People’s bodies seem to be either T4-focused or T3-focused, relying on intracellular T3 by T4 conversion or more things just coming in from T3 flat out into the cell. T4 usually fixes most things for me that T3 causes in short order, including giving me energy and making me feel like most people...

I never noticed anything like that on T3, either. At first on slow release T3 I had a lot of mental energy that I blew through real quick, but for T3 that was about it, sans it also helping my gut move. About the only loss I had on any form of T3 was muscle glycogen and eventually likely a...

I suppose of note on my blood tests throughout being on T3 and T4 in various forms, my TSH never really changed much.

Could be since you took way more than I did in T3 form. Slow release also seems to cause less suppression since it’s a steady physiological hit, rather than giant spikes. In general in almost everything I’ve ever done or taken, smaller amounts more frequently were superior across all metrics...

On slow release T3 at 25mcg, when I dropped it to 12.5mcg, within a few days my dick was back. Definitely within a week. NDT never gave me any erectile dysfunction in the slightest at 1 grain. Although T4 seems to help things more than anything when it comes to that, there may have been a time...

Getting my thyroid right was probably more useful to me than test, and I’ve done various things over the years with highly divergent results. Mostly wanted it for gut issues as nothing else helped or budged it as I seem to have actual injuries down there. Still figuring that out. Harder when you...

No worries, that’s what I assumed you were doing. To help sum up some of what you said for other guys that could benefit: Your relationship will remain happy and healthy if your girl feels like you have plenty of other options and despite all that you still chose her and you are the one in the...

If you’re in the top 20% of men, you can still do fine, and it doesn’t take much to achieve that. Don’t be fat, work out, dress nicely, get your shit together. Social media did ruin women but it also ruined men. Most guys now masturbate all day and play video games instead of going outside. I...

Long story short, I was with a cluster B chick for years that’s like Johnny’s ex but a lot worse and turned my life inside out much like it did his. I knew what his girl was like once I heard anything about it. It’s always the same shit. Makes dating after on easy mode though if you survive...

Guy I know got one of those stomach procedures several months ago. He’s lost 40lbs since. Best not to mess with too many variables at once, so I’d hold off on TRT for now. You will recover faster from things on TRT, and hold onto more muscle while losing weight, but you also won’t get to know...

I’ve had massive gut issues and removing gluten from my diet, at least in my case, did absolutely nothing. I know plenty of other people that swear they do better without it. I avoid it now in general mostly because the foods I eat now tend never to have it. If you have to eat a lot like I do...

My flaccid variation alters immediately with thyroid hormone intervention in often unpredictable ways. Even if it’s shriveled and almost disappeared when flaccid though, if I’m feeling okay I can get rock hard in a funky place within seconds, so I never much cared. I’m only naked around people...

I came into all this with PFS and although I’ve had plenty of ups and downs, I’m still far better than not, and when things are going well I’m a lot better than before across most metrics. I still have issues with flat muscles that macros do little to help with, dry skin, and I suck at retaining...

Has anyone experimented with splitting up progesterone or pregnenolone doses as opposed to taking it all at once, either in pill or topical form? I’d been on 400mg of pregnenolone pills alongside 50mg of the cream for a while but am coming off of the pills for now because it may make me react...
