    Unable to access the paper but it was suggested Hadley experienced an 8 hr erection along with other sides after inj melanotan II, that started the pursuit of a more specific peptide, PT 141.

    Nandrolone and hematocrit?

    ND has a long half life, doubtful cutting the dose to 100 mg over a 2 week period would result in a meaningful drop in Hb/HCT and RBC lifespan is about 120 days and as MM stated, no need for 200 mg/wk for joints. 50 - 100 mg should be plenty. ND is a real driver of erythrocytosis, only inj...

    Does Testosterone Make COVID-19 Worse?

    Thus far I've known a number of older men and women at the gym that are on HRT (T) and have had COVID. All mild cases with full recovery in 2 - 4 weeks, myself included.

    superior efficacy of tamsulosin + PDE5i in treating BPH-related LUTS and ED

    Been doing this for years, yes it does work better and there are no additional sides, perhaps more nasal congestion. Add in a small dose of Trimix and its like you're 20 again.

    Oxandrolone and Joints

    Androgens and SARMs upregulate SR-B1 and that drives down total HDL-C, the question remains, does the decrease of total HDL as a function of androgens really increased CAD risk? I don't think it does. Now if someone is taking large doses of a C-17 androgen and their HDL is 5, that could be a...

    Oxandrolone and Joints

    15 mg of oxandrolone will cut total T by 35% in 5 days (Sheffield-Moore, et al. 1999). SHBG is also reduced significantly esp with C-17 orals. DHT and E2 would parallel those decreases, and with low SHBG clearance would increase. It would make no sense to take oxandrolone without a base of...

    HRT after breast cancer? looking for Doc referral

    Labs came back. Her first pellet contained 180 mg of T and 0.08 mg of anastrozole, total T 4 weeks post was 420 ng/dl and E2 < 5 pg/ml. Second pellet 200 mg T and 0.04 mg anastrozole. Total T 4 weeks post is 514 ng/dl and E2 still < 5 pg/ml. This dosing seems to be working very well. She feels...

    PT 141

    52H IMO, if it will hold 4 ml, dilute with 4 ml. That will give you a concentration of 2.5 mg/ml or 250 mcg/0.1 ml or 10 units. If you want to start with 500 mcg, then inj 20 units or 0.2 ml of that concentration. I have always found it easier to titrate and dose accurately with lower total...

    PT 141

    IMO, stop thinking units and know the total dose you are injecting per fractional ml. Units on the syringe are useless unless you know the mcg per unit or 0.01 ml and that depends on the concentration. There are 100 units per 1 ml. If you mix 1 ml of water with 10 mg of PT-141 you have a...

    CJC Ipamorelin alternating with Tesamorelin / Ipamorelin

    The dosing is in the microgram range (mcg) not milligram. Generally reconstituted at about 2000 mcg/ml, 1 unit or 0.1 ml = 200 mcg. Something is not making sense here.

    Weight Training Can Increase Liver Enzymes

    ALT will be increased significantly along with LDH. GGT is not affected. ALT has a longer half life in circulation and will take longer to return to baseline. Always have them run CK along with the LFTs. If all are elevated and it concerns the practitioner, then take 7 - 10 days off all...

    Dr Glaser. HOME - Millennium Wellness Center One of my clients that had BCa and a mastectomy sees Dr Glaser for a T combined with anastrozole pellet. It has resolved nearly all of the sides of anastrozole while keeping her circulating E2 < 5 pg/ml. Her total T is 420 ng/dl. No other sides...

    My First Labs With Nandrolone

    Keep an eye on HB/HCT with the added nandrolone, it can be more potent relative to erythropoiesis than T. When testing DHT also make sure you use the LabCorp LC/MS as their may be cross-reactivity with DHN.

    PT 141 diminishing effect on erections?

    500 - 750 mcg, but start low and figure out what works for you. The dose of Vyleesi for women in the auto inj is 1750 mcg. Most of the on line peptide companies sell a 5 mg vial. Reconstitute with 3 ml of bacteriostatic water. Each 0.1 ml = 167 mcg. Dose accordingly.

    Anabolic Steroids: A Medical Perspective

    I have considerable respect for Dr Bhasin, he was publishing cutting edge research on T in dosing up to 600 mg/wk when I was still in grad school. He is very conservative, a little surprising considering the work he has done in the field. The point he makes about the majority of users and...

    Testosterone Replacement After Prostate Cancer

    Gels take about 1 minute to apply if that, the half life is short and you could stop anytime should your PSA start to go up or HCT rises and you are not comfortable with it. It is not like a pellet or even injection with a long half life. If your doctor is comfortable with it, and insurance will...

    Testosterone Replacement After Prostate Cancer

    Testosterone therapy does not increase the risks of prostate cancer recurrence or death after definitive treatment for localized disease. The gels are least likely to cause an increase in HCT and it can be treated with blood donations or phlebos. Monitor PSA and HCT and enjoy life.

    Deca for TRT - effects on e2 and hematocrit vs Test?

    Both Test and Deca were used for anemia years ago, I've always found as have others I've known that have used it (male and female) that Deca is a more potent mg/mg than T relative to erythrocytosis. Keep an eye on it and see how it works for you.

    cypionate dose protocols for woman

    Estradiol conc in women range from roughly 10 - 350 pg/ml, testosterone 15 - 60 ng/dl = 150 - 600 pg/ml. Really testosterone dominant. My post is simply my observations and opinions based on Glaser's publications in Maturitas, what clients and other women on legit T, not juicing for a physique...

    cypionate dose protocols for woman

    100 mg/ml. A couple had used 200 mg/ml in a pinch, but 100 mg/ml works better although more expensive and harder to find. Small dosing is more difficult with 200 mg/ml.

    cypionate dose protocols for woman

    My non-medical opinion. Sub-Q TC IMO is the best approach for HRT (T) in women. Inexpensive, very effective, easy to administer and control dosing. I have about 12 female clients on prescribed T (creams, pellets and sc inj), and there are a number of others at the gym where I train clients...

    Must I donate blood while on TRT?

    I check ferritin about twice a year, always low end of normal. I go back and forth with my hematologist about ferritin. Yes it is the indicator of iron stores but my blood iron is usually at the higher end, everything else is fine. Platelets always the low end of normal, I take an aspirin EOD...

    Must I donate blood while on TRT?

    Erythrocytosis is a function of dosing, route of administration, age and genetics. I've been on HRT since I was in my early 30's, now 62. I didn't have issues with high HCT until I was in my late 40's. Switched to a gel that was both expensive and ineffective, after two years my HCT still went...

    It takes about a minute or so to draw, really not an issue. In addition, the needle has no hub or hub loss of roughly 0.1 ml. Matters if you are using a multi dose vial. Been using them for over a year, works really well for me and others I know that also use them.

    PT 141

    10 mg/ml is a high concentration. Vyleesi dosing is 1.75 mg or 1750 mcg per dose. If you read the vyleesi package literature, yes it is approved for women but the sides will be the same. IMO don't exceed 500 mcg for the first dose, see how you respond. That would 0.05 ml or 5 units on the...
