Hyperlipidemia runs in my family. I've had high cholesterol since I first got tested as a teen. I was a skinny twig. In my 20s I started atorvastatin. I've been to cardiologist and carotid is fine, echo, stress test etc is fine. Recently I had a calcium deposit test and it came back as 0. With...

I suspect what's happening my peak is 500ish within a day or so and then the remaining days I'm at the lowest until my next shot. I'll do 60 or 70 to have higher trough.

I didn't say this med causes liver toxicity. I was referring to other oral meds. With this one no liver issues I read and yes that's good. My concern is how safe is it on the lymphatic system since that's the channel for t to be utilized.

I may increase my dose to 60 or 70 and see how that plays out. As far as the oral med it doesn't effect the liver like other oral t meds but goes through the lymphatic system. That's scary too as we don't know how toxic it is for the lymphatic system.

The thing is my ferritin drops and hemoglobin at a higher dose. My ferritin was as low as 12 before and now over 125. I had no energy before. Good energy now but moody more.

Hello I've been on trt since 2017 and have always taken 150 to 100mg of cypionate weekly. The last few months or so I've been on 50 mg weekly. I settled for 50 mg because my estrogen sensitive, and ferritin ans rbc have normalized and so has my htc. When I was on a higher dose I felt better as...

Prescribed Atorvastatin, Zyrtec, Nasonex, Protonix. OTC, D3

Is it normal for the PSA level to go up on Cypionate? Before trt back in 2017 my level was 0.8 and it has gradually increased. My latest dose is 50 mg weekly since 5 months ago. 3/8/22= 1.82 8/16/22= 1.32 5/1/23= 1.51 2/6/24= 2.7

No, I had a 10 ferritin and had to reduce my cypionate. My latest ferritin 125. Yours is great.

True, that's why I think I'll stick to what I already know and that's how I feel being off which is great.

Based on the video some people feel great having 190 tt or 400 to vs. So if you feel great on 255 like me then the question is.... Is it safe to have a low tt and free t?

Thanks but I've had free t as high as 390 pg/ml and total at 800 with 80 mg cypionate.

What is short gene CAG?

Actually my free isn't ideal it's 37.4 pg/ml and that translates to 3. My shbg has been in the teens in the past. I stopped because of my blood pressure and I had heart flutters here and there. Also I didn't feel different on nor off.

I've been off trt for 7 weeks and decided to check my levels being off. How come my free t is 37 which is great despite my total being 255? Should I go back even though I feel great? My e2 sensitive and standard was 24, 27 which is ideal.

I don't wish I never started but in my case maybe it was pointless because my total was 350+ at the time and dr said I should. On cypionate trying different doses raised my HTC and crashed my ferritin and raised my BP. Now that I've been off for over a month my ferritin is over 125 before 7...

I rather have it lower. Also my ferritin has tanked like I mentioned above.

I drink plenty of water daily. Another reason I'd like to try 50mg is because ever since I've been on trt my ferritin has tanked as low as 7 when before I was over 125.

I currently have a HTC of 55% on 200 mg. When I was doing 100mg it was around 50%. My shbg has been in the 15 to 17 mark. Having said this I don't need much cypionate to raise total and free. If I do 50mg per week will that bring it down below 50%?

For the better or worse?

Is a Hematocrit of 52.6 dangerous?

How come on a lower dose 100mg my ferritin has been lower like 12 and on 200mg 25? Thoughts on this?

Shbg kinda confuses me. Correct me if I am wrong. They say for people with low shbg you don't really need a high t dose. But how does more t raise shbg?

Yes in the past like 15 and 17

I was on cypionate 100mg weekly and after the increase to 200mg they didn't change much in 2 months. As follows: 100mg Total T 644 Free T 32 Rbc 6.14 Htc 52.4 Hemoglobin 17.6 E2 52 200MG Total T 1195 Free T 32 Rbc 6.07 Htc 52.6 Hemoglobin 17.6 E2 70

Bump

If I inject cypionate on MWF in the evening time when do I check the levels? Do I check on Monday morning before my evening shot or the morning of Tuesday or Thursday when I don't inject?

Interesting! At 100 mg per week that puts me around 600 plus. I too have a low shbg like 15. You should be higher with the tt. I may try 200 mg and see.

What was you total and free t if you don't mind me asking?

My doctor put me on 200 mg but I have always been afraid to try that and done only 100 to 120 mg. I may ask for 200 weekly micro dosing to avoid a high htc and low ferritin. Bad enough 100 mg brought my htc to 52.5

I went from 100 mg weekly to 80 mg and during this time I notice I am more sleepy lately. I've been on the 80 mg for 2 or 3 weeks.
