I have osteoarthitis in my shoulder. I have tried PRP ($1500), physical therapy ($1200), I modified several upper body exercises to work the muscles without heavily inflaming the current state of my shoulder (I get creative), I focus a ton on joint health (CARs, etc), and have found very...

When I ran bloods (while my sex drive was dropping) my estradiol levels were fairly high. Do you think there is any risk to cycling AIs based on how I want my sex drive to be as long as the estradiol levels do not drop below the acceptable range?

This is merely my inconclusive hypothesis based on my experience in the last month when I started increasing AI doses to find my "sweet spot". If I could actually control my sex drive in such a predictable manner, that would be insanely amazing!! I have found that my sex drive largely depends...

Yes, I agree. It is all individual, I was just curious what your experience has been like. I will start from a small dose and work upwards if need be. By me, it will be a script too. My doctor prescribed it, and I wanted to check in with others' personal experiences on it before I start...

Remember that what worked for me may not work for you the same way, so the way your body responds is much better of an indicator of what you need than anything I tell you, but... I started with a micro-dose of one 0.125 mg pill, 2-3 times per week. Worked like a charm. Unfortunately didn't...

Holy shit. And do you have the ability to actually get hard in sync with that urgency? Do you still use it? Isn't 3 mg a ton to take at once? You had no major side effects?

If your estradiol is quite high, why don't you take AIs first? That has helped me in the past when my estradiol levels were high, it got me real horny real quick when I started taking them. (and I was taking a very small amount of AIs as well)

I found this thread submitted by @Nelson Vergel : PT 141 forum But it is only general information. Does anyone here use PT-141 for assistance with arousal? How has it been? I just got approved for this treatment since I have been disinterested in sex recently... (I haven't felt the need to...

Out of curiosity, then why don't you switch to a lower concentration injectable? Like 50 mg prop or something like that? Or a gel or patch? Androgel if I recall correctly gives you like 5 mg per pump (something like that) which is much more similar to our bodies' natural daily production had...

That is absolutely bonkers. Man you are very lucky, you must be saving so much money on T since you do not need all that much to reach peak levels.... Yeah this doesn't happen with me lol. You are lucky to have such great conversions. Appreciate it, thank you.

Why would you want to stay off AIs completely if you need them to keep your estrogen levels in check? Especially if all you need is a micro dose? Yeah 0.25 mg is two pills by me. What I decided to do is add 1 more 0.125 mg pill per shot of cyp (currently take 2 per shot). I am going to do...

20mg cyp daily is not considered a high dose. That's 140mg a week. Generally speaking, the maximum therapeutic dose is 200mg weekly.... I doubt anyone (except those really lucky few) can get to supra physiological levels from 140mg cyp a week.

Out of curiosity, how soon does Anastrozole work? And which makes more sense: 1) Two pills in one day -OR- 2) 1 pill one day, 1 pill the next day Is one of the two above options preferable? My guess is that it is better to have two days the same as that keeps it more "balanced" as far as my...

Yes, I have. More convenient for me to inject once a week. I felt no real difference between once a week and twice a week split. Several times you say? Why several times? Were you adjusting T dosages as well that you decided that? I could understand that. If I can ask what dose AIs were...

So long story short, I have been for years without an AI. When I started taking them (1-2 a week @ 0.125 mg/pill) my sex drive got better. I had no idea I had an issue to begin with even with the blood tests with high estradiol due to the fact that I thought I felt fine (and my doctor said...

That is what strikes me as really odd, that your LH is double the normal amount when your total T levels are on the high end and your free T is still considered normal, at least within the normal range, even if it is on the lower-ish end. When your hypothalamus gland detects insufficient levels...

I don't understand why someone with T levels as high as yours would do TRT. There are a lot of reasons that you could be feeling the way you feel. If you go on TRT, your T levels won't be all that much different than they are now, and you'll shut down your own natural production on top of...

I was told this by somebody a while ago. Is this true? And if it is, does that mean over time an increased dose is needed to achieve the same results? The person who told me this said the only way to "re-sensitize" them is to completely stop injections for 2-3 months. I don't know how I feel...

Let's say it is unopened, in a closed box not near sunlight, at room temperature. Is there a certain point it tends to get "weaker"? One year after the BUD? Two years after? Right away? Same question regarding AIs. Any data in regards to AIs as well?

What did it solve for you? Are you taking AIs? How long did it take you to feel better (in whatever it made better for you)? I am always wary of adding more stuff to my lifelong treatment, but if it may change stuff for the better I am open to trying it.

Can you elaborate on what exactly got better? And how long it took? I don't understand how high estrogen correlates with decreased physical sensitivity of the penis. Also as a side (but related) question, to my understanding it is the ratio E:T that matters rather than the raw number, when...

I am having trouble with sensitivity in my penis (it is not sexually sensitive at all), and recently when I had sex it was VERY difficult to maintain an erection with a condom on. I was only able to maintain it with no condom, and even then I had some issues... So I am posting this thread...

I really wonder why this is. I actually like prop, a lot. But it requires frequent injections, which I am not a fan of. Has anyone on this forum felt a difference between cyp and enanthate? They are supposed to be nearly identical. I wonder why they would feel different.

Is it possible that one's body does not react the same to cypionate, propionate, enanthate? I mean it is all the same hormone, so why would it be different? Did it ever happen to anyone where you inject similar protocols between similar esters (say 200 mg weekly cypionate and then start with...

Excuse my ignorance, but why does low shbg have an influence on injection frequency? I recall having high shbg levels means less free T is around, meaning having "high" levels of T will not matter since your body will not put it to use. Am I misunderstanding how this works?

That answered my question, thank you sir.

16 mg? Is that a typo?

I am asking about all three most common esters: cypionate, enanthate, propionate; because I know that the peak happens all at different times post-inection for all three of those... Generally speaking, I always do blood tests when my T levels are lowest (the day of my injection before I inject)...

In response to this answer, there is also this cheaper alternative: ROIDTEST™ | Anabolic Steroid Test Kit

Ok so I found exactly what I was looking for, but it is not in the US: Anabolic Lab - Independent Analytical Lab Testing for Anabolic Steroid Harm Reduction Are there any US based locations that do this?

Browsing their site, it looks like they offer kits, not a service. Are there any labs that will test my prescriptions for me? I am not a lab technician or pharmacist, I don't trust my own ability to accurately test anything.
