't need it for fertility purposes, are there's plenty of room to lower the dose. I believe 250 IU's twice a week is or is very close to the minimum effective dose so you may have to tinker with it. If...

Can you email me directly at: [email protected]? I will personally look into it for you.

Numbers look really good to me. I personally (my opinion only) have seen that guys tend to better with a FreeT 30+ but that's just my opinion based on guys I've personally dealt with. Seems like you're pretty close so keep working close with the doc and pay attention to what your body is doing...

My Test was at 100mg twice a week and Deca at 75mg twice per week.

I loved deca lol. No deca dick whatsoever (as long as you run your Test higher than Deca that should not happen). No impact on E2. The only negative at all that i remember was slight water retention, but who knows.........that could have been diet related. Noticed definite strength gains, was...

I tried it but honestly didn't do labwork. I'm currently on NatureThroid which made a world of a difference. I personally noticed nothing with ThyroVanz unfortunately.

There are also Sustained Release options you could try. Could not tell from the post if that's something you've tinkered with or not.

IF he's using AAS dosing then he might be prone to that. If you're using therapeutic dosing then I wouldn't foresee a problem. I personally noticed zero issues with it using therapeutic dosing. In the end though, you won't know unless you try. Just work with your doc closely (as it seems you...

Somehow I think those units got messed up. Probably a total of 1000 IU's per week, or 2 shots of 500 IU's each.

FreeT of 61 with the range being 47-244 is pretty low. Would like to see some dramatic improvements there. I would post all your labs if you can. Normal/In Range does not mean optimized.

Have you guys discussed maybe 5-6 days on, 1-2 days off?

You can use Testosterone stand alone. None of those others necessarily go hand and hand with TRT. You may or may not need either. It's too hard to tell at this point though. We need to see what the T does in isolation for a short period (4-6) weeks.

I've never heard of withdrawals from any peptides at this point. Did you notice anything from the 150mcg dose? Better sleep or............?

I'd skip the hCG and AI for awhile, and like the guys said above, don't guess. Stick with the T for 4-6 weeks and then re-test. You have way too much going on to figure out what is doing what.

That may be a problem in running Deca by itself, but it should not be when run alongside Testosterone. Testosterone needs to be dosed at or above Deca in terms of mg.

Would be interested in what they mean by "adjustments" for age, body mass index, etc...or what the specifics were in making those adjustments.

It was initially recommended for me to take it in the evening, but I ended up taking it in the morning with DHEA. No real written rule on when to take it. So the evening would appear to be a better choice for you.

At the end of the day you will probably need to do a trial run to see how it works for you. There have been a variety of responses reported here using Prop.

I would focus on whether or not they are going to give you a cookie cutter protocol or actually treat you as an individual. That's one of the biggest things to consider if not THE biggest thing to consider. Wouldn't hurt to see a little bit more extensive labwork including thyroid. You can check...

Agreed. And there's no reason for concern at 48.5 either. I would let your body adapt to the protocol and then let's see the next HCT reading.

As said above, I'd look into the scrotal application as well. I have yet to hear of guys, when it's dosed properly, having problems with that method for some reason. Seems to be a game changer for many guys. Keep us posted if you try it please.

What was said above...............when you mention potential downstream effects, are you referring to the benefits of backfilling the pathways, so to speak? Personally I get some benefits from hCG no doubt, but got even more benefits adding in DHEA and Pregnenolone on top of the hCG. It's a very...

Feel free to post your protocol, symptoms and any recent labwork you have and you should get some feedback right here in this part of the forum as well. Glad you're here.

Your'e taking a total of 1.5mg per week? Even on 100mg twice per week that it quite excessive. You sure your e2 (sensitive) is 57?

Don't know the specific answer to your question, but I know that with no pregnenolone or too much i get the same experience you do. 25mg seems to hit the spot just right for me. I do believe, based on everything I've read and heard from good docs, that there's a need to backfill with both DHEA &...

I'd titrate up slowly like you are doing. If your symptoms aren't gone then there's definitely room to improve your FT3. Don't chase numbers ;-)
