Test Cyp via Good Rx is about $40 for 10 ml 200 mg/ml. I get my ND from Empower but generic test cyp, way cheaper. Cyp and Enanthate produce identical blood conc post inj. (Behre and Nieschlag 1998).

A good friend who is turning 81 this year was Dx with PCa Gleason 6 last year, positive DRE (three years ago but MRI was equivocal at that time and no biopsy at that time) and areas of high grade PIN. Otherwise healthy, aerobic fitness level via VO2max testing of a fit 50 yr old, physique is...

That has been a long standing question in both the HRT and physique community ever since 5 ARi were created. From experience in women, using nandrolone only vs testosterone in dosing around 70 - 80 mg/wk, nandrolone at least in the two I knew did not result in hair loss, the TC did...

Just saw this, here is the link to that post Login • Instagram. Post was from April 28th, 2021.

Harm reduction begins with a doctor that understands the mechanisms of action and side effects of all the common AAS (they differ from drug to drug) and can provide objective and unbiased feedback based on labs, echos, and US data. Cessation for many is unlikely, learning to live on high end HRT...

Someone may have already posted this, came across it recently. A Phase 2 Trial of the Effect of Antiandrogen Therapy on COVID-19 Outcome: No Evidence of Benefit, Supported by Epidemiology and In Vitro Data - PubMed

One of the reasons I like propranolol, shorter t 1/2, my last stress test HR to age predicted max without a problem, but it depends on what you are using the BB for. If it is too keep sympathetic input down to prevent a-fib or v-tach, different story. You need it in circulation all the time.

I may have to look into Nebivolol, older guys at the gym describe the same when their HCT goes up, often times headache as well, everyone is a little different. Viscosity will affect BP, resistance to flow. I'd rather not use the BB but trying to keep food on a fork is important as well. Thank...

I try to keep my HCT below 52%, usually between 49 - 52%, my urologist is good up to 55%, he has not seen issues with higher HCT from HRT. My BP is 120's/70's, use a BB for essential tremor and 1 mg of lisinopril to reduce ANG II. I can't tell if my HCT is 49 or 55%. No difference in anything...

Yes, sorry just saw this. Yearly labs. Aside from Hb/HCT, otherwise fine.

This is from an IG post by Victor Black. Personally I don't worry about a 10 - 15% drop in HDL from either T or ND, but a 50%+ drop from an oral C-17, it matters over time. A 12 week course of 10 mg of OX once every 12 - 24 weeks, probably not clinically meaningful to someone with low LDL and no...

ND = nandrolone decanoate

My hematologist likes my HCT below 50%, urologist who treats a number of patients and transgender sets the threshold at 55%, my comfort level is 52 - 53% when I get a phlebo. Ferritin runs at the very bottom of normal but blood iron is fine. No way to know if the 1.2 g/wk of ND caused the MI...

Nandrolone does bind with the AR (Saartok et al 1984), and weakly with SHBG. From an anabolic perspective (muscle) they are similar so it really doesn't matter, the difference as Gman mentioned is with E2 and DHT. N aromatizes to much lesser extent than T, and DHN is a weak androgen, thus the...

I've asked several docs that have been using ND in practice for everything from HIV to HRT and not one has had concerns about cardio toxicity or has seen it in practice in therapeutic dosing. Sure there are animal studies, where are the human studies to support them? We have data from...

This may have been posted here already, worth a read. Are we overtreating elevated Hb/Hct from HRT? Europe PMC

Go to Figure 1 in the paper attached. Gives a laundry list of compounds and their interaction with various hormonal receptors. Yes nandrolone dose activate the PR.

Have you been checked for sleep apnea? Reflux or hiatial hernia? I used to have terrible problems at night with PVCs/PACs. Documented with MCT and holters. Right after I fall asleep the frequency increases. Negative for SA. Stress always made it worse. Talk to your doc about propranolol before...

I take 10 mg of lisinopril BP, and 20 mg propranolol am, 30 mg pm for essential tremor. No issues at all and little effect on functional capacity exercise wise. Had initially tried an ARB, gave me a headache and was not as effective. BP 120's/70's consistently. Still able to hit age predicted...

Always check CK along with LFTs if you exercise esp resistance training or eccentric work (long down hill run) that results in soreness/muscle damage. My AST/ALT used to be in the 80 - 100 range, usually ALT higher. ALT has a longer half life in circulation and will remain elevated longer than...

Yeah I know it is in a meathead magazine but it was put together by some educated meatheads and really gets at what we've been trying to figure out relative to nandrolone and HRT. It also contains that 4 letter word we don't use on this site either. The use of ARBs or ACEi is one worth noting...

Make sure you have the LC/MS/MS assay, not the standard total testosterone assay. Nandrolone will cross react with the standard assay.

Lisinopril works very well in low doses for me, zero side effects.

I think you answered your own question. It's the thyroid. Check you fT3 and TSH. The lower TSH at extremes, the higher the risk for a-fib.

I think the subtle effects of HDL decreases (10 - 20%) with parenteral androgens is clinically insignificant. Attempts to decrease CAD risk with drugs that increase HDL alone have been unsuccessful, yes we can raise HDL but there is no effect on CAD events. No one has shown that decreases in HDL...

Sx are likely coincidence or you're thinking about it bc of the past experiences with T or you just happen to have developed prostatitis at the same time. DHN is much less androgenic than DHT, effects on the prostate are likely to be less, not more. In addition, not in 3 days, same with the...

COVID is causing a number of inflammatory conditions, reactive arthritis and personally and clients that have had COVID are experiencing post COVID joint problems that were pretty bad for 2 - 3 weeks post COVID. I too have had a flare up of prostatitis. Is is related, maybe. If it responds to...

It would be interesting to look at the transgender population on hormone therapy and severity/outcome of COVID infections.

None of the males I know, some over 70 on HRT have not had any issues with HRT and COVID. One who is 80 barely had Sx, rash, a little fatigue and sinus. I have 4 female clients that have had COVID and are on T pellets, blood T levels are in the normal range for an older guy. The one breast...

One morning could be anything. I'm prone to non-bacterial prostatitis. Stress makes it worse as does lack of sex. Been through one Urolift. It can vary from day to day and wax and wane over weeks. I have good weeks and bad weeks, no relationship to T inj and it wouldn't happen that fast. It...
