If ur feeling good with no sides and health markers are good, don’t mess with success….I personally feel like crap with doses over about 80 mg a week….but that’s me…
I always suggest trying to reduce E2 through dose reduction when necessary, FROM MY EXPERIENCE….I had hell trying to fine tune the dose of AI and ended up on a yo-yo merry go round with it….along the way I found felt better (not perfect) with lower test levels…
I wouldn’t worry about it if you aren’t having serious symptoms….AIs are necessary for some people, but you are still getting settled in and it takes some time…MANY people find it difficult to find the right spot with an AI, and in my experience I ended up on a yo yo where I’d feel good awhile...
I wouldn’t do it yet….go to a doc that knows what to look for in the way of other factors that may be causing your issue….dont shut down a working system at 30 yoa when your only symptom is libido related. As stated, more T doesn’t necessarily solve that problem.
I’m going to say with emphasis….DO NOT go on TRT with those numbers and the only symptom you listed as low libido. I don’t care what anybody here says, with a 1200 TT your libido problem is almost assuredly not related to insufficient T….explore all other avenues of anything that could be...
I wish sub q worked for me….I tried it for a couple of months and didn’t change anything other than injection location (stomach)….TT level dropped from 700s to 300s and curiously e2 lowered slightly, but only by a few points….guess I have thick fat or something….
Since you are on here….you mentioned in another post that you experienced erectile issues initially with the cream and it abated with time….how long does it take in your experience?? As I stated, I felt better overall on the cream at levels I don’t usually tolerate on injections, however both...
It could be that….and like I admitted I didn’t give 50 mg (one click) long enough more than likely to let things settle….this probably sounds stupid to some, but of all the sides I have gotten before getting this halfway figured out (for me), erection issues is the one I won’t tolerate for...
I’ve never done daily, but from what I’ve read and my understanding of the PKs of the esters, don’t be surprised if ur levels come out higher than you think….but it sounds like a good place to start….
No doubt “dose” is relative to each individual….I hardly check FT anymore, but TT is usually in the 700-800 Range, E2 high 20s to low 30s….on injections if I go any higher than that it aggravates pre existing anxiety and results in PVCs and just a “wired but tired” feeling….the interesting thing...
I inject shallow IM in the delt or quad on Sunday and Wednesday….35-40 mg each injection. I started at 200 mg a week and have been on 150, 120, 100 and 60 as my other doses, along with the mentioned trial of cream….I wasted several years messing with higher doses / AIs, etc. before finally...
I honestly cant tell you why for sure, but I normally don’t handle my levels being that high on injections very well….it jacks me up, worsens anxiety and actually worsens “brain fog”…..the cream gave me a burst of energy but just felt “cleaner” for lack of a better word, at levels that I cannot...
I personally think some people just don’t react well to higher levels of testosterone or it’s metabolites and they don’t get positive results….this, combined with unrealistic expectations, as previously stated, leaves many figuring it’s not worth the hassle. I tried to go off (twice) until I...
At the risk of sounding like I’m “blaming” estrogen, It was around 60 and my estrone was sky high (I don’t remember the number) on the 100 mg a day….and I may not have been patient enough with the 50 mg to let things settle….on injections I take 70-80 mg a week and my E2 is always in the high...
Yes…one click (50 mg) from Empower got me to 720 TT five hours after application….I never tried it anywhere else except for inner thigh and my levels dipped bad (200’s with 100 mg)….I felt better on cream in most ways OTHER than the erectile function issues….Ive read that issue will go away with...
I don’t handle high levels on injections very well, so I started with 50 mg 2x day….was around 1200 w FT at 30, DHT was 250, E2 at upper 50s….dropped down to just one click a day and was 720 total 5 hrs after application….
You still on the cream? I thought I remembered you saying something about going back to shots…I’ve been thinking about another run with the cream and being more patient with it. I felt better in most ways except erectile function seems to go to shit….curious if it will correct if I give it...
That’s me to a T….I can get by with low carb as long as I’m not doing any vigorous exercise…I’m far from being able to tolerate the volume in the weight room I used to be able to handle, but on lifting or interval days I gotta have some carbs or I feel like a limp d!@k….
For some reason I seem to do better when I eat everything in “moderation” and just stay away from the sweets and simple processed sugars….Ive seen several folks thrive on a low carb “keto” diet and it makes me green with envy….I just seem to have no energy without carbs and actually feel fatter...
Not saying this will work, but I personally had trouble with libido on a higher dose…I know 140 wk is not THAT high, but it looks like your FT is above range….sometimes guys paradoxically have trouble at higher levels….you can always go back up if it doesn’t help…
If I had the funds I would undoubtedly attempt to take care of myself so I could enjoy it as long as possible….but I highly doubt I’d be obsessed to the point of taking over 100 pills and wearing what amounts to a cock ring every night! And while you can undoubtedly shave years off of your life...
I saw a quote in a book once where a doctor said something to the effect of “if you are taking insulin so you can keep eating pastries you are out of your mind”….I don’t know much about this doc, but it looks like he’s taking way too many pills to manage side effects of too much anabolic...
Don’t be surprised if you have bladder spasms at first when you start being able to urinate again….that’s a lot of fun, but without meds it settled down after a day or so.
