Wow, interesting. I suspect the Diktator cream is also bunk as I stated before. I can vouch for Alphagels though - there's definitely DHT in there.

Congratulations! I guess the Indian hCG works pretty well! Which brand were you on when you conceived though? You didn't think you would get a simple congrats without us trying to extract some useful information did you?

No clue how it does it, but it does, for SOME people: https://www.excelmale.com/threads/a-cautionary-tale.30995/post-287446

It's well known that beta-blockers allow vampires walk in the daylight by reducing the oxidative stress associated with UV light exposure. Dropping the beta-blocker then would have unmasked your underlying vampirism. Additionally, iron is toxic to vampires unless consumed as fresh blood. We...

How you are feeling is the crucial context we are missing here, without which your lab numbers are meaningless.

Both of these can negatively affect sexual function and should be dropped to determine whether they're playing a role in your issues.

Some interesting AI answers to my question, "Does DHT or Estradiol raise dopamine levels more in the brain?" Research shows that estradiol has a more pronounced effect on increasing dopamine activity compared to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in various brain regions. 1. Estradiol has been shown...

50 mg DHEA is a hefty dose and might be contributing to the high E2. What's the purpose behind that? Might be another thing to try dropping or reducing now that you're taking hCG.

It's probably not too different from test E right now but certainly better than test C, although I was never able to dose cypionate above like 80-something mg weekly due to intolerable side effects with that ester. Sleep is good with prop and estrogen sides have strangely disappeared. I'm...

First, I am not able to use testosterone cream, because it somehow causes severe indigestion/GERD symptoms. I thought it was the high DHT that was responsible, until I started experimenting with pure DHT, which does not cause it. My suspicion now is that it's actually a high spike of free E2...

What is the evidence for this statement? The majority of papers I can find on the relationship between DHT and collagen indicate DHT stimulates collagen production through the androgen receptor, similar to other androgens. This one too - who are these "alot of guys" and where do they discuss...

This Alphagels product is starting to grow on me after some early libido and erectile benefits. Tolerance might also be developing to the skin irritation.

Yes - it's actually been 25 mg a day for the last couple months. Feeling good aside from sexual stuff that I'm still working on. I'm experimenting with DHT gel now for that.

Yes - he wants to sell the source list, as well as encourage people to sign up for consultations and receive sources that way. Most likely QSC I think.

No. Your T/E2 ratio is low though. If you're injecting subq, I would switch to IM. See what you can do to lose bodyfat and get the aromatization under control. I would not take an AI just to reduce the E2 on paper. How you feel is far more important than the numbers, and all you've posted so...

I would Would you rather spend a little time with levels too high or too low? That's the question. Personally, I would start with the 50 mg this coming Monday.

Increase injection frequency, switch from IM to subq, lower dose (as you can see, I didn't list this option first), change administration method to something less prone to increase HCT. Topicals raise hematocrit less than injections, oral testosterone raises HCT less than both (only 0.003% of...

I only tried it for a couple days so far and I was doing a couple other things at that time so I don't have any conclusions on it yet, other than an immediate stimulant effect I noticed. New Cortex video on DHT effects, mostly positive, with some negatives he observed after pushing it too high:

You might want to start around 100 mg weekly if you want to err on the side of caution with regard to side effects.

I think each individual provider has their own preferences. Mine started me on 40 mg EOD (140 mg weekly). I told them I wanted to try enanthate, so that's what they gave me. They leave it up to you whether you want to do subq or IM. In retrospect, it was a pretty good protocol and a...

Why those locations? Would you be expecting a lypolytic effect by applying to these areas?

No idea! TrevorTRT said above that it contains DMSO, but I'm not sure how he learned that, because I don't see the list of ingredients published anywhere. Alphagel also has a very low viscosity. It seems like grapeseed oil or something similar. If you aren't careful, it can easily run down...

I ran a lab test with the Alphagels 20% DHT gel. I used 1 ml in the evening before the test, used 1 ml the morning of the test, and then went and had the test performed about 5 hours after the morning application. 317 ng/dL was the result. I was expecting higher, given I hit 340 ng/dL with...

Is this an imposter @Gman86 ?

Have you considered the possibility that your urinary calcium is elevated due to your severely hypogonadal status? Low estrogen causes calcium loss in the urine, as your bones start disintegrating like a postmenopausal woman.

Depressed mood, loss of libido, joint pain, dry skin, fatigue, irritability.

Estrogen too high will kill your boners. Your E2 will have dropped significantly without the hCG.

The brand is Pharmacom which should get you halfway there.

This wouldn't be a big deal if it turns out to be the case. You can get estradiol more easily than testosterone as it is not a controlled substance.

I concur with the others - try stopping tadalafil and garlic, retest in a month. You aren't suspecting tadalafil because it didn't crash your estrogen in the beginning, however, things can change over time. It seems the aging process renders us increasingly susceptible to adverse effects from...
