    IGF-1 lower after Ipamorelin cycle. Suppressive?

    yes, added to 175mg T weekly. I really like it. At 4 weeks I thought I could feel a difference, then at 7-8 weeks thought it had stopped working, now finishing 12 weeks and feel great. Great pumps all day, growing in the gym for once, great sleep. only sides have been some carpel tunnel in the...

    Clomid with an AI

    The basics of this make sense to me; lower e2 to signal your body to make more T. Use a SERM to help accomplish that action. But I’ve read plenty of reports of ppl saying it is a bad idea. This isn’t the same as using an AI while on TRT to keep e2 at some artificial number. Seems like it would...

    IGF-1 lower after Ipamorelin cycle. Suppressive?

    yeah, like 5mL vials of Cyp were never 5mL. I try to keep notes in my TRT log. The most recent batch I used got 2 vials ordered thru my clinic, one was 6.1mL and the other was 4.4mL. I use single piece insulin syringes with little to no waste, so I don’t think I’m losing any during the shot...

    IGF-1 lower after Ipamorelin cycle. Suppressive?

    The only thing I’ve tried from Empower is their Test, and it’s always been filled so inconsistently that I worry about them not paying attention while making/packaging their products. But, never tried anything else from them. I get my peptides from South Lake Pharmacy & have been impressed so...

    IGF-1 lower after Ipamorelin cycle. Suppressive?

    The short HL should still elicit an increase in IGF-1 tho, so if you injected something that’s meant to increase IGF and 2 hours later you didn’t see that increase, I’d wonder about your product. I ask because I’m taking Ipamorelin/Tesamorelin blend, 4 weeks in my IGF levels had almost tripled...

    IGF-1 lower after Ipamorelin cycle. Suppressive?

    Did you get your IGF tested while on the Ipa to make sure it was working? Or just before and after?

    Big Pharma vs Compounded T Comparison

    I have similar results (without the corresponding lab work), but just feel better on Pharma T. The thing that bugs me about compounded is the vial is never filled consistently. One 5mL bottle had 6.4mL, one had 4.8mL. If that’s off, can the concentration be off too? My 1mL Westward bottles have...

    E2 crashed on higher dose?

    no need to bump, you’ve gotten some good advice already. Time to take it and check back in 6-8 weeks

    I Have a prolactinoma

    Was your TT good before you started TRT? This sounds like a recipe for disaster, since you said your PRL didn’t go high until after your cycles, not while on TRT. Why not stay on TRT dose, check PRL monthly for 3 months, and add in Caber if prolactin stays elevated? I mean you don’t want to...

    Blood work back help

    Looks decent to me. Are you currently on TRT now or did you stop everything? Cos TT looks good but you’ve still got LH & FSH producing

    E2 crashed on higher dose?

    Well at any rate, drop AI dose to .25mg x2 for 6-8 weeks and reassess with bloodwork

    I Have a prolactinoma

    You don’t know if the prolactinoma came before or after you started TRT? Or before or after your cycles?

    E2 crashed on higher dose?

    Wasn’t that e2 72pg after a blast or something? I may be mixing up my TN and EM posts

    Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 (no dac) Plan

    I’m taking a Tesamorelin 1mg / Ipamorelin 500mcg for 7 weeks. Not the same thing, but it’s used to accomplish the same goal. I have not noticed much yet, but this is a long game.

    How to raise estradiol/estrogen (not on an AI - TRT for 10-12 weeks)

    300mg T, 40mg daily dbol, 50mg daily DHEA, 4mg e daily? After that you got bloodwork and it showed that your e2 didn’t increase at all? How long did you run that for? Are you doing this on your own?

    Hormone Unit Conversion Websites?

    why do you want to convert your dosage into other units? It’ll be in mg/mL, and that’s what you want so you know how much to take for each shot.

    Low Libido, Low SHBG Protocol HELP - LABS x3

    I see. I think your solution could be to see if your dose needs to be higher, or have you tried that before?

    Low Libido, Low SHBG Protocol HELP - LABS x3

    You’ve got a lot of room to work with your dose. You might find you feel better with TT/FT higher even with lower SHBG. Your e2 looks fine, I wouldn’t add an AI to an already lower T protocol

    Discontinuation/ PCT discussion with doctor

    Remember PCT is meant to speed up the process of getting your HPTA back in action. The process will progress regardless of if you take anything to make it go faster. however, you’ll return to your pre-TRT levels, most likely. So if you felt bad before TRT, you’ll likely feel bad after stopping it

    Discontinuation/ PCT discussion with doctor

    Clomid I didn’t have a great time with. I stopped after 2 weeks cos I just felt ‘bad’. Whether that was end of cycle feels or the Clomid, don’t really know, never tried it again. However, Nolva hasn’t made me feel like bad, so it’s my preference. I don’t actually know if one works better than...

    Discontinuation/ PCT discussion with doctor

    You really need to get onto Nolva or Clomid and stop the HCG for proper PCT, like you said. 20mg Nolva always worked for me. 4-6 weeks then get labs again, see where you’re at.

    About to start TRT - should I?

    Man I’d find out why your SHBG is so high and see if you can work to lower it to free up some T, before you go full on TRT

    6 months on TRT - No improvement??

    Using a calculator, theres no way your FT is that high. It’s closer to 19ng, which isnot bad but not awesome. Have you looked into why your SHBG is still so high?
