Hey all, I don’t come by here much these days as my protocol has been pretty spot on. 154mg T cyp a week, EOD when I travel for long periods, and ED when I’m at home. Haven’t needed Cialis in forever, and the lady is quite happy. Recently (like in the last couple of weeks), my scrotum has...

I’m almost out of Empower t cyp and my new urologist fills my script with Perrigo. Mine is manufactured by Hikma specifically. I’m wondering if I should keep my dose the same or plan to adjust. Any experiences?

Has anyone else experienced weight gain on HCG? I'm also on an antidepressant known for weight gain (Nardil) but I've been fine mysteriously until the day I started HCG recently. Suddenly had tons of food cravings and put on a few pounds (which I suspect is water but who knows).

I've done poorly the last couple times I tried HCG, but my girlfriend and doctor and I decided to give it one more shot to help preserve fertility in the coming years. Plus, this is the first year that I've learned to leave my T cyp dose alone, and have really positive/consistent results. I...

My recent bloods on 200mg/week of T cyp came back as: TT: >1500 FT: >50 E2: 61 Doctor freaked out and told me to lower my dose. I took 3 days off, then went back to 150mg/week, which has worked well for me in the past from what I remember. But I'm in my own personal hell still. No motivation...

Just got some bloodwork back...I've had macroprolactin for a while (supposedly biologically inactive prolactin bound to IgG) but it's hitting some new highs lately, while sexual function is hitting new lows. My neuroendocrinologist thought it was from elevated E2 from TRT (E2 can drive...

I switched 2 days ago to IM injections to see how I feel on them, and if it makes any difference for me. I've felt progressively more fatigued and out of it, to the point of being barely functional and totally unmotivated today. Already took a couple of naps. I'm not entirely convinced this is...

I've had an issue for the last couple of months now where my TT has not been nearly as high as it used to be given a particular dose of T cyp. Early Feb I saw a 600 off 150mg/week. Last week, 730 off of 182mg/week + 150IU HCG EOD. Last fall, I was at 1200 with 200mg/week. Where the hell could...

I finally received quinagolide (another DA like cabergoline) from Canada and took a quarter tablet the last couple nights to see how I feel. well it’s been subtle nausea, dizziness, and this mental fog. And worst of all, NO libido. This is not unlike how cabergoline went for me. Made things...

I've been prescribed cabergoline for a few years now (pituitary tumor), and the side effects have driven me away. Bromocriptine worked a little better (it's weaker), but the fatigue was unbearable. My doctor helped me get quinagolide from Canada, which is a non-ergolide DA. It's apparently more...

Curious if this is unrealistic. Defy recently asked me to try going back up to 200mg/week to fix some libido issues. But I've also wanted to give HCG another shot, and I'm assuming 200mg wouldn't leave much room for HCG. Maybe I'm wrong.

I've been a satisfied patient of Dr Saya for a year now, and the man is nothing short of incredibly knowledgable in his field. However, I've experienced a lot of ups and downs in this journey (as have many), and having decided to take a more active role in treating my pituitary tumor this year...

I’ve searched for hours and read countless answers from people, yet it’s hard to gauge the split on who likes HCG versus who doesn’t. Plain and simple. Don’t think about “well I liked it until my kid knocked the vial over” or “well the UGL one sucked but”. As of today, do you like (and...

I have a similar post on another forum, but trying to make sure I don't overlook anything. The last month or so I've had a hell of a time getting any sexual interest going. It's odd because the last 1.5 months I've done a really great job at cleaning up some bad habits (nicotine, alcohol, poor...

Hey guys, what’s the general consensus on calcium d-glucarate and DIM these days? More recently, I’ve read that both can also increase clearance of testosterone. Do they really help most guys or not? I do notice a libido boost on TRT when I take Cialis, which is known to lower E2.

Recently had two consults with Defy, first because I was getting really angry and anxious on TRT (200mg, lowered it back to 150mg), and another to talk about T prop and how I was doing with the lowered dose. They suggested that my E2 may have been out of whack too, and that if we find that's...

I tried pregnenolone about a month ago based solely on the many positive reviews from others and across the internet. I was absolutely stunned by it, for about a week, after which I started getting really easily angered, and unable to sleep. I stopped for a few days, tried again at a lower dose...

I read threads for a couple hours yesterday as I've been considering trying it out. I can always go back to cypionate anyways! Found a bunch of guys here especially have tried it, but some went off it after a while. Wondering who has stayed on it, or can still say they like it better. My...

After a lot of careful consideration, I have decided to stop. My quality of life has gotten downright terrible. Without getting into labs or further suggestions, at age 35 on 200mg/week, is it unreasonable to stop cold turkey?

A couple of weeks ago I decided to give anastrozole a shot and see how I felt after taking some, now that I'm on a higher T cyp dose (200mg/week). Well, I had erections galore for the first few days after taking .25mg, and then they subsided. I figured it must've worn off (it'd been nearly a...

Either I’ve been living under a rock or I’ve only really seen people discuss it heavily on other forums. No particular reason at this moment, just wondering for future reference.

I've noticed that sometime after the honeymoon period, and sometime probably around shut down, all of the ruminating thoughts and underlying anxiety I've had my whole life just vanished. And then they came back, but slightly worse. It's not unbearable, but I find myself more prone to anxiety...

I tried 30mg pregnenolone this morning with breakfast, and about 2 hours later, was hit with such fatigue, I almost had to leave work. It was truly unbearable. Also had some dandelion tea, and I thought that might have been it - but I made some more and it doesn't seem to be the cause. Writing...

First, I'm not mad about the extra 20lbs I've put on since starting TRT 3 months ago. I needed it. Sadly, I assume most is water, and it's creeping up yet again. I've been reading stickies on here about cortisol and the options available, but I'm a little lost as to where to start. Can anyone...

Hey guys, after a few months on TRT, and leveling out on 150mg T cyp/week (injected daily), with a TT of 716, FT 29.5, and E2 29.3, I decided to give HCG another shot. Previously I felt it was making me anxious. I've been increasing the dose a little each injection, and starting at a low 100IU...

Before starting TRT, my TSH was going something like 1>1.5>2.5 and then on TRT 3.25, and now back to 2.2. Waiting for my consult with Dr Saya next week to discuss in more detail. Alongside it, my prolactin has been climbing. It normally sits around 20-30, but lately has gone into the 30s and...

Recently three things happened: 1. I've been increasingly moody, to the point I'm afraid I'm going to flip out and end up in jail or something. 2. My TSH has been climbing, recently to 3.2, and Dr Saya requested a full thyroid panel. 3. I noticed my mood seems to tank when I don't take...

Got a couple of weeks before my appointment with Dr Saya, but my results are in. There's a few red flags, and hoping someone could shed some light on them so that I feel a little bit better! *I tried posting this in the bloodwork section but kept getting a page not found error* I'm 34 years...

Got a couple of weeks before my appointment with Dr Saya, but my results are in. There's a few red flags, and hoping someone could shed some light on them so that I feel a little bit better! I'm 34 years old, and have never had any major blood test red flags aside from slightly elevated...
