I just stopped my scrotal gel experiment. Tried it for 4 months. Was on shots for 5 years prior. Just 1 click (200mg/ml, 1 click = 50 mg) put my DHT 4 times over the top of the range. Poor EQ and low libido. Going back to t cyp shots.

Interesting to see what 50mg morning and night on buttocks pulls. Assuming you have some fat there, results will be interesting. Although no two individuals are alike, one of the main reasons I like this forum is to see how other's experiences/experiments go. Thanks!

I switched from injections to Atrevis base, 200mg/ml (50mg per click). At 2 clicks on scrotum (100mg) first thing in the morning my numbers were (9 hours after applying): TT: 1391 (250-1100), FT: 373 (35-155) and DHT: 359 (12-65). As one can see I was over the top and had little libido, poor...

Another glucose lowering alternative: Bitter Melon. Learned this from Ben Greenfield. It brought my fasting glucose level from mid 90s to 81 on my last labs.

Correct, I did not buy from Discounted Labs.

I believe this issue (on HCG yet tightness) is due to increase in Norepinephrine. Now what causes the increase in Norepinephrine is the question. If you take an alpha blocker such as doxazosin or flomax your tightness will go away. It could be due to high E or low thyroid. I'm battling this...

Warning: Just had labs done at Quest. Doc specifically requested sensitive estradiol lab. I double checked what the technician was drawing (she was offended when I asked her to double check). She had the normal estradiol lab. When I pointed this out and that the doc had specifically ordered...

Defy will.

I just got Pregnyl a few weeks ago.

No need to donate with a HCT of 48. IMO take iron supplements with Vit C and bovine spleen.

What was the name of the product she used? Tx

Im wondering if the hydrogel and/or scrotal application are increasing norepinephrine as things seem to have tightened up down there. Estrogen can increase norepinephrine so maybe its the higher estrogen. Maybe higher DHT?? Anyone else have this issue when using creams or hydrogel, especially...

Libido and EQ are not good. Im going to try to lower E with some arimidex and see if that helps. High E, aside from its own symptoms, will drive prolactin higher and increase TBG, which will lower free thyroid levels. I'll be conservative and not drive E too low.

Recently switched from injections (50mg T Cyp twice a week) to daily hydrogel from Empower. Tried creams about 8 years ago. Labs went down as I wasn't absorbing. I tried Axiron and compounded cream back then. Neither worked. Have been on injections for about the last 7 years. Had highs and...

What is your dosage and how often do you use it? Tx

I have BPH symptoms come and go. For me when my E is high they are worse. Daily tadalafil helps with BPH (along with an AI if my E is high). I have flomax and just the opposite of you, take it only when I know I'm going to have sex. Flomax is an alpha blocker that will lower norepinephrine...

Check out Gene's nitric oxide stack which has doxazosin as part of it. Flomax is an alpha blocker also but is more targeted for the urinary/genital track and in my experience is better than doxazosin (when combined with tadalafil) for better EQ. I'm not at home but I believe it is .4mg half...

With your PSA ok, probably prostatitis. Most prostatitis is non bacterial and just goes away. My doc prescribed me Flomax as needed. Flomax and tadalafil are a great combo for EQ.

I have my first consult scheduled with Beth at Defy. Any thoughts on Beth/Defy? Thanks!

Have my first consult with Defy. Was with Dr. Crisler before he passed. Any particular practitioner that you consult with consistently at Defy? Thanks.

Google choline and NAFLD. Choline is supposed to be very good for NAFLD.

I have used both dox and Flomax with tadalafil. For me, N=1, flomax better EQ and did not have the BP lowering issue. It was also stated in the All Things Male Forum in a long board dealing with control of EQ that flomax would be better than dox for EQ purposes.

Didn't use icariin, only arginine, citrulline, pycnogenol and tadalafil

what amount of oregano did you take and for how long? Did you take anything else (ie coconut oil referenced above?). I'm giving it a go now. Thanks!

I believe curcumin lowers LH which will lower T, unless your on TRT then LH is already suppressed and curcumin should have no effect.

2.5 mg MWF. It has a long half life.

Dopamine and testosterone have a bidirectional relationship. My 23andme shows that I have a gene variant wherein I do not breakdown dopamine as quickly as the normal person, so when I took selegiline it made my already high dopamine levels even higher. I cut my T cyp dose and yet my t levels...

I've taken deprenyl (selegiline). It will increase your T even further (via increasing dopamine).

@bumpy Thanks. My free T range is 7.2 to 24.0 pg/ml. What is your free T range? I assume its not the same since your level is 731.4. Any issues with HCT, red blood cells or HGB?

What is your HCG dosage/schedule? On any AI? Do you have your E level on this regimen? My E level would be very high with this protocol. Tx

Interesting read. Does this mean that anastrozole is better or worse than exemestane/letrozole for men on TRT? I've tried both anastrozole and exemestane. Anastrozole was stronger and brought my E down more.
