    Getting off TRT for fertility

    Right, I was on testosterone plus HCG 250 IU every 3,5 d, only to avoid testicular atrofy, cause at 52 (now 53 y/o) I didn't expect to desire more children, but things changed, my old wife left me, and then a young 29 y/o woman came to my life, now we want children, and I was amazed to see my...

    Considering weaning off of TRT

    I wish I had TT 550, then I would never have sterted TRT. Actually I feel great at 550 TT under trt. I don't say everybody is the same, but probably your problem with libido and low performance was not about low testosterone.

    hCG: An alternative approach for the treatment of low testosterone

    I have seen the complete video and I find it very impacting about the use of hcg, I wish it was a new light, but it is from in 2014 and I can’t see any movement toward using systematically hcg instead of testosterone... then somethig doesn’t work very well when treating testisterone deficiency...

    Testosterone Dose and Cardiomyopathy/left ventricular hypertrophy development

    I am in Spain, and I have never heard about Dr. Rand, but 200 - 300 mg/week is a dose for the bodybilding world, and is obviously insane. In other hand, younger men are likely to tolerate better higher doses, but it doesn't mean it is ok. Anyway, check with the lab and see where your levels...

    Testosterone Dose and Cardiomyopathy/left ventricular hypertrophy development

    Everything in excessive dose may be harmfull. For me 200mg/week of testoterone is unthinkable and I actually doubt about anybody's need of such doses. In my particular case, I started using viagra in my early 40's for some low sexual performance, I didn't had any idea of testosterone defficiency...

    Med student here. I have been on TRT since 21. Here is what I have learned about ED, libido and hormones.

    No E2 issues apart of less libido, but to be honest, I don’t use to do labs very often; I did it often but at the beginning of starting TRT, I soon learned to identify high or low levels of E2 by correlating the way I felt with the labs results… and today the way I feel is the main indicator for...

    Med student here. I have been on TRT since 21. Here is what I have learned about ED, libido and hormones.

    In my particular case, I have found that having very steady levels of testosterone doesn't help on keeping good libido. I have tried several protocols over 4 years on TRT, and it is true that there is a honey moon period when changing protocol, but I have failed to keep a sweet spot at any dose...

    Is It Possible To Control Estradiol Without Blocker?

    En ampolla lo veo difícil, a no ser que sea re-envasado en un vial. Aquí en España se comercializa como Reandron, que se presenta en viales de 1 gr/4ml, tiene una tapa de goma, con lo cual es muy fácil de dosificar, a razón de 100 mg/4décimas. Yo jamás lo usaría a dosis completa, porque el...

    Is It Possible To Control Estradiol Without Blocker?

    May be somebody wonder how I manage my protocol in such unusual and personal way, and adjust it as my own will. I understand that not everybody can do that since they depend on their doctor opinion and rules. Well, I have the advantage that my wife is a family doctor and I am a physician too...

    Is It Possible To Control Estradiol Without Blocker?

    I have been on TRT for 3 years. I tried unsuccessfully to go off trt sometimes because of high estradiol and testicular shrinking, but for the last 8 month I seem to have found my way to control both issues, and no use of any AI. I even tried every day testosterone Injections but the very stable...

    Testosterone propionate for TRT

    Yes, it's very interesting, I feel like crap with levels higher than 1200 TT ... but around 600 I jump of joy, I also rise a lot TT with relatively small doses.

    Testosterone propionate for TRT

    For me 25 mg ED would be too much, and there is no way a could feel good with too much testosterone... with much lower dose I feel great in every way. If I were you I would try 15 mg ED.

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    Now I am on Ovitrelle 260 mg every other day. I Just started with Reandron 0.4 ml every two weeks, it will take at least 3 months to reach some steady levels, in the mean time I am on low dose T. Cypionate EOD, when Undecanoate gets stable, I may switch from cypionate to propionate, then I can...

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    I have seen myself having high estrogen after a month or two at 87.5 mg testosterone per week. Having a flat level of testosterone is not physiological. Testosterone is testosterone, but the point here is to play with the half life of each ester, so you don't need to crash o have very deep...

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    The idea is to resemble as much as possible the natural daily ups and downs, which is a normal circadian rhythm, and to take advantage on the fast metabolism of shorter ester, which would allow to clear it from your system very fast when the levels of estrogens are too high, while always keeping...

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    That is actually the dose I started to use from 2 weeks ago, 260 iu EOD, combined with a different aproach of TRT that I have designed for myself (since I don't want to use any Ai, but my E2 rises very easely). It is too soon to say any result, but I am trying to set up a basal safe line of...

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    We don't have HCG in Spain (and most countries in Europe) so I use Ovitrelle, which is recombinant HCG. I find it very powerful.

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    I'm 50 y/o, I was only concerned about Testicular volume till few months ago when I tried HCG mono at 390 IU EOD and I felt sooo good even when libido was not that good and then my numbers were kind of weird with not much total testosterone and E2 little high. Then I guess I felt so good...

    HCG: How much is safe to use?

    Tommy Wall, I couldn´t tell you for sure, but certaily you would need to especify which "benefits" you want to enjoy, cause HCG gives many benefits and different doses can be used for each, it is not the same if you only want to preserve testicular volume (lowest dose), or if you want to feel...

    Testosterone propionate for TRT

    I have never used propionate, but I've read it is a painfull injection... Taking a painfull injection is not a problem to me, but if it comes to be ED or EOD for life-time then I would need to think about it May Testosterone Propionate be administered Subcutaneously as well as cypionate or...

    Unable to get HCG... Is HMG an option to prevent testicular atrophy?

    Just an update: Using r-HCG (Ovitrelle) and testosterone together (doses as stated above) I crashed deeply while having elevated levels of testosterone and apparently normal E2. I decreased the dose of testosterone and had just a little improvement... then completely cut off testosterone and...

    Unable to get HCG... Is HMG an option to prevent testicular atrophy?

    I got my first ovitrelle after finished with the 10 amp. of HMG, (HMG was good, and was giving me better and more stable results over time, but is too expensive). After examining the preloaded ovitrelle pen, I got the conclusion it is not necessary to prefill any syringe. Just use it as a normal...

    Unable to get HCG... Is HMG an option to prevent testicular atrophy?

    I purchased some medicine once from Canada and it was delivered free of issues..., Now I don't remember exactly if it said it was medication... Any way, the trial wouldn't be for the medication itself, but precisely for the delivery from US to Spain. Or might be if I find ovitrelle to be very...

    Unable to get HCG... Is HMG an option to prevent testicular atrophy?

    I am about to try ovitrelle shortly, but since I am exploring all possibilities, I got in touch with reliable RX, and they said they do ship to Spain, so probably even if am to start with ovitrelle, I will try an order of HCG from reliable RX and see what happen. I am still worried about the...

    Unable to get HCG... Is HMG an option to prevent testicular atrophy?

    May be the solution for that problem: http://xurl.es/uoh8g http://xurl.es/i967v What I am planning to do is is to pre-load many 0.3 ml syringes from the ovitrelle pen, then store them into one of those fridging portable devices. Then I'm ready to go immedately when it is time for dose.
