Your statement says levels can rise sharply within two hours so it seems it wouldn’t be that uncommon to feel the effects the first hour. It’s been like this every shot since I’ve started, no matter the dose. In my case I can only tolerate 60mg per week so I obviously over respond anyhow. It’s...

I’ve been having a debate with a member on here to no avail regarding how quickly one can feel the effects of an injection. He’s stating that no one can feel the effects as quickly as I am stating and it’s psychosomatic. I’ve been on injections for 9.5 of the last 11 years and no matter what my...

Yeah I respond very well to any dose lol. 100mg puts my trough at nearly 1000ng

60mg is as high as I can tolerate which puts my 7 day trough at 650-700ng. I’ve tried compounded cream for a couple months in the past and didn’t like it.

My E2 has never been above 30 mainly because I’m a high shbg guy. Honestly other than energy trt has done nothing else positive. I’ve been on injections for the last 9.5 years and basically to the point of feeling asexual. I haven’t had a healthy libido in 7-8 years. My first 1.5 years on trt...

I’ve tried propionate and it was worse than cypionate for me.

Im only doing 60mg per week now with nothing else. All the ancillary meds hcg, dhea , pregnenolone and all that crap do nothing but makes things worse. Just out of curiosity how low are you dosing?

It is

That’s a grey area Vince, because many body builders do only use the same exact testosterone we’re taking just in larger doses. Testosterone and deca are by far the most abused anabolics in the bodybuilding world. It would be nice if the article clarified dose, levels etc...

Your numbers aren’t that unusual. My trough on 100mg are nearly 1000ng seven full days after a shot. I now only do 60mg every 7 days. I’m betting your shbg is high like mine. I’ve been on trt 11 years and have tried multiple injection protocols and once weekly is by far the best for me.

I take 2.5mg mwf to alleviate any symptoms. Any more than that the nasal congestion and heartburn get out of control.

I am 5’9” 180 lbs so not really that thin. My shbg is usually in the 60-70 range so I’m more toward the high end. I just can’t tolerate high doses.

I’d wait on labs and go from there. Most men I’ve seen that do well are in the 600-900ng range with total t.

Regardless of what you here from guys on here thyroid issues in men are pretty rare compared to women. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen but I’ve been told by two endocrinologists that it’s about a 10:1 ratio. Honestly in the many years on these forums I can’t think of a single person that’s did...

Yes it’s always been fine. Just overall feel Much better on a lower dose. Sleep and energy are great.

Very lacking for sure but its non existent at higher doses and gets worse the higher I go. It's okay I suppose now.

Once a week 60mg cypionate and nothing else. Been on trt going on 12 years and tried pretty much everything. This is what works for me and I feel much better than I ever did at higher doses. My 7 day trough is around 650-700ng. I don’t really care about free t it’s irrelevant to me because this...

Worst experience is what it should have said regarding armour.

I realize you dropped your dose to 126mg but for some guys like myself, I can only tolerate 60-80mg per week. At the dose you’re at, I have every symptom you do. I feel great at 60mg per week and have been at this dose for a couple years. My only problem has been lack of libido which has been a...

I have not. Whenever I tried coming off twice I did 25mg per day but perhaps if I cut the dose drastically with clomid it would work without a ton of side effects

I feel pretty well on trt but past year 5 or so libido has been about non existent. There’s nothing I haven’t tried other than pellets. Really just emotionally flat on trt as well

Not unless I have no other alternatives. Clomid gets bad for me really quick

I wanted to post this to see if any members have stopped long term trt in excess of ten years and ended up better off. There are a couple members on here I have messaged privately that seem to be doing well but I’d like to see if there are any others. I would also like to hear any input from the...

Good point lol

You certainly have a point and avoiding the withdrawal from injections would only be a plus.

As a matter of fact I have some I got 4-5 months ago but never pulled the trigger to give it a chance. My insurance does cover it and it could definitely be a possibility of rectifying the problems. I guess I’m being a big chickenshit because the two times I’ve tried going off injections has...

Yeah with myself there is a day or so here and there but especially after the 5-6 year mark on trt I’m probably 10-15% of what I was even with low t. While trying to come off a couple times there’s been a spot both times around 10-12 days that I feel normal. This goes away as quickly as it...

Madman I respect your opinion but you’ve been on here long enough to know it is a common problem after long term suppression. Even Nelson has stated he’s nearly asexual without hcg. I can’t put a percentage on it and wouldn’t dare do so without hard evidence but libido issues do arise quiet...

I’ve been trying to figure this out for 9.5 of the last 11 years. I basically have no libido on trt but feel good otherwise. There’s honestly nothing I haven’t tried including Wellbutrin. This is a very common problem even though many say it isn’t.

How are you feeling? That’s what really matters

My A1c and blood sugar measurements have always been great. My cholesterol is always pretty high but my triglycerides are in the 60-80 range. Trying a lower t level could certainly be an option.
