    Tsh slightly elevated, doc put me on meds for it?

    In the UK most doctors are next to useless with Thyroid issues. My TSH was 9.8 and the doctor told me it was in range and they only tend to treat people over 10. I did find a doctor willing to put me on trial of 25mcg Synthroid which did very little except push my TSH down to 4.8. According to...

    AM vs PM workouts

    A big factor for me is caffeine intake. If I workout early morning then it is difficult without the kickstart of a coffee. Coffee on an empty stomach and/or a very light breakfast is going to guarantee a great workout but inevitably leads to a crash past 1pm. Tiredness, anxiety, dry mouth...

    Proviron to lower SHBG?

    Proviron used to be prescribed regularly in the UK for high SHBG TRT users until it was discontinued by Bayer. Along with Sustanon it got my SHBG down from mid 60s to mid 30s. Was it just the Sustanon that did that or the Proviron? I am now on Test E at a lower dose and no Proviron and my...

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    It is my understanding that my dose is probably too high if I am aromatising too much? Surely there is a sweet spot we all possess where our testosterone is at a good level but anything above that starts the steady accumulation of E2. Above 1000 seems to be too high for me as my E2 is still...

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    My free T is coming in at 1.95% so that is a reasonable level I would have thought.

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    6 weeks. I had thought that was plenty of time to stabilise?

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    So I guess 80mg a week and still hitting over 1000 is not as unusual as I thought. Would I be right in assuming that Test pushes SHBG down so if I go down further then SHBG could carry on rising? I felt better at 1200 and E2 at 65pg than I do currently at 1000 and E2 at 60 and I suspect that...

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    I am not chasing numbers but I am curious to know if others have had to go to low doses to find a level that does not start pushing E2 up. Not sure if I should titrate the Test E down further or take less HCG

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    I want to avoid an AI if possible. Before I used the Enanthate + HCG I was on Sustanon + Anastrazole for a year put my levels were all over the place. Test E has given me stability but I suspect it is the addition of the HCG which is pushing my levels high. Interestingly, before any Therapy...

    Lowest dose you have heard to achieve 1000 ng?

    I have decreased my dose on 3 occasions and I still keep hitting over 1000ng each time with a corresponding high aromatise to E2. it seems when I decrease my dose my body just seems to metabolise these substances differently. I have titrated down from 100mg of Test E and 1000iu of HCG a week to...

    A change in morning erections - high E2

    That was IM but I am seriously considering switching to sub q or at least giving it a one month trial. I think my E2 is too high at 65 pg/ml and I would hope the slower absorption via sub q would bring E2 down but who knows?

    A change in morning erections - high E2

    No Peyronies or anything like that, no real trouble with erections before but this last few weeks has just turned everything up to 11 with regards morning wood. The free T of .913 is in nmol/L with a range of 0.174 - 0.729

    A change in morning erections - high E2

    Yes it was at trough although as I split my dose into twice weekly 50mg, trough means only 3.5 days. Free T was .913 nmol/L. I think maybe because it is so unusual for me, I am in my 50s and I have never had erections actually wake me up so consistently and with such an uncomfortable ache...

    A change in morning erections - high E2

    I have been on TRT for 18 months initially on Sustanon and now on 100mg Test E a week and 200iu HCG every 2 days Blood work was all over the place on Sustanon. I had thought I had achieved some stability from November through to January on my new Test E/HCG protocol. Latest bloods now indicate...

    Fat neck and Face - is this Test or HCG related?

    Since going off Sustanon and moving to a Test E and HCG strategy my face has changed quite drastically - despite losing 9 pounds of weight this month my work shirts are really uncomfortable around the neck and the skin there is looking leathery and loose, face is puffy as well. I have never had...

    TRT and Why it often Doesn't Work

    Interesting.I know many guys in the UK (including myself) who were prescribed Proviron. I am on a different protocol now but I have since heard the rumour that Bayer are no longer producing Proviron and it is no longer available.

    Strategy to get E2 down just a little bit more

    I have been in the low E2 range a few times now as I am quite sensitive to Anastrazole. To be honest I don't want to touch the stuff again as it just messes me up and I can't get stable. My aim is to get a nice stability just by using T and HCG. Do guys with high body fat aromatize more than...

    Strategy to get E2 down just a little bit more

    Prolactin range was 90miu/L - 330miu/L so I was over range but not crazily so. Free test is just over the top of the range at 20 ng/dl

    Strategy to get E2 down just a little bit more

    Prolactin was 420 miu/L when I was on the previous protocol. So I would like to have thought it had gone down substantially from that. I had 3 prolactin tests last year and they were always at 180miu/L so the 420 result was unexpected. As for symptoms water retention is the main one but also...

    Strategy to get E2 down just a little bit more

    50mg every 3.5 days of Test E 500iu every 3.5 days of HCG That protocol had my E2 @ 60pg/ml. and Test at 860 ng after 2 months it also put my Prolactin well over range. SHBG has been rock steady @ 35 nmol Changed to 100iu of HCG and in 6 weeks this brought my E2 down to 36 pg/ml. which I...

    New guy struggling with TRT

    Hi I have been on TRT for a year now and it's not really working out. I first tried Sustanon, Anastrazole with Proviron but that was up and down and I could not stabilise either T or E2 and so was on one long rollercoaster the result is that a year later I was a couple of thousand pounds...
