Yeah, I've done it before making my own, but I just received my 2 vials of Cyp and my Dr. wont fill anything else until they are gone...

I may go to the Cyp/Prop blend 160/40 that is available to me with the daily injects... I just wish my pharmacy had 100/100 cyp/prop blend, that would be ideal for daily injects...

Cyp @ 20mg minus ester = 14mg pure test and Prop @ 20mg minus ester = 16mg pure test... I'm wondering if I should inject at night before bed to take advantage of the Cyp peak in the morning/day time hours when I'm active/working out....

I've injected both Cyp and Prop daily at the same amount (I've experimented with each for several months) and astonishingly my TT and FT were alot higher with daily Cyp injects when testing at trough the following day... TT with Cyp was 735 and TT with Prop was 502, FT with Cyp was 25.5 and FT...

My normal Thyroid levels are usually top 10% of range for FT3, bottom 5% of range for FT4, 2 - 2.4 TSH, RT3 ratio in check.... On paper my Thyroid levels look good, but my symptoms resemble Hypo... Only thing I suggest is give Thyroid supplementation a shot and see how you feel and what...

I just started back on Test Cyp @ 16mg ED.. SubQ...... my SHBG on last lab was 8.8.... when I used Thyroid (Armour) at 30mg (1/2grain) last time my SHBG went up to 28...

Thyroid supplementation will increase SHBG... but it will reduce your own thyroid levels unless you take enough Thyroid to replace your original Thyroid levels...

You may be right... especially looking at my labs after only being on 1/2 grain (30mg Armour) for several months they weren't completely tanked, so I may be able to get to good levels with just a full grain/60mg or grain and a half... The real world result from just a half grain was that I...

Yes, I remember exactly what I took as I keep a log of regimen of what I was taking during all my lab tests... I never tried to increase my NDT as I am afraid to fully commit to NDT/thyroid replacement doses especially due to the fact that you have to slowly build up dosages over several months...

From my many posts on this forum many people probably know by now that I am a Low SHBG guy (8-18 labcrop range) which manifested after starting TRT 10 yrs ago... I have never gotten dialed in despite numerous changes in Test dosage, injections, etc... It's been a struggle to lose weight despite...

I guess I'm on the opposite spectrum from you as I have been on a fairly low to moderate doses my entire 10 plus years on TRT (100mg or under per wk) and I have never felt great mood/energy wise, never felt the amazing strength gains, sleep has sucked, etc... The one thing that has remained...

FWIW, I wasn't naturally low SHBG, prior to trt I was mid 40's SHBG... only after starting TRT did my SHBG drop to very low, even on low doses of Test my SHBG stays low.. However, I did do a 4 month trial of 20mg Cyp ED SubQ and my trough was TT 745, FT 26 and SHBG raised to 28, and my E2 also...

Imho, going from 120mg to 175mg/wk may seem like a big jump but based on my labs with various Cyp doses over the years (I initially started out at 200mg/wk when I first got on TRT) I feel that this would be able put me at the best range to immediately gauge how I feel... At some point during the...

are you IM or SQ???

Ok, I just read through the entire Low SHBG sticky thread and have been researching all over this forum regarding low SHBG and Trt dosing... I was able to pull a lab test from 12 years ago prior to starting TRT and I had a SHBG of 44 (lab corp range)... Since starting TRT my SHBG has dropped...

Nobody gave an answer to this question... would the long term esters continue to build on top of each other (a continuous overlay of sorts) which equal a continuous peak if the ed inject protocol remained exactly the same... Any thoughts?

I'm confused now as I've read from multiple reputable sources that SHBG does in fact play a big role in the absorption/clearance of Testosterone regardless of the esters.... Ex. a normal SHBG guy would be able to get away with E3d or 4d of test Cyp injects as their trough would not be drastic...

@Dr Caleb Calkins In regards to my very low SHBG (8.8 on labcorp SHBG range), do you recommend more frequent injections (ED or EOD)?

Honsestly IM and SubQ are equally easy for me.... I use a 27g 1 1/2" needle for my IM injects in the Buttox and you can't even feel it going in and literally takes me the same amount of time to inject as SubQ... For SubQ I use 27g 1/2" insulin needle alternating left/right buttox.... as I...

When I switched to daily SQ from 3xW IM for about 6 months, my Total T increased, FT slightly increased, E2 doubled and SHBG increased.... Total T increased by over 50% (400 to 800's), FT was already above the 100% labcorp range but still increased slightly, E2 jumped from mid 20's to 50's, Shbg...

I had switched from IM (3xwk/120mg wk test cyp) to SubQ (ED inject/ 120mg wk test cyp) for about 6 months about 1 1/2 yrs ago and with SubQ my Total Test was 40-50% higher (went from 400's to 800's lab corp), FT was slightly higher (upper 100% plus of labcorp range), SHBG raised from single...

So I did the calculations and where I stand as of last lab test with Total T @ 407, I am at 14.7ng/dl...... (Total T 407, FT 24.3, Albumin 4.7, SHBG 8.8) Keeping all things the same and increasing Total T to 800 puts me at 30.7ng/dl..... So this theoretically supports my thoughts that I...

Yes, SHBG was very low (bottom 5% of labcorp range, mostly 15 and lower).... I used AI (arimidex) very rarely if at all as my estradiol and e2 sensitive labs have all been mostly ideal ranges (between 20-30 labcorp range)... I didn't realize that I was neglecting my total test as it was never...

I think I might have found out why I wasn't feeling so good on TRT all these past years... I wasn't optimizing my Total T.. I was focusing too much on my free T which was always in the top 90% or higher of the free range which is great but my Total T was in the bottom Labcorp range (mid...

Im planning on using IPA at 200-300mcg per night and have to figure the amount for CJC because it has DAC so I only need to inject 2x week...

I've decided to make the jump into Growth Hormone peptides and have CJC 1295 w/DAC and Ipamorelin on the way... (I've read that the CJC and Ipamorelin is far more effective when used together). I've did my research and I'm pretty confident with how to dose Ipamorelin (100 to 300 mcg per night)...

Also, I have been searching for some stimulants to help me get motivated to work out... Caffeine doesn't really do anything for me anymore... I tried modafinil about a year ago and it worked for about a month and then stopped... I tried adderall and I felt absolutely nothing... so I am...

Gman86, I never tested my temps (out of laziness, no motivation do so....) Atm, I am not on Thyroid anymore.... when I was taking the 1/4 grain NDT, I decided to ramp up my thyroid NDT (getting up to almost 2 grains) and when I had labs tested my FT4 and FT3, etc.. was all in toilet and I...

IMHO, you have the exact same Thyroid labs as me and your FT3 looks fine... I'd concentrate more on trying to get your FT4 into midrange... I experimented with 1/4 grain NDT (Armour) for about 6 months and although I didn't feel anything energy/motivation wise, I did however start dropping...

I have had my Thyroid checked numerous times but no one knows what to do... My FT4 is bottom 5-10% of acceptable range, My FT3 is top 80% of acceptable range, my RT3 when last checked was not an issue so I wasn't pooling.... TSH fluctuates between 2.1 to 3.4.... I think TRT threw my Thyroid...

The biggest issues for me with TRT were the following (been on for the past 10 yrs, 90% of the entire time not even close to being dialed in): low Mood, low motivation, depression symptoms (hypo symptoms)... feel like Im going through life just being there but not living it, just feel flat all...
