Hopefully. One problem is that opioids are the big issue here. And unfortunately testosterone as a scheduled drug falls into the same basket for regulation purposes. Maybe applying different rules for different schedules drugs or removing some from this altogether

@Nelson Vergel submitted my comments. Thanks again for letting us know

No thyroid meds

Couple of days 6.25 then 12.5

I have started iodoral 12.5mg recently. Have tons if energy and have been sleeping better (on and off). Bad quality sleep has been a problem for me for years. Blood work done on several markers and low iodine was the only thing off. Lets see how this goes

8-10% BF 210 pounds 6’2’’. Blood glucose levels are correlated to body fat and other health issues. My FBG has been 98-105 and postprandial would take a long time to go back below 100 if it did. I wanted to test a theory that my bad sleep, last bit of abdominal fat and other issues might be...

Problem with semaglutide is weight loss. I am already super fit and not looking to lose weight (i am looking to add lean mass). Semaglutide reduces hunger and appetite so i think it should be counterproductive for me

Yeah those are pretty useful. After paying more attention to my glucose levels my body fat levels (already low) are dropping even further without any changes in diet or workout routine. I am sleeping better as well. However if i am really stressed out even with medication blood glucose levels...

I do whenever possible. Glimepiride is a Sulfonylurea that has a pretty safe profile from my research. Also the dose i am using is pretty minimal. It works by helping beta cells to release insulin and also seems to improve insulin sensitivity. Also has a minimal impact on fasting insulin...

Thanks for the input! I have tried everything to lower my blood glucose levels but adding 0.5mg of glimepiride did the trick of really bring down glucose levels to “optimal” levels. In addition to that i take 500mg metformin at night (however metformin even at 1000mg a day never really had a...

A lot of research data shows that high normal glucose levels can increase cardiometabolic risks. Life extension for example suggest optimal fasting glucose levels should be between 80-86 mg/dl. Does anyone here try to proactively lower they normal glucose levels to optimal levels through the use...

Does defy offer semaglutide? You guys that are using buy brand name or get from compounding pharmacy? If from compounding which pharmacy?

Does any compounding pharmacy offer semaglutide?

Well not an easy answer. When i switched from E3.5D intramuscular to daily Suqb i increased my weekly dosage. Long story short my TT and FT levels plummeted in subq (i tested this a couple of times with same results). And hematocrit was unchanged to 1-2 points lower but still 52+

Try I3C. Once it is completely gone i always taper it. 5 days 10mg 5 days 5mg 5 days 2.5mg… Dr Crisler agreed with that

Tamoxifen makes me feel awful. But if i take it with I3C it makes the whole process much less unpleasant.

Specially for gyno of the lump type it usually works really well but takes a couple of month of daily use to work. The tapering at the end is important. Tamoxifen half life is long but yes SHBG will get back to normal no need to worry

In my personal experience it raised SHBG significantly but no effect on estradiol

Lol. May i ask where your HCT sits?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019483218305765 Any thoughts? Hematocrit and blood viscosity were significantly lower at 4-8h after Amlodipine administration “ The causative factor for the reduction in these HR parameters is the reduction in Hct. It is interesting to note...

It shouldn’t. At 100mg a week your HPTA is most likely fully suppressed so additional testosterone shouldn’t cause changes in fertility by itself. So my opinion is if you are fertile under current protocol a bump in testosterone dosage in theory should not affect fertility

Be careful because nandrolone pretty much does not aromatize. So if you don’t add a reasonable dose of testosterone to the mix your estradiol levels might tank which is not good

B12 at higher doses can do the opposite. Increase hematocrit

Just an odd observation. When i used tamoxifen with TRT (no HCG) my testes size stayed normal despite the fact that LH levels were pretty much zero. On testosterone only i get pretty bad atrophy.

Is it feasible for compounding giants like Empower to apply for a BLA and then be able to produce and sell HCG or the cost is too high to make economic sense?

Dont bother. Thats normal specially with an insulin syringe.

Anyone?

Most users here have a history of struggle that to a smaller or larger extent was helped by initiating hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

I have been doing so yes. Hopefully someone reads and join the cause

Nelson A lot of celebrities use bHRT. Have you tried to engage these celebrities in their social media platforms? Are they even aware of this problem? If one celebrity backs this up it can really become viral

All this discussion is valid as we all worry about the consequences of the FDA banning compounded hormones. But lets focus in trying to avoid this. Last i checked the website that @Nelson Vergel put together to fight this he only got 22% of the target number of people. Lets forward to friends...
