Thank you. This is all pretty me to me. None of my previous Dr have tested my ferritin or iron levels before. Only my hemoglobin and hematocrit. Have you tried to up your ferritin levels to see how you feel? I feel like I'm just going in circles.

Got to love amazon. I was not supplementing preg but 2 hours ago I ordered a bottle and it just arrived. I am going to try the switch over to prop and give it a shot. I have a couple weeks left of cyp that I am going to finish off before I start. One question though. You suggest starting with...

Amen brother. I was shocked when I went in. Waited 3 months to see him and for him to tell me that. I got iritated and basically told him to fuck off. Just frustrating trying to find any TRT doctors with any knowledge but hey... thats why this forum is great. Luckily my endo is cool about most...

Thank you for the insights. Yeah I've basically just kept lowering my dose over the past 2 years to try and curb my anxiety and heart palps. I've never really had any serious anxiety until the past couple years. And the biggest problem is the head fog. Just can't seem to focus or concentrate on...

Yeah, I've mulled this over for a while now. Unfortunately, my endo is a hard no on prescribing me any AI. I recently found a new endo and he won't even see me unless I get off of TRT for 8 weeks so he can diagnose why I have hypogonadism in the first place.

I had done the 23andMe about 6 months ago so I just went in and paid to see if I had the C282Y genes. I am negative for both!! How do I check to see if I have iron overload or hemochromatosis?

My SHBG has always been low. Even when I was taking 200mg/wk. Always floats around the 20 mark. Thanks for the advice and I agree about not donating for at least a year. As for my other health. I am pretty healthy and don’t take a lot of supplements. I have some joint issues from sports so I...

I've been on TRT for 10 years now with many ups and downs. Over the past year I've been reducing my dose to as low as possible to curb anxiety, heart palpitations and libido/sexual dysfunction issues. Trying to get on the "less is better" train. I'm currently taking 77 mg weekly test cyp with...

Possible that you are one of the few that don't tolerate HcG very well. It makes me feel like complete shit. Headaches, irritability, etc... Honestly nothing positive comes from it for me. I've tried it multiple times over the years at different doses to the same result. Good luck.

Let me know how your low dose works out for you. I am dealing with the same issue. Everytime I start up again I get massive anxiety. I recently switched to 28 mg test EOD with no HCG but my penis sensitivity is mostly gone. I would love to find a low dose that would work but I'm scared to start...

Thanks. I watched a documentary a while back where they interviewed some successful CEO’s who get up early and either take a really cold shower or jump into a pool that is around 50 degrees. Found it pretty interesting. I’ll check out the podcast. I just lowered my HcG to 250 IU 2x a week. I’ll...

I would bet that a good part of those sides was due to the T dose which would result in very high FT levels let alone peak--->trough once-weekly injections. Most would never need such a dose to achieve a healthy, high let alone in some cases absurdly high FT. Ridiculous to start anyone off on...

It could def be dopamine related. Other areas of enjoyment have faded. I’m not sad but I also don’t have the excitement for things like I used to. I have an amazing family and a great career so that helps. The HcG causes me to get irratated much quicker with things. Unfortunately due to my...

Yes. I used to take Cialis a few times per week. It helped with erections but nothing with libido. I have no problem using it and will continue but I'm only 40 and don't really want to have to rely on it for the rest of my life. I'm willing to try different things to get some of my libido back...

Thanks. I'm going to try this out but It's really difficult for me because of my job. I travel all over the world. Keeping HcG cold proves to be difficult. 250iu every day? That seems like a lot. How do you feel on those levels?

I tried EOD for a while. I was doing 25mg EOD. Then I switched to MWF and went to to 30 mg/day. I just never got my energy back and my libido was gone. I tried it for about 3 months. My T levels never got above 550 total. I didn't like taking 3 shots a week so I switched to Mon morning/Thursday...

@Cataceous thank you for the response. I tried cutting my test back. I did EOD @25 mg. It didn't work out for me very well. 2x weekly seems to work best so far. It's just trying to dial in the HcG. I'm going to cut back the HcG to 500 IU per week. Should I do 250 mg 2x a week or 1 shot at 500 IU?

Sorry this is so long but wondering if anyone else has had similar side effects and what you've done? I've been on TRT for 7 years but have tapered down over the past 2. I went to clinics for several years where I was started at 200 mg and I received HcG as well (no idea how much.) Just like...

Unfortunetly everytime I try it again it makes me feel like shit. I started up again 3 weeks ago (500iU 2x per week). Immediately after I felt really tired with very little benefit that I can feel. Where do I get this Pregneyl? Currently I get mine from empower.

In my experience over the past 5 years that is not true at all. I have lived in 3 different states in the past 5 years and have been to at least 5 supposed clinics who are "mens health" experts in TRT. Only 1 of them had a clue what they were doing and all of them charged me ridiculous amounts...

No unfortunately not. I still see an endocrinologist in Henderson but he knows little. At least he still prescribes me T and labs. With my insurance I pay barely anything.

Thanks for the response but that is not true. I have now been here for over 8 months and nothing. There are several clinics around town but I called a few and they are bullshit and only want lots of money. My primary care physician says he doesn’t know of anyone legit in the city and he has been...

I had my appointment yesterday with my Endo and now realize he is just as clueless as the rest. My understanding from most users on the forum is to get your bloodwork done during your trough. He was adamant that I had mine done in the middle of the week. I inject once weekly on Monday (140mg) so...

Maybe I posted that wrong. My labs were done 1.5 days after injection and that's why they were so high. However I just thought that seemed really high even for the peak.

Madman thanks for the reply but surprisingly my levels weren't crazy when I was on 200mg. The first few years my trough was around 900 ng/dL and I felt great. I got really screwed up about a year and a half ago when I did a lot of experimenting to have a baby. I dropped my test injections down...

Systemlord you are correct in that I have been getting subpar care. Problem is that with my career I have lived in 3 states over the past 5 years. I have been to at least 10 different doctors/clinics over the years trying to find the right fit. I've been to some really shady places that knew...

Thanks Vince I agree with it being pointless but I thought it was a little odd that it was that high, even during the peak. Ive had it tested before but it was no where near that. I have selson blue and benzoyl peroxide but have never tried them together so I'll give it a shot. I am also on...

I’ve been on TRT for 5 years now and it has been pretty successful for the most part. However I recently moved to a new state and changing doctors. The past 3 weeks or so I have been feeling like absolute shit! My body temp is up and I have trouble sleeping at night. In the mornings I have a...

Let's make sure you understand first that there are very few endocrinologist that will recommend you being on TRT. I have seen a few in different states and all of them recommend that I stop TRT. After I explain how I felt before and how I feel after being on then they at least attempt to...

I just moved from Ohio to Las Vegas NV. I had a good DR in Ohio who understood TRT and now i’m Back at square 1. I just visited my PCP for the first time and he has no knowledge of anyone that would prescribe HCG. He is sending me to an endocrinologist that might be familiar but its several...

A couple questions for anyone with a similar experience. I stopped taking anastazole completely. I would like to increase my test to 75-100 mg twice a week. Does anyone else have experience with fertility on this dosage? I am afraid to increase my test intake with the possibility of reducing my...
