Your story sounds similar to mine, including your SHBG and prolactin numbers. Have you considered that you might need a lower dose, not a higher one? I've come down to 120mg from 200mg and things have been improving. I will likely drop to 90mg next. I was chatting with someone yesterday in a...

Looks like Reliable does not ship to Canada

No Rx coupons in Canada sadly. However, once the border opens I found out that a British Columbia Rx can be filled in Washington and is allowed to be brought back over the border!

Good question Vince, as coming off will be a consideration if I can't get this sorted out. Two main reasons. First was a decline in recovery/muscle mass. I enjoy training a lot and it was depressing seeing a slow but steady decline in progress. Second reason was that I have spinal stenosis which...

No but I live close to the border and have got sensitive estradiol tests in the US before. I've always been in range. I've mostly used HCG sporadically as a kicker when the boys get too small. After some reading this morning I think I might try 500IU 3x/wk to see if that does anything.

Just to clarify, The 2nd panel protocol is not what I'm currently on. That was 200mg/wk and 1mg Adex. After that I went down to 150mg, no AI. ED did not improve there but I should have given it longer. I think I only gave that protocol 4 weeks before dropping to my current protocol of 120mg and...

Would love some help trying to sort out potential causes for my ED on TRT now that I actually have old and new labs to post. I should note that the most recent labs in Jan were while I was on AI. I have been on 100mg/wk, no AI previously, as well as 150mg/no AI, and I'm currently 4 weeks into...

I'm canada as well and looking for a cheaper source. Interesting what you say about the patent, I thought that's what generics were?

I've done that without success so far. Lowering to 175mg/wk from 200 to see if that helps. I'm just looking for stories of what ended up working for people, specifics of dosages, etc are appreciated.

I've been at this for 3 years on various doses and combinations of test, AI, and HCG, with ED issues being my last remaining unresolved side effect. Im unable to get bloods with the current state of the world so I'd just like to hear some encouraging stories from those were able to get things...

So I just came back from the Doc. He wants to try INCREASING my test lol. I mean, sure why not. Im getting a script which is fully paid for so might as well! I can always try lowering it myself later and I'll have a stockpile of legit pharma test. So current plan is to increase to 225/wk and...

Is there data to show any difference in peak/trough with SubQ vs IM? We've heard that SubQ might have the benefit of slowing absorption but I'm curious if there's data to back this.

You are correct! BC Canada! I've been on this protocol for 8 weeks. Prior to that I was on 100mg/wk and no AI. Felt fine but had similar ED issues. I had a panel done across the border on that protocol but it was very limited. Drawn at about the same as the recent bloodwork, Thursday afternoon...

Thanks, something to consider. I have a follow up appt with the doc tomorrow so we'll see what he has to say about the results.

So trying to figure out why I'm having on/off ED issues. Currently on scripted 200mg test E and 1mg adex, split into twice weekly doses. I pin sub Q Mon nights and Fri mornings. Blood was taken Thursday afternoon. Anything here that might be linked to ED/libido? I see Progesterone is at the...

I had bacne in my 20's and 30's. I tried pretty much everything for it. The only thing that worked was accutane and it didn't come back after. But now in my 40's and on TRT, I'm having bacne issues again and it's been like this since I stared 3 years ago. Once again I tried everything (topicals...

Every day is a lot. Not sure I'd be able to do it reliably.

I was on 100mg T for quite a while and erections were decent but not as good as pre trt. I was trying to find a sweet spot of T dosing where I didn't need an AI but if it's at the expense of great wood then no thanks.

I will try that but but I was having the issue before trying HCG again. Basically was just on 100 test and nothing else. Let's see how I do on 100 test and .5 adex split between 2 doses a week. How long after changing AI protocol might one expect to notice a difference?

So I'm basically having the exact same issues as the OP. 100mg subq, (50mg/2xWk). E2 is 30.6 in a range of 8-35. I've tried adding .5 adex/per wk but I did that along with 750 HCG as well so I may have just cancelled out the e2 lowering effects of adex with the added HCG. Perhaps I should just...

Thanks Nelson I saw that in your original post above. What I want is to combine that panel with the other health marker tests from the hormone/wellness follow up panel but not have to pay for double T and double e2. I think silver surfer answered my question... I just need to add prolactin and...

Thanks! So those are the only 2 from the ED pant that aren't in the hormone/wellness follow up panel?

Is there a way to add this panel to the "TRT MALE Hormone/Wellness Follow Up Panel" without paying for duplicate parts like Test and e2?

No issues here at .25mg

Pardon me for asking but are those T blood levels typical for someone on a relatively high trt dose such as yourself? 210mg a week seems like a lot for only having upper normal T levels. FWIW, i had erection issues on 200mg. I dropped down to 100mg and things improved. E2 was always kept in check.

I'll do it and see how i feel. If i feel better, ill retest.

Thanks for the info! So I'm going to experiment with lowering e2 either way. I enjoy experimenting on myself and understand the potential risks. With this in mind, is there a better way to slightly lower my e2 levels than a small dose of adex?

100mg test e split mon eve, fri morn. no ai, blood taken thursday morning. Testosterone, Total, LC/MS 484.4 NORMAL 264.0-916.0 ng/dL Estradiol, Sensitive 30.6 NORMAL 8.0-35.0 pg/mL AST (SGOT) 43 HIGH 0-40 IU/L Creatinine 1.32 HIGH 0.76-1.27 mg/dL AST and creatinine are always just a little...

Most likely he won't notice because they probably won't be testing for it. It can look on a test like your balls are still active (which they shouldn't be from the TRT) but it's not a smoking gun that you're using HCG. Plus any doctor who thinks you can't be on test and hcg at the same time...

And just so you're aware, you don't need much if it's just for atrophy. That's what i use it for and i only need 350iu/week. I preload pins and then freeze them because reconstituted hcg only lasts about a month unless frozen.
