I've seen a couple both ways factoring in multiple forums. But yea, some guys definitely don't like it, I need to keep that in mind. Gonna talk to Defy about it and see what they think too. I'm sure the one thing they have on us here are many more reports pointing both ways (as not everyone...

I read threads for a couple hours yesterday as I've been considering trying it out. I can always go back to cypionate anyways! Found a bunch of guys here especially have tried it, but some went off it after a while. Wondering who has stayed on it, or can still say they like it better. My...

Was thinking about HCG but my reaction to it is too poor to risk it. Bloating, anxiety, blood pressure, the works. Didn't inject today, so 1 day in the bag already.

This gives me a lot of hope, thank you. How much were you on and roughly for how long?

Edited my post...it's been closer to 4 months actually, not 6 months.

Both fasting and not :/ I've probably had my prolactin tested 1-2 dozen times over the past couple years. It only came down on cabergoline BUT sexual function on that (and bromo) was greatly diminished.

The prolactin is the part that really makes me wonder. Like it's not super high at all but it's clearly out of range (30-70, top of range being around 20). I guess I'm not expecting my T to improve from it but it'd be nice.

It's had its ups and downs but I'm going to take the input of those around me and go for it. I have a pituitary adenoma and I'm wondering if that's the root cause, and worth treating instead. Going to go that route I decided.

I was for a while, and actually stopped HCG just a month ago. So there isn't much shrinkage.

After a lot of careful consideration, I have decided to stop. My quality of life has gotten downright terrible. Without getting into labs or further suggestions, at age 35 on 200mg/week, is it unreasonable to stop cold turkey?

I'm definitely feeling better but not perfect. And no sexual function :/ I will add that I've been having the same weirdly strong cravings for sweets I had the first time I crashed my E2.

I've heard about the rebound too, but not many guys seem to have any verification of it. Just that it went back up. So who knows. Lab test was before daily morning injection.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to give anastrozole a shot and see how I felt after taking some, now that I'm on a higher T cyp dose (200mg/week). Well, I had erections galore for the first few days after taking .25mg, and then they subsided. I figured it must've worn off (it'd been nearly a...

Thanks madman - this seems to be the common story...tough it out and the body adapts to the E2 levels. I'll admit I'm a little discouraged lately as I lost some libido by going up in dose. I was at a TT of 700, and then increased my dose from 150 to 200. E2 was just under 30. Before TRT, my E2...

I'd say I've heard this the most. I think the most common reason I've seen guys take an AI is to offset higher bodyfat while they work on that.

Thanks man. Still debating this one. I noticed when I raised my dose from 150 to 200 (my TT at 150 was about 700), I lost some libido and gained some erectile function. Maybe a little more water weight. But was also going through a rough breakup at the time and started drinking more than I’d...

Interesting you have issues injecting daily. I never gave E3D a shot so I’d be curious if I would feel better in fewer injections. I’ve heard that’s rare though.

Really good slide Nelson, thank you!

lol....I mean are there many on here as well? Is that an isolated group or a big thing?

What about all these guys who suggest just letting E2 land wherever it goes?

Either I’ve been living under a rock or I’ve only really seen people discuss it heavily on other forums. No particular reason at this moment, just wondering for future reference.

Well after a few days on pregnenolone...I suspiciously have a REALLY high heart rate and worsened anxiety. Couldn't sleep for the life of me last night either. @Systemlord we may be in the same boat man. I'm going to wait a couple weeks, let everything else level out, and try a lower dose and...

Ah gotcha, I got lucky somehow and even with a history of moderate acne, TRT seems to have improved my skin. Does T prop feel any differently being shorter acting? I read one guy somewhere say he could "feel" every injection, but I find that would wear off in time, and that you're just chasing...

What sort of sides? I've been curious if the other esters would work better, but it's too early on to determine what's a side effect and what's just me adapting. Personally so far it seems like my libido was better at 150/week of t-cyp than it is now at 200mg, but 200 has actually helped my...

I would think maybe your E2 is spiking and then clearing out a little, but that's a total shot in the dark. Have you ever tried a lower dose of T to see if maybe you're on too much currently?

Interested in this as I have had consistently poor reactions to CDG, especially pre TRT. Unfortunately I did not get blood work to back it up, but noticed a sharp decrease in mood and libido. It's much less evident on TRT but I definitely have not noticed any significant or positive changes...

I've seen a bunch of benefits from it still, so really trying to stick to it and sort stuff like this out if I can. Great link, thanks Nelson. Trying to figure out if it's possible to get back to that anxiety free state that happened for a while, it felt so much more natural. When I've taken a...

I've noticed that sometime after the honeymoon period, and sometime probably around shut down, all of the ruminating thoughts and underlying anxiety I've had my whole life just vanished. And then they came back, but slightly worse. It's not unbearable, but I find myself more prone to anxiety...

Thanks Vince. I'll let everything level back out for at least a few days and try again. I had seen a lot of guys suggest 30mg so I figured I'd start there. Whoops.

I actually wonder if it's my NAC supplement starting to cause drowsiness. It's happening again today (not as badly), and I know that can be a side effect of NAC. It's been stimulating up until now for me, but maybe that's changing. I'll try stopping that first to clear that up.
