I mean that’s my experience with HRT in a nutshell. Finding success with something then not being able to maintain consistency. I am curious to see my cortisol results though. Last saliva test I did in the spring was super out of whack. My sleep is also a bit hit and miss, but not anymore so...

I’m not sure of the exact science, but in the STTM book they mention taking a dose of T3 a few hours before you wake up as a way to boost cortisol. Since there is no way in hell I’m waking up at 4am to pop a pill I just started taking my time release t3 before bed and then space out my quick...

Any update on your thyroid routine? I’ve been experimenting with taking my time release T3 before bed to try and boost cortisol. Seems to be hit and miss, but I definitely feel a response. Waiting on recent saliva cortisol results. Last spring my AM cortisol tested low though, which might...

@Scoot2300 how did it go with the AI? Did help at all?

So long story short, I’ve had limited success after a year on test cyp and another year and a half on test cream. I’ve felt decent at times, but it usually fades. I’m wondering if I might feel better on a combination of esters like sustanon. Except, sustanon is not available in the US, I...

In hindsight though, it may have had nothing to do with my prolactin. I was also taking omeprazole that week because I was on vacation in Mexico and was eating a ton of spicy food. It’s possible that messed something up as well.

I think it was either 0.25mg or 0.5mg/week. Hard to remember. I don’t understand how people can take prami for depression and Parkinson’s though and not crash their prolactin and feel like shit. On the depression forums a lot of them are taking like 2-3mg/day. I think the addictivness of it is...

Man, hard to remember, it was a while ago.. but either 0.25mg or 0.5mg/week

Holy shit, what are your test levels on that dose? Just 2 clicks to my scrotum alone has my test levels off the charts.

In regards to the prolactin discussion. Caber seems to be the go-to for lowering prolactin. However, perhaps it’s just too strong for the average person without a prolactinoma? I say this because, anecdotally, a year and a half ago while on test cyp, I gave caber a go for a few weeks to try and...

Does anyone notice with HCG that it increases the urge to ejaculate, but not necessarily the urge to have sex? Like it increases the pressure in the testicles and creates a “blue ball” feeling, but doesn’t increase enjoyment of sexual imagery? It’s that second part that I’m desperate to figure...

Have you ever considered giving something like bupropion a try? I’ve been on it for about 6 weeks now and at first it definitely improved my libido, but the effects wore off sort of. It’s know as the “honeymoon” period by bupropion users. Anyways, I’m still on it as I’m pretty sure it’s helping...

How are you feeling with the 250iu daily? I’m wondering if there are people who feels better with a ratio of lower test dose and higher doses oh HCG? Maybe it’s more natural as HCG stimulates the leydig cells so the body can produce its own testosterone? I’d be curious to see if anyone else...

Last I checked, allday chemist has it available

I take 2 clicks for a total of 100mg. It’s not a lot, but I absorb like crazy.

I’ve been in test cream for a while now. Still working on dialing in my protocol, but seeing improvements. I have usually gone with a 1X/day application, applied right after I shower in the AM. But now I’m wondering if I would feel better if I spaced my dose out to 2X/day. Just curious what...

Hey man, you still having success with the progesterone applied to the scrotum? I’ve tried progesterone in the past with varying success, but never tried the scrotal application.

Have you noticed any benefit from bringing your progesterone levels up? Mine too are at the very bottom of range.

What are your symptoms without the pred or HC?

Sounds exactly like what I’m dealing with. It’s only been an issue the past few months. Feels like I’m on a downward spiral. How long have you been feeling like this? Are you on t-cream by chance?

Yep, that’s how it works. It’s pretty simple and results are usually within a week.

I got my saliva cortisol results back last week and I’m super confused. Is this adrenal fatigue? No wonder I’ve been feeling like crap lately. @morpheuz can you shed some light on these results?

Did you have to tell them it was for a job or for athletics?

I am literally dealing with this crap right now. My general practitioner is not seeing patients in person right now because of covid, and minute clinic and urgent care denied me because they apparently don’t do general physicals. It’s absolutely ridiculous and I’ve been out of thyroid medication...

If you read his more recent comments you will find that, unfortunately, his success did not last.

As always, thank you for the very detailed reply! You have great insight. I’m beginning to think you may be correct. It’s easy to get the impression that more is better, especially over at the T-Nation forum where everyone seems to be on 200mg/week. But I’m thinking that getting my levels more...

Hi everyone, not my first post but this seemed the most appropriate section to post this. I just got my latest lab work back, first full set since august. I’m approaching my 2 year mark on trt and I’m wondering where I go from here? First year I was on test cyp 140mg/week and ranged up to 160...

Really? Wow, that is good to know. Thanks!

Well I guess switch back to the regular t3. Although, alldaychemest has been out forever and Defy’s t3 is super expensive, so I’ll have to figure out where to source it. Still not sure if that’s the reason I’ve been feeling like shit or not? But the timing of my switch does add up.

I’m wondering if anyone has noticed less of an effect from time release T3? I switched to time release T3 this fall from the quick release version and I just recently had a full panel of labs done. To my surprise my rt3 had creeped up to 20.8 (9.2-24.1) and my TSH to 2.6 (.450-4.50). No...

Has anyone noticed less of an effect from time released T3? Since switching from standard release to time release my Rt3 has creeped up to 21, TSH to 2.6. Coincidentally, I’ve not been feeling great lately.
