I switched to daily injection which allow me to increase my free test levels while hemoglobin and hematocrit stayed lower. 8mg per day test cyp at night.

Since switching to daily shots and assigning even higher free test levels, hematocrit and hemoglobin haven’t been an issue.

Are you still on 8mg daily? How’s that going?

Update here: ever since getting my e2 up to mid20’s to 30’s, my blood pressure is always about 120/80. No white coat syndrome anymore. Whereas e2 at 17 was a problem.

Realizing I’m 4 years late to this reply The link to your story is broken, but I’m having hard time with this. Did you ever cycle higher levels (blast with anything) with building that physique? I definitely agree that maintaining doesn’t require the same as building, but getting to that...

Yeah, I had labs drawn to verify DHEA-S levels went up and they did, somewhere mid range. I’d have to go through 100 blood tests to find it so you’ll just have to trust me lol. I’ve used multiple brands including Douglas, sublingual worked the strongest to get my levels up but oral did as well...

All of them, but I think most are due to lower e2 levels, not DHEA. I rarely feel like I’m going to pass out though, but dry skin, lethargy (or overstimulation), weakness (relative to amount of muscle mass), irritability and noise sensitivity. None improved with good dhea levels, but when e2...

Yeah, I’ve tried all that…with supps, just dhea, each supp solo, etc and just don’t find any benefit to any of it, except vit D and C that is.

Hello, I gave dhea a fair shot several times, between sublingual, oral and transdermal, none of it provided me any benefit I could see, so my levels are back to under 100. I also stopped most supplements after realizing they were all making any and all issues worse. I only take vitamin D and a...

Are you going to start taking vitamin D? I'll leave the rest for the real experts lol

Thanks. I'll always use sterile injection technique, but had a mild concern about contamination from so many punctures. Otherwise, 8mg daily gets me significantly higher free T than 50mg twice per week, or 25mg EOD. 8mg daily: 167 50mg twice per week: 105 15mg EOD: 117 Range for all 35-155...

Sorry about the frustration, but I was trying to get the 1mL vials and twice now they've given me 10mL vials. I'm also doing 8mg daily, but would prefer only puncturing a vial about 10 times rather than 100 with the 10mL vial. That doesn't concern you?

This is interesting to say the least as I've had issues with overstimulation on test cyp only protocols, but also bloating and sleep disturbances on free test levels that no one should have an issue with. I'm looking at trying test e though first because of so much positive anecdotal feedback on...

My most recent labs on 8mg daily test cyp. Total Testosterone 675 ng/dL 250-1100 Free Testosterone 162 pg/mL 35-155 Ultrasensitive Estradiol 32 pg/mL <29 Everything looks like exactly where we'd want it, except maybe the free T is a little high. But, compared to when my free T levels were at...

That's too much for me honestly. Would just using it for 60 days with sterile procedures be fine though?

I've thought and posted about this before. I was eventually given a 10mL of 200mg/mL and I'm only using 8mg daily, so it's going to last months.

Good point about manipulating numbers for a single test.

Gotcha. What were you doing before?

Very similar it sounds like. How long have you been on that dose?

That's what I'm thinking. I'm 4 days in to dropping back to 7mg daily, and I've been "ready" every day...sorry TMI. But this isn't my normal. I've also lost some bloat just from that when after a huge cheat meal weekend. It's crazy how swollen I get from those levels and how quickly it goes...

I'm sure you have a great response, but wall of text is a bit too much.

So you're OK with a free test double the top of the reference range and a hct of >60?

Ohhhh, ok. Thanks for clarifying.

Because when we donate too frequently we crash our ferritin.

Readalot died????

She's been struggling with exercise motivation, oversleeping, low libido, muscle development and fat loss for a long time. Levels were low normal (including thyroid levels) and addressing both testosterone and thyroid has helped dramatically. She's still struggling with weight loss a little...

Not in a couple years, but when all this weirdness started and it was perfect then. Probably good to get it checked again anyway.

My wife is doing awesome with 10mg once per week. She's 40.

Weak data basis followed by my weak yet obvious insight: vitamin D supplementation cannot replace light exposure in those with SAD.

Libido still suffers. I'm 100% fine with "once per week" frequency which isn't fine. Energy depends on the day, but usually good day to day. Anxiety is very much improved. Sleep seems to be more dependent on total calorie intake. Mood is good, but mood was fine mostly with low levels too...

Yes, I do that with my food but I use Macrofactor which is working well. My AM cortisol is in the normal range but on the low side. I have realized that if I lower my kcal enough to lose weight (under 3200) I sleep and feel terrible. It makes sense libido would follow. Years ago I was...
