Thanks Dr. Saya. That makes sense. I hope you are right. I'll research that and see if I recognize that in myself. I have not noticed any "thinning" at the crown or whatever that you typically think of with going bald. I sent Jill and email and asked her to pass it along to you as well...

Clear out some of your private messages so I can PM you. ��

Oh - I didn't know we could do that. That's good to know. Thanks.

Yeah - I was thinking maybe it's just running at higher levels of test (and DHT) more consistently than in the past. But I've had periods of really high levels before (pellets) when we were first dialing things in, and didn't notice any hair changes. So I'm just wondering if it's something...

Thumbs up. Thanks. Will continue with quad injections.

Yes it is a lot of fluid. It works better to do half on one side and half on the other. But if it absorbs just fine IM - I'd rather just pin it in the quad (which is what i've been doing) and be done with it...

I know the consensus for Test Cyp is that absorption is fine either SubQ and IM. But what about Lipo-C/B12 injections. All the prescription instructions say to inject SubQ. But will shallow IM work just as well? The reason I ask is that I inject 1ml at a time and that forms a fairly big...

I've had great discussion offline with Nelson, but figured others might benefit from this discussion (and might have other ideas / anecdotes to share). Short story: I've been on TRT for over 2 years (pellets about half the time, then moved to injections) and never experienced hair loss. Now -...

He was already at 30-35. Which is the high end of the 20-35 range they typically like to see. And then he was increasing Test dosage by 20mg/week and also adding 800 iu of HCG. One would expect his e2 to climb above current level, based on those changes. So adding a small dose of AI doesn't...

In the United States - the 2% is only available by prescription. Unless of course you buy from overseas supplier through eBay like you did. But then I'm not sure about the quality. Maybe others here have a good non-Rx source for it...

Cool - I haven't read Jay's book, but just bought it for my Kindle. I don't think one can be too well read on the subject. :)

I've read that the original purpose of the Keto was for dandruff and the frequency to address that was 2-3 times per week. But for hair loss, the general recommendation is to use it daily!

Yep - my recommendation as well. Those are the two books I first bought and they are a fast read, and info packed. Learned a lot.

Oh okay. I had incorrectly assumed high DHT was causing hair loss and you adjusted it down. Thanks for the info. Interesting that you need to manage yours up...

Awesome - that's great to hear. I've not worked with him - but he is certainly bright, experienced, and well respected! I'm sure you'll have good results...

Recovery definitely takes longer than the good ol' days. But thanks to TRT - still feeling strong and looking muscular. Just have to manage my volume. I rarely go to failure any more, and I keep the reps/set higher than 8. No more power lifting or 5x5 strength stuff - too hard on my tendons...

Care to elaborate on "treated my DHT"? Did you reduce it for purposes of minimizing hair loss? If so how and what were before and after DHT values?

Weight gain could be due to increased estrogen which can lead to a little water retention. It does in me. I also experienced a bit of weight gain in the beginning which I believe was a bit of muscle "re-gain" as I also got back into the gym after a long layoff.

Yeah - I would keep the HCG since it's not mixed. Whenever I received HCG from Defy - I got one 5,000 IU vial and one 6,000 IU vial. Instead of getting a new 11,000 - tell them you have unused / unmixed 5,000 IU, and see if they'll just prescribe 6,000 initially. That'll save you a bit of...

Well - no more than what is sufficient to saturate plasma levels. See if you can get a hold of this paper: I believe the study indicates that the 2 grams/day was for DHA alone, and the paper goes on to say that DHA will max at 1.2 g/day when it's combined with EPA. So that 1.2g of DHA can...

Without further data - it does seem a bit high for starting dose. Do you have any pre-treatment lab results you can share (Total and Free Test, etc)?

Very cool. Happy to contribute and help others, just as others before me helped me learn a ton so far. Kudos to everyone.

Cool article.

Hard to say if your doctor will try to back you down some. Some are more conservative than others, and we don't know yours. But nothing wrong with that level if all other things (mentioned above) are monitored and fine. One thought - you like the results at 200mg every 10 days. That's...

For the Jarrow brand that was linked - it's $20 for 60 caps. So that would last about 7.5 days if you take 8 per day (4 in the AM and 4 in the PM). So roughly $80/month.

Back when I had some tendon/ligament issues, I tried the following: - glucosamine/chondroiton - seemed to help a little bit - SAMe - didn't notice any benefits - BUT I was taking a low dose. Nowhere near EROs - so I'm curious about trying it again at higher dosage. I have a nagging golfer's...

Interested in learning more of peoples' experience and knowledge of SAMe. Tell more...

My test Cyp and HCG comes from them and I feel better than I felt in years. Maintaining high hormone levels with desired physical and other results. It's definitely quality.

Very cool. Keep me posted on how you like it. And for calves especially - I find a big squeeze and pause at the top, followed by slow 2-3 second eccentric to work very well.

Bryan Krahn is one of the good ones! Good article.

Oh wow - both sides sounds brutal. For some reason golfer's elbow is the one I frequently get and I notice it more with heavy pulling movements. Hope your surgery really helps.
