I'm in a similar boat to you. Mid/late 30s w number of injuries accumulated over the years. Most recently I partially tore my MCL skiing. Been running between 250-500 mcg of bpc 157 daily into the knee for the past four weeks along with 4mg tb500 weekly (split in two doses). Also started...

Curious what you ended up doing with regards to nandrolone and/or where your research lead you.

Any thoughts as to dosage or duration of nandrolone use at which point you'd become concerned with LVH?

Yes, I dropped the AI and lowered my dose. Didn't make sense to me either but the only two times Total T levels have come back lower (significantly) than I expected I've been on an AI. Never been surprised by blood work when not taking an AI. Strange but I've found a few instances of other...

I had a similar experience lately where an increase in AI pushed my Total T much lower than I would have guessed. If you look around online you'll find a few similar experiences. Obviously we know AI's can push free T low but the notion that they can also push total T down is much less common...

I was in a very similar situation to you, mid range t but very low free t. Started trt about 13 months ago after many years of research and multiple doctors telling me I was "normal". One of the best decisions I've ever made. Changed my life. I'm 36.

Nice to see some accounts of daily prop use. Look forward to following along.

Check prolactin. I'm pretty sure nandrolone can spike it dramatically.

Thanks for the response. And yes, I have dropped by dose back down dramatically as I never intended to run it at an extremely high dosage for an extended period of time. Looking back over my spreadsheet of results from the past 8 years I've only been surprised by my test results one other...

Only because it is often part of the packaged bloodtest. I have no interest in seeing it but it's cheaper to have it included than ordering each test seperately.

Wow. Had a bit of extra test cyp from testing a lower dose for an extended period of time. Decided to bump it up to 100mg EOD to better understand supraphysiological testosterone and see how I would feel mentally/physically. Was not expecting this. Total Testosterone 1785 Sensitive Estradiol...

Peaking at 12 hours would seem to be ideal for daily injections as it would much more closely mimic the natural daily fluctuations. Sounds like a good way to get the same benefit of gels/creams without the associated downsides.

No idea on Canada. I've reached out to a couple compounding pharmacies in the US but haven't heard anything back...

Any of you guys concerned about the possibility of Left ventricular hypertrophy when using deca?

Thanks, I read that thread as well but I'm asking specifically about Testosterone Acetate and NOT Trestolone Acetate.

Anyone tried Testosterone Acetate? Looks like it may be an ideal choice for those of us on daily or EOD injections. Short half life and none of the pain associated with Testosterone Propionate. Not sure if any of the brand names are sold in the US but I imagine any compounding pharmacy could...

Did you have a challenge getting your doc to script the nandrolone? If you don't mind me asking what do you pay for a vial?

Don't know why but I'm fascinated by nandrolone. Love hearing these anecdotes.

Not that I'm aware of. Cyp and Enanthate are essentially the same half life so Prop seems like the way to go if pain isn't too bad. Even EOD might make sense to try Prop.

Have any of you on daily injections tried/considered switching to test propionate? When I was on daily injections (now on EOD) I had considered that as the next step. Seems like the most logical way to get the benefits of injection while also attempting to more closely mimic the body's natural...

Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.

I was fortunate, after multiple attempts, to find a local doctor who was willing to work with, and listen, to me. That said I would not hesitate to go the Defy route or similar if my situation changes. If the first doc shuts you down move on to the next until you find someone willing to...

I'm 36 now and was your age when I first started studying my bloodwork. You're absolutely right that you're "stuck with it for life" and I understand the concern/commitment. That said, you have a choice that only you can make, stick with low levels for life or stick with optimized levels for...

I was in a similar spot to you for about 5 years before finally deciding to pull the trigger on TRT. Low/mid range T but high SHBG and low free t. Your DHEA is surprisingly high. Probably worth a more extensive blood panel before making any decisions. Been on TRT for almost a year now, one...

Been about six months since I last checked it, but last level was 68.7 w/ range of 30-80 ng/mL. That was with 5000 iu Vitamin D. Given that its now winter and I never see the sun I've bumped that up to 10,000 iu. Haven't tried Niacin in a long time, perhaps I should give it another go...

No worries, I appreciate the feedback.

I appreciate that, trt was not a decision I took/take lightly so I better damn well back it up with data. Wasn't aware of a relationship before you mentioned it, something else to research. I'm 36.

Thought my A1c would come down more than it has. Sat right at 5.6 before starting metformin but even after months of use it's only down to 5.4. Anything HDL or LDL related that you've been able to verify as being beneficial through labs?

Feeling pretty good, bit emotional from time to time. Tired in the afternoon but hopefully tweaking the thyroid dose a bit will help with that. Testosterone is still high, as you mentioned, even after dropping the dose down to 140mg a week... Can't get my damn LDL and HDL in line.

Let's try that again, hopefully this adds the test results into the body of post instead of as attachments. Found it interesting that E2 is about the same as it was with T dose 25%-30% higher, so looks like hcg does increase my e2 levels but not to the extent I first assumed. Going to bump...

Been on 40mg EOD and 600IU HCG on every other shot day. Also on 25mg of DHEA 2x daily. Puts weekly dose at 140mg of T (lowest I've tried) and 1050 IU HCG.
