Exciting results! My DHT cream is working its way through the mail system right now - looking forward to replicating this myself. Which component of the protocol will you be continuing with daily, and which will you reserve for special occasions? What does your dosing of DHT and prop look...

I tried some standard 100 mg/mL prop yesterday with benzyl benzoate to compare. I felt more stimulated than normal in the early part of the day, developed the usual LPR / reflux symptoms I get with benzyl benzoate, then energy and mood crashed in the evening. I woke up this morning feeling...

LOL, this is the one. We just need one more cycle of stubborn belligerence and rule-breaking to get there! Aloetard: I know you planned to keep your e2 in a reasonable range going forward, but what do you say about letting the freak flag fly one last time?

This is not an accurate characterization of hCG's effects on libido, if you are considering the totality of anecdotal data. hCG has more of a reputation for improving libido actually. There are men for whom hCG lowers libido, perhaps because E2 becomes excessive or for other reasons, but this...

I've suffered with joint pain for much of my adult life, at times severe. I've tested positive for rheumatoid factor, sometimes had a positive ANA and sometimes not. CRP and ESR were never elevated. I've determined now that it is caused by eating too much carby foods that are not meat...

More protein! Alot more protein. We can debate carb/fat ratio, but I think everyone will agree you are falling far short of where you need to be on protein.

LOL WTF is this???

I would just wait and see what happens. I think there's a good chance you adapt to the change and recover your erections given more time.

10-15% range IMO

Your custom title "Decent Sized Member" is hilarious. lol

If you know me, you know I'm not a big fan of psychiatric medication: https://www.excelmale.com/threads/the-case-against-antidepressants.25994/

I'm personally having my best success with mood and overall well-being using propionate vs. longer esters, and this seems pretty common. Something you might try if you haven't yet. This is for sure the most powerful lever you can pull to influence mental health. I would rank exercise a close...

My fasting insulin was 5.7 uIU/mL in 2021 and 3.1 this year. I was on my carnivore w/ minor fruit diet (50 - 100 g range for carbs daily) in both cases. I think the improvement this year probably reflects the influence of testosterone and regular exercise, as the diet was the same in both cases.

I think there's a decent counterargument to make here but it wouldn't serve the greater good to do so. Better that people believe UGL products are dangerous, go through their physicians for medication and stay out of trouble.

You probably need to do something else to control estrogen if you've exhausted the one spot in your body that worked. You can start with the mildest options, like calcium D-Glucarate, tadalafil, zinc, and work your way up to heavier hitting drugs if needed. Or, you can cut down to a lower body...

I'm so glad he's back. There was a big hole in the ExcelMale roster that only a jacked data science nerd with a bad attitude could fill.

I haven't, but thanks for the tip. Not exactly under normal circumstances. What I do have seems to be a permanent intolerance for larger doses of pre-formed vitamin A (like retinyl palmitate). If I take even 5000 IU for a couple days, my skin will start drying out and my lips will start...

It's interesting how they avoid making any negative statements regarding progesterone's effect on metabolic health when it seems pretty clearly negative. They just call it "unique effects on glucose metabolism". Uniquely bad:

See, this is what a doctor says when they actually know what they're doing with Tri-Mix. Defy also gives you the phenylephrine antidote with any first time Tri-Mix script.

It doesn't only act like high-dose Vitamin A. It also downregulates androgen receptors and affects production of DHT and other androgenic metabolites, so it is has multiple anti-androgenic activities. I found a great post that breaks down the different anti-androgenic mechanisms: How Accutane...

It could be my imagination I guess, but I look a bit smaller. It seems a bit less forgiving for some inconsistency in my training due to travel, that I don't think would have caused any loss of strength with enanthate. As I'm having to justify that comment, I'm realizing how flimsy and...

That amount would also send me, and probably the average man, to the ER. If you had come on here first to ask about that dose, that's what I would have told you - what happened to you is the expected outcome. Unfortunately, you can't just trust your doctor not to hurt you. Medical errors are a...

In my experience the normal feeling is associated with short-acting testosterone, because I also feel normal (meaning a pre-TRT-like state of consciousness) on test prop. So far, it hasn't done anything dramatic for my libido and erections like cream did, but otherwise the experience is...

I have had moments of very healthy libido and sexual function with scrotal cream that have given me hope. I think the crazy levels of DHT from the cream are able to at least temporarily overcome whatever accutane did to me. I'm going to keep messing with DHT and maybe DHT derivatives and we'll...

I used a standard dosage (maybe 50 mg, I don't remember) for the standard five months of treatment. I don't remember the exact dosage details because I was only 17 at the time. Basically, before that I was a normal teenager with healthy sexual function, and afterwards, my libido and erectile...

Stop taking it? Not trying to be a smartass - that's probably the only thing that will work. I'd do it sooner than later, so you hopefully don't end up with some permanent damage from accutane like I have.

Wonderful news. They aren't harmless, and you don't need them. It defies all logic when people say they have some kind of biological dependence on an isolated supplemental nutrient that didn't exist 50 or 100 years ago. I have a bin in the basement with about 200 supplements in it, known as...

For many people, yes absolutely, big difference! For you? We have no idea. Using made up numbers, 20% of people will prefer SC injections and have better results. 50% of people will see no difference at all between SC and IM. 30% of people will have significantly lower testosterone levels and...

I have not seen any threads you started that begin with "I just ate nutritious food for a couple weeks and it feels like acid is burning my genitals off." You have only started threads like that in relation to your supplement misadventures.

Please stop the insanity and just eat food. I love you bro, but these are the ramblings of a hypochondriac madman that shouldn't be taking anything that wasn't prescribed by a doctor.

You've got me scratching my head here. As Gman and I have said, the sexual effects you're getting from progesterone are basically the holy grail that many of us are chasing with our protocol adjustments. Why is it unwelcome in your case?
