Very low free t3 but good Tsh. Were you dieting when you had your initial labs done?

7.3kg of ffm gained in the 600mg group without any exercise, amazing.

I wonder if the authors of this study follow the men after stopping the testosterone to see if their levels come back up?

Vince I have also noticed my ldl go down when I take t3.

Boneti this is an interesting study about t3 dosing. Daily Administration of Short-Acting Liothyronine Is Associated with Significant Triiodothyronine Excursions and Fails to Alter Thyroid-Responsive Parameters

I’ve had problems with my thyroid treatment as well. Right now I’m experimenting with higher t4 doses while keeping my t3 dose the same. Ive stopped having hyper symptoms. I believe more physiologic dosing is better for long term health. The natural thyroid preparations might have too little t4...

If you have a varicocele it’s best to correct it with surgery asap. Varicocele damages the testicles. I had one since I was 14. Didn’t have it fixed till I was 27. No increase in testosterone after surgery. If your doctor asks if it hurts and you say no they will not fixed it unless you have low...

Problems with cortisol can cause water retention. I’ve experienced this. Anyway, the ai isn’t helping you. No need to take it.

Dr Nichols no longer works with jay?

Trt isn’t cheap. Blood tests hit the wallet hard. You get what you pay for though. The nhs is free so no wonder they won’t cover trt unless absolutely necessary. Pay a little more and you can get the care you want.

There’s no trt clinics in the uk?

Actually from what I’ve read guys with high shbg have more success with trt. The key is taking enough testosterone to increase your free test to where you feel good. I haven’t heard of anyone having success with lowering their shbg in order to increase free test. Injecting isn’t bad at all. Just...

Great post madman. Mlc2010 you need to try trt.

Trt is for life. It doesn’t hurt to try.

Steroids are legal in the uk. If doc won’t prescribe use other avenues. Implant should be absolutely last option. Change docs if you have to. With shbg that high you probably need much higher total testosterone. Do you have any other symptoms of low testosterone?

If you would’ve tested in the morning your total could be 700ng/dL or higher.

I feel for guys that can’t seem to find a protocol that works. I can only speak to my experience on trt. Every time I’ve added an ai, even at a small dose, .25mg, I get erectile dysfunction and low sex drive. Even with estradiol at 78pg/ml taking ai killed my sex drive. Please don’t stop trt...

Many knowledgeable members on that board. Opened my eyes to the possible health effects of steroid abuse.

Tbh if you really want to see if you don’t need the ai, you need to drop it completely. You might feel symptoms for a couple of weeks or you could feel great. Give you body time to adjust.

I’ve heard transdermals increase dht more than shots. Maybe the fortesta is giving you those higher dht levels? I must say I’m envious of your dht. Thinking about trying transdermal with my test c to boost my dht.

The only time my hdl dropped while on trt was when I took anastrozole back in the day. I stopped anastrozole years ago and my hdl recovered to 50-55 and has stayed there ever since.

Captain, how do you feel at 171?

Ive only tested dht once. I was using 40mg cyp twice per week and my dht was 38 range (30-85), free test 24.9 range (8.7-25.1). For some reason I dont convert to dht as much as other guys. My libido isnt great on 80mgs. On 100mgs my libido is excellent.

Tot podcast with dr Neal rouizer. Dr rouizer states “young men have estradiol 75-90”. Where the heck is he getting his info?

When were your tests done in relation to your dosing schedule?

How do you feel Tom?

How long have you been on this protocol? I would drop hcg, keep test dose the same and retest in a month.

22pg/ml optimal e2? Sounds like you’ve been hanging around t-nation? It will be difficult to interpret you value because that range isn’t typically used.

Unfortunately it’s impossible to predict what your levels will be while using different dosages of testosterone. I’ve actually decreased my dose and my levels increased. You will have to find the right dose through experimentation. As Vince stated, give your body time to stabilize before blood...

Don’t give up zizshitwork! Drop hcg and ai and just use testosterone and see how you feel. After 6 weeks run blood work and adjust from there.

Strange that your estradiol is that high on 80mgs per week. The hcg could be the cause of the high estradiol? Have you tried stopping the hcg and seeing what happens?
