I think its the excessive testosterone that was causing your acne. 140 mg per week was a big dose of T, combine that with more T from 750iu of hCG twice a week and no wonder your having issues! Yes, you definitely need to let your body re-adjust after saturating it with too much testosterone...

Indeed, this must be a real issue in areas where people are getting virtually no sunlight in very cold dark winters and not having a replacement in their diet. Even here in Sydney AU, we have people with Vitamin D deficiencies, possibly due to the skin cancer campaigns that have been strongly...

Sounds like some form of torture... hCG is your solution.

I was trying to work out if you had these issues with androgel? Why did you switch? How was your libido and sleep on Androgel? The obvious thing here to me is your dosage as Sammy mentions: 125 mg a week. Try lowering it to 80 mg per week and don't change anything else. Stay on this for a...

I thought of this video one of the members posted in a thread recently that may be interesting for you to watch. This is the thread, where we are discussing possible alterations in the sympathetic nervous system due to hormone therapy. Plus the possibility that TRT can increase levels of SERT...

Ok, yes it seems you are on 66 mg of T a day, which adds up to 462 mg a week. In my humble opinion... this is more than excessive and detrimental to your health. I will let the other members here advise on a more normal daily dose for subq as I only have personal experience with intramuscular.

Would it be more accurate to say you are a lover of enclomiphene citrate, not clomiphene citrate? These are very different drugs. The OP has been prescribed Clomid which has the Zuclomiphene component that may cause many of the issues most men complain about. I am curious to know if you have...

Are you sure this is correct, your doctor has you on 462 mg per week? The normal starting dose for injectable testosterone is around 100 mg per week. Many men need less than this.

It may have been premature initiating testosterone replacement. I do not think a good physician would put a patient onto testosterone replacement after just two tests, especially given that the first was very suspicious. The second test you had being a retest in my opinion, the result being...

You are quite correct, testosterone is not a universal cure for ED. I did see that your use of Trimix was well before you began testosterone replacement. Often TRT causes issues with erections in some men, thus why I asked how much you were taking. It sounded like it was 240 mg a week, which in...

Are you taking 120 mg of testosterone twice a week as it reads or did you mean to say you are on 120 mg split in two injections of 60 mg each? It is interesting to me that your Trimix injections are not working as well since being on TRT... after a period of time.

Is this correct, you are on 250 mg per week?! If so, I am not surprised your bpm is so high. Its tapering off because your testosterone levels are dropping. Why is your doctor prescribing this amount of testosterone?

Thank you. "I do find that unwanted effects like tight scrotum seem to be more prevalent with age, i dont recall ever having a tight package when i was doing 250mg sustanon on one shot" This study (I have attached) which has been performed with rodents, I found relevant to the age related...

The mechanisms in the penis that keep it flaccid are increased considerably when you are active and performing physical tasks. Our body goes into a more parasympathetic state while digesting food "rest and digest". The active sympathetic state is reduced so as to favor blood flow to the...

This is what most guys are prescribed now here in AU who present with confirmed low T. The main reason being is that they only need to see their doctor for an injection once every 2-3 months.

From what I can understand so far you had only done 2 tests for testosterone before you undertook TRT? I have asked twice how many tests you did beforehand but you do not seem to want to answer that question. The first test result for example could have been a lab error giving such a high...

Ok, so if you had such a good level in 2020, what happened after that? Why do you think your levels dropped and what made you think you needed to undergo TRT? Did you try to improve your natural levels first? I repeat my question: how many morning tests did you do to evaluate your natural hormones?

Why did you push your dose up so high? You are at supraphysiologic levels, this creates all types of issues as time goes by. The initial effects of TRT are often not the ones that stay with you. They are the sudden effects of soaring T levels and the artificial stimulation that causes. This can...

"The fact that there has been no visible program to do this is a strong indicator that someone somewhere is trying to damage hiumanity on purpose." Dr Evil, possibly? Sorry... :) I think there is a great amount of research currently underway trying to understand how our developed world is...

Correct, that would be my concern, pooled blood eventually becoming deoxgenated. It could be that the sheer volume of blood which enters the penis during an erection, means that it will last longer in this regard. How long is the question. We know how important constant circulation is to all our...

It would be interesting to see if Ovidrel caused these same issues for you. There may be something in the urinary derived hCG that causes this. The issues I had with nipple tenderness and swelling from urinary derived hCG are not present with the recombinant version.

True... Lol.

My understanding of erectile function/dysfunction has come about after many years of personal research. 4 hours is usually the time one needs to take a trip to the ER. 3 + hours is very close to this. Some doctors I have spoken to say even 3 is very concerning. If you a regularly doing this to...

You have said everything I wanted to say and was in the midst of writing; so eloquently. Well done!

As usual, excellent points.

Sorry I just saw this! Its a pity they do not have your previous LH and FSH result on those labs, or did they not test them? However, your gonadotropins do seem to be at quite healthy levels!

I am curious JmarkH, have you had labs done of your LH and FSH whilst taking that relatively high dose of enclomiphene combined with hCG? I am wondering how successful this is with keeping your HPTA active, with the combined suppression of the hCG?

Indeed!

Well if your feeling good and everything is working well sexually, then of course, don't fix what is not broken! Sometimes however, the ill-effects of having no gonadotropin stimulation can take time to show themselves. Testicular atrophy is not immediate and can take many months to occur...

Oh. Well Its good to know how much you are taking, as believe me some doctors can be way off in regard to dosing hCG! Have you got the vial and did you reconstitute it? It should be on the vial how many IU of hCG is in it.

How many IU is .25 on your syringe? I do not know the concentration of your hCG once you mix or reconstitute it. For example, if you have a vial containing 5000 IU of urinary derived hCG and you reconstitute it with 5ml of solution you will have a strength of 1000 IU per ML. As hCG comes in...
