Thanks for all the replies and advice, information. I am doing subq currently. I'm assuming based on your mention of this that subq someone helps to lower DHT? I will start looking into all those products and info mentioned above.

I am already predisposed to male pattern baldness. It hasn't progressed to badly over recent years. However since starting trt, I really feel like there has been some progression of my MPB. Obviously, this is not desirable and I'd like to stop this if possible.

I just got the DHT results from my recent blood test. My results were: DHT 2.7 nmol/L Range 0.4-2.5 So I'm wondering what steps I need to take now, if any, to get my DHT back to a normal range?

Excellent, thanks guys. I think I'll just do it in the morning and stick to that.

Great, thanks for the info Saul. I won't worry too much then about what time I do it.

I'm doing EOD injections. I'm just wondering what people think is the best time of day for injection? How long does it take for the test to be absorbed by the body and start giving an effect? If it's very quick, I'm thinking morning would be the best time as I will get the maximum effect during...

Thanks very much Mark. I will start with 0.25mg twice per week and see how I feel. I will also do some searching on the dissolving method as well.

So can anyone recommend if and what dosage of AI I should be taking? I have 1mg Anastrazole tabs here. I'm assuming I do need to start an AI as my estradiol is way above the normal range. If anyone can give me some advice on this I'd be very appreciative.

Yes I'm in Australia and we don't have the sensitive test. My protocol is 30mg EOD Test Cyp which equates to 105mg per week. I'm not on HCG, AI or anything else. My symptoms I would say are much lower libido than a few weeks ago, like almost no libido, Energy that is not as high as previously...

Sorry, those have't pasted correctly, it's all wonky. I'll get a copy of the results in a better format that is easier to read.

I just got my blood test results after being on TRT for 9.5 weeks. The only thing that isn't in the normal range is estradiol. Pre-TRT my Estradiol was at 97, now its 226. So my question is, obviously I need to ad in an AI, but what dose should I start on? Here are the results...

8 weeks today on TRT. I'm organising a blood test. I was going to get Total and Free T, E2 and SHBG, Full Blood Count and DHT. Anything else I should get tested?

Hi guys. I've decided I'm going to try shallow IM injections as I am getting a hard red lump every single time I inject subq. I've tried the various subq techniques that people have recommended however I'm still getting a lump. Can anyone recommend a good video showing shallow IM technique. I...

Vince, with that size syringe, do you need to aspirate?

I still seem to be getting a hard red lump every time. feelinglost, using your technique, wouldn't there be a risk of breaking the needle?

Thanks for the replies. I did stop the HCG a few weeks ago. Would it still be affecting me now?

lowe2sucks, a couple of guys on here said that some guys just don't do well on HCG and recommended I cut it out for now and see how that goes. feelinglost, thanks for the recommendation and advice about being able to stop. I guess what I really want to know is, has anyone here seen this...

For the first few weeks I was taking 50mg Testosterone Cypionate and 300iu HCG twice a week. Once I started feeling bad, it was recommended that I might do better to cut out the HCG for now. So I did that around week 3. Then it was suggested, due to my low SHBG that EOD injections would be...

Hi guys. I really need help. I am seriously considering getting off TRT. Tomorrow will be exactly 6 weeks since I started. I am feeling emotionally terrible. The problem is that I have things going on in my life, well, one thing that is causing me a severe amount of emotional pain. The thing is...

Thanks for that. Wilsonfive, I'm doing ok, a bit better than before. Although I've been noticing some other things, which seem a bit strange. For instance, I've noticed my ability to think clearly and especially articulate well when speaking has decreased. For instance, I will lose my train of...

Ok, understood. Here are my results: TSH 2.1 Range 0.5-4 FT3 5 Range 3.5-6 FT4 19 Range 10-20 TGAb 20 Range <41 TPOAb 37 Range <60 Another thing I should mention, which I know I will probably get tons of criticism for, is that I am doing this without a doctor and sourced my own testosterone. I...

Thanks a lot for the replies and the encouragement and advice. It has definitely helped. Regarding the Thyroid, I did get a complete thyroid test and everything came back in the normal range. I will continue on but I will change to EOD. Thanks again.

I started TRT just over 4 weeks ago. Here are my pre-TRT bloods. Test 8.4nmol/L Range 8.3-29 Free Test 191.5 pmol/L 255-725 Oestradiol 97pmol/L 50-150 SHBG 20nmol/L 11-71 For the first 2 weeks I felt good. Then around week 3 I started to have feelings of anxiety and low mood. I had a blood...

Thanks for the updates. I will change my injections to EOD. To be honest I'd much rather only have to do it once or twice a week but if that's not going to work for me, II suppose I don't have much choice. Is there any way to just get my SHBG instead? Also, my Free Test numbers on my last blood...

Thanks very much. I will consider the 3x a week injections however for now I am going to just cut out the HCG and keep doing 2 x 50mg per week. Just so I'm only changing one thing at a time so I can have a good idea of what effect that one change has.

No Vince, I haven't taken an SHBG if that's what you mean. I'm in Australia.

I've been on TRT for 4 weeks. My protocol is: Monday Afternoon 50mg Test Cypionate 300iu HCG Friday Morning Same as Monday I was having all kinds of issues with my mood, feelings of anxiety and feeling very low, very tired etc. I had a blood test a couple of days ago and these are my...

Sorry, here are the ranges as well: Test 18nmol/L Range 8.3-29 Free Test 457 pmol/L 255-725 Oestradiol 93pmol/L 50-150 SHBG 18nmol/L 11-71

I've received the results of my blood test. Everything came back in the normal range. I'll put the results below. I think we use different units here in Australia to what you have there in the US, so if needed, I will find an online tool to do the conversion. Test 18nmol/L Free Test 457 pmol/L...

Thanks for the suggestions. Feelinglost, I actually do the injections at my tummy, over near my love handles, not so much on a muscle.

I had my blood test this morning. I am hoping to have the results today although that might not happen. Emotionally today I was better than yesterday. However this afternoon I started feeling bad physically. Driving to gym it was getting worse, like I was kind of jittery and just feeling...
