When did you start to notice your muscles getting harder? I can see mine are pretty bloated compared to before I was on TRT.

I’m on my second day off (53 hours since last dose) and I feel really really good. I started getting this tingling sensation in my testicles yesterday afternoon/evening. But it feels like stuff is getting turned on. Today it has gotten much stronger though, and based on gel half life I should be...

Back to baseline in 8 days? Damn, I’m quite surprised by that. People talk about horror stories after stopping injectable, maybe they should just take gel for the interim rather than serms. Was that Jatenzo if I recall correctly? How do you feel off?

I’ve been on TRT for coming up to 3 years. Due to having various issues with it, I am considering trying to come off it. I was on cypionate for 1.5 years, then sustanon for a year and now testogel for last 4/5 months. I enquired about stopping with my clinic and they said that gel was less...

It's possible that this is something else, but I find that when my levels rise after dosing testosterone, I get this sensation of my head/face getting quite tight. I was wondering if this is some sort of migraine. I have seen that estrogen levels are connected to migraines. Has anyone else...

After having issues with injection absorption, I recently switched to testogel and the results have been surprisingly good. Using the technique of showering, exfoliating and applying lotion, it feels like my levels have skyrocketed and stay elevated well into the next day. I am pretty sure that...

I am going to try gel to see if it helps. I would try cream but my clinic doesn't prescribe because they aren't convinced it's safe at the moment. I am wondering if anyone has opinion on whether the gel will still have the same aromatization issue in the fat. Obviously fat cells are just below...

When I first started TRT I was advised to do subq which had terrible results from very high e2. For some reason, when test oil is absorbed into my body through fat cells this seems to happen. I also can't drink alcohol on TRT because it sky rockets my estrogen and I feel terrible and can't fall...

Does anyone know about the safety of using cialis with clonidine or has used them together themselves? I understand blood pressure may drop too low but beyond that is it safe?

I should point out thar I'm using a fixed needle. My dose is small so I found daily injections with a non fixed needle was hard to keep the dose stable each day.

I am someone who IM injections work far better than subq subjectively speaking. For the last couple of years I have been injecting in the lowers point of my outer quads daily and found this the best spot as there is basically no fat under the skin. Annoyingly scar tissue has built up there which...

I've read about SSRIs have some effect on various sex hormones. I've started recently Zoloft for anxiety but can't help but feel like it's doing weird things to my hormones. This isn't my first time on Zoloft, I have been on it in the past but when prior to TRT. Is anyone here on TRT with and...

I've found the culprit... The other day I found that I felt better towards the evening, more typical of my prior TRT experience. I also realized that I had less coffee that day, 2 cups instead of 3. I've seeing something about caffeine and SHBG but didn't think too much into it. Another thing...

I think this could be it. I stopped dropping weight a while ago, so have this feeling even with high carbs/calories. Got a test on Friday, but only testosterone, e2 and FBC.

I have read that higher bodyfat raises leptin and that higher leptin can lower SHBG. Does this mean that losing bodyfat can raise SHBG? I have cut down from 85 to 78kg but also found that I needed to up my daily dose slightly. I have noticed another observation that is really strange. After I...

Would doing a lot of endurance exercise "use up more testosterone"? Could exposure of testosterone to air/oxygen make it lose potency? I'm asking these questions as I sometimes find my stored (in multi dose vial) ampoules of sustanon feel like they can get weaker rapidly or spoiled in some...

I’ve been on trt for 2 years but haven’t found a protocol that really works for me. I’ve done a few posts about these issues already. Cypionate and enthanate give me palpitations (a constant hard beating heart) but sustanon doesn’t which I presume is down to the benzyl benzoate as that is the...

I believe this could be it, just because there is a strong mental restlessness effect I get when hot. On another forum someone said that the symptoms sounded similar to when they overdosed on T4. Lowering dose isn't an option as I am already on the minimum effective dose. I am now wondering if...

Are you still on Perrigo having that sensation? I switched to sustanon and it went away. However, I have been having other issues with sustanon so a couple of days ago I decided to try out a daily dose of cypionate again. The heart sensation came back. I'm not sure if this is a problem I have...

I've stopped taking creatine and cialis but still getting this pretty badly. Even on non workout days I'm getting this, it seems the longer I've been on sustanon the worse it has gotten. I'm do daily shots and it gets markedly worse at night, which I presume correlates with when the medication...

Today I have noticed that pieces of rubber from the stopper on my vial have got into the vial itself. I am using Sustanon and storing ampoules in a multi use vial. Does this matter? Should the vial be discarded? Could I withdraw using a filter needle and put the oil into another vial?

A couple of months ago I made the switch from cypionate to sustanon, doing 10mg a day. I have also started going to the gym again. I'm finding that on workout days I overheat in the evening and struggle to fall asleep. I don't have this problem as badly when I go for a run. I haven't done an...

Now was typo for no, my apologies.

For anyone following or interested, I’ve switched to sustanon, doing daily shots like I was on cypionate. I have found this heart pounding issue and vasodilating issue has basically gone. Looking at the chemical make up of both it seems that aside from esters, the only difference is that...

I understand that testosterone has a shelf life, I am trying to understand what would make it weaken (ie temperature, light etc). Would injecting air into a vial weaken it? I experimented with injecting air into the vial a few times (maybe 5) to see if it would react with extra components in it...

I have found injecting air and replacing it 24 hours later a few times has sorted the issue out for me. I’m no chemist but could the exposure of alcohol to oxygen injecting in be oxygenating it somehow?

For anyone interested, I have found something that has actually reduced the issue I have been having with the cypionate. When I first opened the vial the heart pounding effect was strongest and then subsequentially got a little bit weaker although it was still strong. It made me think that...

Having a look around in forums and Reddit at people with heart symptoms from testosterone, it seems to be that they are more often on cypionate than not. I’m not sure if that’s a coincidence or perhaps because more people are on cypionate than other forms of testosterone.

Is the muscle difference large, or just a little extra? Do you think looking leaner was related to water retention?

Does the peak and trough with gel feel bad? And in regards to the muscle are we talking injections being twice as effective or more of a 10-20% boost?

I am going to try testogel to see if it has less side effects in place of cypionate which causes me a bounding pulse. I was wondering, provided I can absorb the gel about a couple of things: 1. Does gel (not applied to scrotum) increase DHT proportionately more than injections? I saw in a...
