    Anyone doing better off trt long term?

    Been on the cream for 3 months, have some questions Here is my last thread with recent labs, I feel like I didn't wait long enough after application on those bloods, and I also switched application sights from my ribcage to my shoulders. I feel like the shoulders give me high TT because I'm...

    Anyone doing better off trt long term?

    I had that problem no doubt on the injections. After going off of them, I feel like I got my life back.

    Sorry for the late response. I've been doing 3 clicks a day(150mg). One click to the scrotum, the other two on my shoulders.

    Anyone doing better off trt long term?

    I quit TRT after 14 months on injections. Felt WAY better all natural than I ever did injecting. My TT got to 460ng/dL, which was surprising because my pre-TRT levels were only 280ng/dL. Felt pretty good, but my body was breaking down, losing muscle mass, gaining fat, and my joints were killing...

    Erectile Dysfunction Problems

    3 clicks of Empowers 200mg/ml so 150mg per day. 1 click to scrotum, 1 click on each upper arm. I was applying to my ribcage area because im pretty hairy, but only got up to 430ng/dL TT. I haven't tested again since applying to my upper arms, but I've been doing it for over a month and feel...

    Erectile Dysfunction Problems

    Yep, it can be, which is why I stopped using it. Test Injections gave me complete ED and I was desperate. I'm on the creams now and thankfully I can manage a 15-20 erection most days without anything but daily cialis. It's not a perfect erection, but it does the job.

    Erectile Dysfunction Problems

    Is there actually a link between varicose veins and ED? I have both varicose veins, and too suffer from ED at age 28. Viagra and Cialis help some, and my ED fluctuates from week to week. Trimix works for me, sometimes. It's odd I either lose my erection in 20 minutes, or it lasts 7 hours with no...

    The 240 DHT level was 1.5hrs after application, not 24.

    Been on the cream for 3 months, have some questions

    Worth a shot man, I lost a year of my life in injections. No matter what I did I always felt terrible or just off. I kept thinking I just needed to get dialed in, but after so many different protocols, EOD injections, thyroid meds, and thousands of dollars spent I threw in the towel. I feel way...

    Help choosing a TRT doctor - Defy vs Dr Rotman

    I vote for Defy. I think I know what you mean when dealing with their office, it depends on who you talk to though. The bottom line though is that their office workers and easy to reach, quick to take care of issues, and efficient. I've never waited more than a minute or two to talk to someone...

    Been on the cream for 3 months, have some questions

    Gman, how long after applying to the tops of my feet should I wait before putting socks on?

    Been on the cream for 3 months, have some questions

    Thank you all for the replies! I'll do my best to answer questions. Gman, the cream is 200mg/ml so I believe its the higher strength dosage, and I apply everything at once to lower the chances of transferring to my partner. I believe the 3 clicks are equal to 150mg. We either have sex in the...

    Been on the cream for 3 months, have some questions

    Hey guys, I haven't really been thinking too much about TRT since starting the creams 3 months ago. I just apply every morning and don't give it much thought. I originally started TRT in 2017 and quit after about a year because it made everything worse. I went natural for 5 months and made a...

    Back on TRT: Same old thing

    I'm doing one click on my scrotum, and two clicks on my sides. I'm not sure where the best plan to apply it is, but it seems to be working. No labs yet. I don't think that I'm prone to balding, so no issues my hair is as thick as ever. Libido is very good on the cream too, and so far orgasms and...

    Back on TRT: Same old thing

    Hey BigBamBoo, I'm sorry to hear that the restart did not work out for you, and you're back to struggling with the emotional symptoms of TRT. I got back into TRT as well, but this time with the cream. I've only been back on for about 5 weeks now, but I feel great. I feel normal physically and...

    Considering coming off after three years - advice needed

    I'm 27, and minus the thinking hair, I had the exact same response to TRT. I felt awful for over a year trying to get "dialed in". I had complete ED too. I quit back in December, and it was worth it. I pulled more comprehensive baseline labs and my body actually recovered better than I...

    Neurotransmitter testing

    The study I read on nurotransmitter testing basically said that test results fluctuate massively from day to day, suggesting that testing methods are completely worthless at this point in time. Really unfortunate because I think most of my problems are nurotransmitter related. Experimenting...

    Going with Defy, I can't do this on my own anymore.

    No I haven't. It'd be difficult to get any doctor to do that either. I'm young, healthy weight, don't smoke, no other medication. Working out, eating extremely healthy, ect doesn't do anything for my erections. I've been there and done that.

    Going with Defy, I can't do this on my own anymore.

    Unfortunately I still have no answers. I ended up resorting to Trimix and used it with varying success for 5-6 months. Defy was great, but due to continued issues on TRT I came off. Now, 4-5 months off TRT I feel much better, the ED has gotten a bit better and I can get by often with only Cialis...

    Etiology: What do you think caused your low T (hypogonadism)?

    I was diagnosed with Secondary Hypogonadism due to a pituitary tumor, low LH, FSH and low Testosterone in 2017. Now, after being off TRT for four months, my LH and FSH are high, and my TT at 460. So now it seems that I'm actually some degree of primary. When I was initially diagnosed I was...

    Labs 3 months off TRT, surprising results. *New labs, 4 months off TRT*

    Well it appears that the restart was a success, to a certain degree. Nearly 4 months since I quit TRT, and 3 months since I did a little bit of Clomid and my pituitary seems to be pumping out LH and FSH well, but my testicles are only doing so much. They do seem a little smaller than they were...

    Testosterone propionate for TRT

    Any updates from the guys that switched to Propionate? I'm trying to decide between going with the Propionate or the cream using scrotal application.

    Labs 3 months off TRT, surprising results. *New labs, 4 months off TRT*

    The Clomid wrecked me emotionally, and left me with a floater. I don't think I'll ever touch the stuff again.

    Labs 3 months off TRT, surprising results. *New labs, 4 months off TRT*

    Thank you, I didn't realize that the pulses varied so much, or that my pituitary was capable of making that much LH on its own. Seems strange that my current natural Test levels are 200 points higher than pre TRT. I've been taking magnesium, zinc, boron and phosphatidylserine to try and lower...

    Labs 3 months off TRT, surprising results. *New labs, 4 months off TRT*

    Bump, curious to know if anyone has an opinion. Is it possible for the little bit of Clomid I took two months ago to keep my LH that elevated?

    Labs 3 months off TRT, surprising results. *New labs, 4 months off TRT*

    New Labs at post #9 I was diagnosed with Secondary Hypogonadism in August of 2017 with a 3mm pituitary tumor. The only symptom I had was ED, which I have struggled with since 18 years old, and am 27 now. Initial labs were done twice in 2017, and were as follows: TT 280 FT 8.8 LH 3.0 FSH 3.0...

    Low cortisol and low testosterone

    I think at this point the best thing you can do is to post all of your labs, along with symptoms in new thread. You clearly have a lot going on, and it's easier to look at the overall picture.

    Low cortisol and low testosterone

    I have higher ACTH, and high cortisol, and TRT also made me very tired. I do think that psychological stress is what caused the high cortisol in my case, and I plan to test it again soon now that I'm less stressed and have been taking phosphatidylserine, magnesium, zinc and boron. What...
