Thanks for the info. So my question would still be: why injecting daily if it's a blend of esters? Would every other day change that much? Just asking because I was thinking to give it a go, since E2 management has been pretty tricky for me and I have symptoms when it goes on the 30s. On the...

I was having back acne and terrible anxiety on that E2 number, and I don't get back acne on a normal T protocol. The only times I got back acne was with HCG and on a daily protocol. With HCG E2 was>100. With daily E2 was 62. So that makes sense to me. DHT can't be the culprit, because it was...

7.5mg x 7 = 52.5 mg weekly 40mg x 2 = 80 mg weekly So, even with way less T, my E2 was more than the double. It didn't make any sense to me back then, but that was it. What's the half life of Sustanon? What about aromatization? More or less than T enanthate?

The DHT hairloss theory is flawed and I did a post about it time ago on this forum. Use the search button. The so called AGA has been renamed MPB recently, due to evidences and study proving it's unrelated to serum androgens level. MPB could have several causes, that's why there's no ONLY one...

Vince, it would be great to see if your E2 will change next bloodwork, if you didn't change anything else.

Thanks for the report. I may give it a go as well.

It actually had the opposite effect in female rats: Treatment with Panax Ginseng Antagonizes the Estrogen Decline in Ovariectomized Mice

An update here. Full spectrum *** oil improved my sleep the first 2 nights, then I went back to the usual. So placebo effect. I've noticed that my gynecomastia got slightly bigger while on it, so that could be due to an increase in E2 provoked by ***. But I don't have a blood test to back it up.

False. Nothing will ever mimic 100% what a healthy body is able to do. Forget about it. Also the claim that daily would give you less aromatizion has been proven absolutely the opposite for me. As low as 7.5 mg per day of enanthate, spiked my E2 to 61 pg\mL, and gave me a pretty bad back acne...

If your 30 years old son was on TRT, someone on this forum would have said to increase the T dose because, with that SHBG, his free E2 is quite low. While we know from Dr. Keith Nicols that we have to have E2>70 and free T at least the double of the range, along with high thyroid hormones...

In your case, you don't know what 250mg of T per week will do on a long term, because that's not TRT. Dr. Crisler, who started his profession treating people coming out from steroid usage, was never going above 200 mg per week, saying he was using that as a protocol for someone with androgens...

Sustanon, nandrolone and DHT compounds for 2 years and a half, along with finasteride for 7 years to counteract one of the side effects. Because obviously you need more drugs to fight the side effects of drugs, right? Result: secondary hypogonadism, that has been resistant to every treatment...

That was his post, go back 2 pages and voilà, you will find it. According to him, worst case scenario he will leave 60 years. Once again, a mild cycle is 300 mg of T every week. This has been discussed time ago in another topic about AIs again, and I had to go to do screenshots on T nation...

This should be a sticky at the beginning of the forum first page.

I was about to do a post with the same content, but you actually did the work for me. Thanks. The great grandfather testosterone levels theory is so flawed and generic that I don't even understand how you can base your treatment on it. And let me share my experience. I've been on sustanon and...

I'm not doing IF anymore, since I can't as I was saying in a previous post. I feel this is related to sleep deprivation, rather than TRT. I've loaded with carbs last night and I slept 6.30 hours continuously and, other than feeling way better, I'm not as hungry and tired as previous days. So...

Ok good luck chasing your perfect E2 number.

Sorry if I sound too harsh, but this doesn't make any sense. It's simply impossible for your to get symptoms like that just for 1 pg/mL higher or lower than what you consider your sweet spot. I saw many posts of people obsessed with E2 levels, just chasing their tails. You're on a highway to...

That would explain my speculation. Also neurologist Matthew Walker speaks in a podcast recorded with Joe Rogan on how poor sleep spikes ghrelin levels and so hunger. That could be a component as well. My problem though is that my energy levels are strictly correlated with food. I feel really...

I did gain weight, but I lost body fats as well, which means muscle gains. It's just that when I get close to meal times I feel really tired because I need food, and then I get better straight after eating. I feel there's a relationship with E2 levels, as I remember having my appetite...

I've been on TRT for 2 years and 3 months now, I don't think it will subside. It's been like that since the beginning.

Hey, another post of mine. I've read that several people on this forum are hungrier after starting TRT, due to the metabolism ramping up. I'm no exception to that and I'm usually hungry for several hours during the day. My issue though is that I feel really tired close to meal times and I...

Yeah I think it's due to the fact your hormones are at best, so better libido equals better sleep. I do think my sleep issues are hormonal. I've been sleeping terribly before and after TRT, and actually insomnia was the ringing bell that made me found out about my low T. The only period I've...

Tried everything. In my case is not a melatonin depletion problem. I used to be in front of TV and computers 5 minutes before falling asleep with no issues. But my problem was waking up in the middle of the night multiple times. I've taken melatonin in many different versions, extended and...

I brought my vitamin D level above 50 with 5000 IU per day from 23 pre-supplementation and my sleep is still terrible. Also be sure to take it in the morning, because high dose vitamin D is stimulating for many people. I've ordered some full spectrum *** oil as suggested in another topic from...

Thanks Nelson, I'll give it a go. I remembered trying it years ago with no success, but it was a different brand. I'm trying cissus quadrangularis at the moment as well, but it takes time to start kicking in. Unfortunately the gyno is real, it's been there since years and it's due to...

Quick update here. After 2 weeks of no zinc, the joints pain has improved a lot. Not totally gone yet, but way better. I'll start again with half dose of zinc supplement, as recommended by the manufacturer. Apart from keeping gynecomastia at bay, I was having more energy throughout the day and...

I wanted to go and do a sensitive test of E2 today, but it seems impossibile to just walk in a lab here in NYC, at least one of these that have the LC/MS test. It's at least a week of waiting time.

It's a shame because it's the only thing working to keep the gynecomastia at bay, but joint pain was terrible today. I'll try to stack it with cissus quadrangularis to see if it fixes it, otherwise I'll have to drop zinc.

I did both 2 months ago and they were fine. So do you suggest to keep being on zinc and copper? I'm on this, double of the suggested dose (20 mg of zinc and 0.8 mg of copper per day) Zinc Supplement - 10x Maximum Absorption (240 Servings) | Ionically Charged Zinc, Nano-Concentrate & Essential...

T enanthate 90 mg per week, divided in 2 injections Magnesium bysglicinate and NAC before bed Vitamin C, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in the morning. That's it. I've been sleeping pretty bad in the last period and I don't know if that contributed to joints pain, as I don't recover well from workouts.
