To answer your question, it looks like you just taking too much of all those medications. Enclomiphene covers the e2 receptors in your brain, which in my experience can cause symptoms similar to high E2. For me this includes ED or loss of libido. Maybe consider 25mg EOD and 300 hgc EOD and 1/8...

Nandrolone is great for joints, 50 mg's a week is a good dose. That being said, it messes with some guys mental health, mine included. I've tried nandrolone and oxandrolone. Oxandrolone didn't ease the joint pain initially, but seemed to help heal up a shoulder injury I was dealing with.

I was never a sweater until I started TRT. TRT made me completely heat intolerant. Which is why im trying to come off. From my research, potential causes of sweating: excess sodium, excess alcohol, excess prolactin, vitamin E and B6 deficiency, estrogen, and thyroid issues

Your cost for compounded TC is really high, like double of my compounded TC cost. Most TRT providers have zero interest in calling in TC prescriptions across state lines. Some times they can't due to state laws, most of the time it's because they don't want to deal with the scrutiny from the...

Yes I tried it and had some level of success. It doesn't seem to be a great long-term solution for quite a few on here. However, it's a conservative and reasonable first step before going into full-blown TRT. Being on TRT itself is difficult to maintain homeostasis and leads to all sorts of...

I agree with madman and systemlord. Your protocol is terrible. There is no need to introduce enclomiphene with 200 mg T a week. It's simply won't work. I'm going to give you an alternate suggestion and recommend you drop the T in only use enclomiphene for 6-12 weeks. See how your body responds...

I agree your estrogen is really high. Yes an aromatase inhibitor would work, but should be used with caution. For me personally, high E2 means loss of sex drive, anxiety, and swelling my hands (water retention).

The problem is even if you prescribed a medication you still have to call to have them add it to your cart the first time. After that you should be good to go. I feel bad for their call center reps because I'm sure their call volume has gone through the roof.

I'm now dealing with empower delays. Apparently they are out of one my medications and unfortunately no one from Defy let me know till 12 days after I ordered it. I've been a happy Defy customer for years now, but the rep I spoke to today was argumentative, which was a weird experience. I'm...

Let me be direct with my response.Tongkat doesn't raise or lower T levels. If there's any response at all, it's so minuscule that it doesn't matter in the overall picture. What does lower testosterone is anxiety and worrying excessively. If you are not in a state of cognitive ease and unable to...

The common wisdom here is that we need labs to respond. This is the case here. TRT is amazingly complicated in that you are relying on medication to maintain homeostasis. It is a bit of a pain in the a**. It helps, but it doesn't make you feel amazingly better. I've been on for 3 years and...

Defy medical is the way to go. The VA will not participate in the process of TRT and will not get you the labs you need (unless you meet the clinical definition of hypogonadism). I personally think a low dose enclomiphene every other day is a good starting point. TRT can be great, but it is a...

To be clear, your not taking HCG and have full volume at 200mg T Cyp?

Volume goes down significantly. Intensity doesn't change for me unless my E2 levels are high (decreases intensity significantly).

None of this is permanent. I've tried almost every supposed T supplement available and I'm convinced that very few change your T levels. That being said some of them, depending on your physiology, can help improve subjective "feeling" or libido. Which is probably the point. Raising testosterone...

From a TRT perspective, your numbers look great.

Some on here hate AI, others don't. I'm perfectly fine with it and TRT would not work for me without it. High E2 for me is unbearable ( I tried).

It certainly works if you're secondary hypogonadal. I've used it several times and have always experienced negative side effects. In my opinion, it's definitely a viable treatment option, but I would recommend not using it every day. An every other day approach seems to limit the amount in...

Now Brand Dopa Mucuna 2 pills.

The only supplement I've found that helps is mucuna. I use it as needed and never daily. It bumps up your dopamine levels which can help, but if used too much may create issues.

I've been getting terrible headaches at night. Always around 8pm. Protocol 50 mg test cyp x 3 week, 400 iu hcg x 2 week, arimidex 1/8 x 3 week. I also sweat like crazy when I work out and am frequently heat intolerant. Provider suggested excess fluid retention and recommended reducing sodium...

I'm on trt now, but highly considering coming off and trying enclomiphene again.

If you try enclomiphene again, consider using it ever other day or twice a week. Most of us who had side effects from it were dosing daily. The side effects are most likely due to it binding to estrogen receptors and continually acting on them.

This is a fascinating discussion. I'll throw another thought process in here. Your lifting should reflect your goals. Every program and philosophy has a trade off. If you want size, you have to isolate and focus on hypertrophy. If you want to focus on strength without the bulk, you have to...

Having tried enclomiphene several times and getting great labs from it, I can attest it doesn't make you feel better. I think it has to do with the way it acts on your estrogen receptors. That being said, I think enclomiphene could be successful if it wasn't taken daily. An every other day...

So there's several different schools of thought on lifting. Since you mentioned you are doing specific muscle groups separately, you are taking more of a traditional bodybuilding approach. With bodybuilding the goal is to tear down the muscle as much as possible (hypertrophy) in order to allow...

My protocol: Test Cyp 25mg x 3 a week, 400 HCG 2x week, anastrozole 1/8 x 3 a week.

Gents, I'm starting to worry about my DHEA-S lab results. They are high every time I get labs and I'm hoping it doesn't indicate a medical issue. Here's what I'm looking at. Any thoughts. Range: 106-426 ug/dL 9/2022: 596 9/2021 556 1/2022 735

Basically all of your labs are crazy high. In some guys their E2 level needs to be close to their SBGH level to feel good (this is the case for me). I also cannot stand pregnenolone. Dial it back and see how you feel.

Yes it's legit. Enclomiphene is much better than chlomid for men. Lots of posts on it.

Mental health concerns with nandrolone is a fairly common discussion here. It makes me generally more irritable and a slight increase in depression. Love it for my joints, but intolerable otherwise
