Not great.

It's been 8 years

Dropped to 80mg today (40mg x2/wk)

I'll run HCG to help with part of that

Coming off completely would be a last option. I'd like to exhaust everything else first

So this is just me spot balling here but I've been on trt since late 2016. I'm 45 now.I mainly went on trt so that it would be easier to run a higher dose once or twice a year without having to pct. I also figured the added ability to hold muscle, extra energy, well being, etc, of trt would be...

I've been taking DHEA at 50 ang 100mg for a couple months but don't really notice a difference in anything. How long does it take topically?

How's your prolactin? I had the same sensitivity issue running nandrolone on top of 150mg test. .5mg caber once a week solved that

As others have said, even your 250/week dose was probably way too high. I'd start around 75mg/week to be honest. When you make a change to your dose, you need to wait about 2 months to fully feel the effects. Getting blood work at that point is the best way to see what's happening. The idea...

Interesting! 112mg/wk, I'm surprised your free T is so high with that SHBG. Although I guess you don't really have a trough at which to do blood work. And why daily with an SHBG like yours? Just to keep everything as stable as possible?

Nice labs! What's your protocol? Do you require a fairly high TRT dosage to achieve those T numbers, given your relatively high SHBG?

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue lol. I'm running 150 test, 300 deca at the moment. Erections are good but definitely experiencing delayed orgasm. I've tried a little caber here and there and I think it helps more with the erections than the anorgasmia

Your ratio is largely driven by your SHBG level. A higher number binds up more testosterone, leaving less free T. It's great to have a decent level of free T but I don't think the ratio matters much. @Nelson Vergel ?

Free is the one you're mainly interested in. It is unbound and therefore "free" to do all the positive things we associate with TRT. Your peak to trough spread is fairly minimal, though that's too be expected with EOD injections. What's your SHBG?

As others have stated, your dose is probably too high with that low of SHBG. Mine is around 24 and I've been in a process of lowering my dose and reassessing every 6 weeks. I'm currently at 90mg, which I think might be too low for me.

I've also come down to 90mg/wk and doing better but not as good as pre TRT libido

Those explains my recent e2 reading of 190

"Stated" autocorrect

Thanks Nelson! I also watched a video last night where you started that you'd been on nandrolone for 20 or so years before. True?

What are your reasons for running it, and how long has it been in your protocol?

That study used high doses and rats. Vince, you have nandrolone in your protocol, does that mean you're not concerned about it's potential health side effects? If so, Is that because of the low dose?

Is there any added health concern with nandrolone? I seem to recall that it could have a negative effect on heart muscle tissue. I'm happy to be wrong though as this might be a potential route for me given that I'm lowish SHBG.

I'm also interested in this. My SHBG is on the lower end

Standard. We dont have the sensitive E2 test in BC with LifeLabs so I understand the numbers may not be very accurate. However, this 190 values is MUCH high than i've ever been at. Another potential confounding factor is that I take biotin, which i just found out can affect certain assays...

Thanks for the feedback! I pin Monday morning, Wednesday midday, and Friday evening, so the spacing is even. Bloods were taken Wednesday before pin I would prefer not to rely on pde-5s if possible so I will lower dosage to 90mg and see how that goes. I also have the option of coming off TRT. I...

I pin 3x week. Do you mean skip 2 pins or skip 2 weeks?

Original post is old, see my last comment and labs

Ok here's my latest labs @ 7 weeks of 120mg/wk split m/w/f, no ai. blood taken at trough. E2 is non sensitive but still, wow! It would seem that I can still lower my dose considerably. I'm thinking 90mg/wk. The E2 probably explains the crazy bacne I've been having Test Total...

Extended benefits in canada dont cover c&v so a prescription wouldnt affect pricing

I'm guessing the guys with lower SHBG and therefore higher free T, need less exogenous test for things to work properly
