Thanks Systemlord for your feedback. I didn't realize you're now off trt and your problems were unrelated to testosterone. Interesting that your sweet spot is such a low-ish number compared to so many others that complain of low T symptoms with such. Perhaps many of us are chasing well-being...

My trt journey has been all over the map, high doses, low doses, different esters, injections ed, eod, e3d, hcg, etc., etc. And I have been pretty diligent to start a protocol and stick with it for at least 8 weeks or so to see if benefits manifest before changing. Yet that sweet spot never...

Okay, got it.

Here where I live, none of the clinics use cFTV testing. To access that, or the possibility of Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration methods, is a 4-hour drive away to Guadalajara. So, that just isn't going to happen.

Going back in time to my old test results...if I take my FT at 66.40 pg/mL and convert to ng/dL it gives only 6.64 ng/dL...and that is a very big difference from the calculated FT. I know the debate re calculations, gold-standard tests, sub-standard tests...but, even though the "calculated" FT...

Madman, thanks for posting my old post! I don't have that test result in my records, so I didn't have it for reference.

My SHBG in the past has ranged historically(appr. a 5 year period) between: 36-39 nmol/mL My last SHBG test however was about 18 months ago, so not sure where it sits as of now. I will get it tested again this week.

A few months ago I looked over my past blood tests and found that my free T levels were 10% of what most men are posting here...and I have never felt dialed in. In times past, my Test-enanthate doses have ranged from 50mgs to 90mgs weekly and I've tried daily, EOD, E3.5D, & weekly. With that...

Key: "...numbing gel going in". I'm glad you had a practitioner with enough compassion to give you a "numbing gel" prior to inserting a cold metal camera up your penis. I didn't.

Your report is extremely good news to us older guys giving us some real hope there is a bona fide legit way to regain youthful sensation and performance again...I'm very happy for you! There are very few things in life more important to us men, than our ability to enjoy satisfying sex with the...

Ribeye, how was your sexual/physical experience when using the Bocox shot? Sensation and orgasm strength? Diminished, enhanced, or no change from normal? Erection quality just good enough?...or, throbbing 100%+? (I see you posted answers to my questions just as I was posting this...thank you)

Get your blood tested for lipids to establish a starting baseline...then, try what your doc is recommending and see how you do. Blood re-tested after 8 weeks or so to make sure you're still in a good range.

M.J., take a look at starting kegels for eq. At first, it was a little challenging to do them daily for me, but in time I now do them instinctively in 2 sets of 10 exercises every other day(a rather modest amount compared to most)...and yet they've made a very big difference for my morning wood...

Thanks for the update, as I'm also dealing with same issues with hCG when I take too much per week. When I don't take it, I seem just flat sexually, but then feel so much better when I start up again but then it goes into anorgasmia when I take too much. Others find success by "cycling" hCG...

Quick question: what was it about the HCG and anorgasmia for you?

I plan to add DHEA to my current setup and go slow to see how things go. Thanks for the input.

My current experience(minus DHEA) has been similar to yours. I'm in a good spot now with only 55mg. of T per week split into 2 pins together with 333IU hCG pinned EOD. The substantially lower weekly T amount is much better tolerated. I miss the muscle gains, but I'm not "stimmed" all the time...

I've been on a re-started trt journey now for about 4 years. Done it all, IM, sub-q, weekly, EOD, daily, large dosage, small dosage, pellets, etc. Currently doing only 60mg IM weekly once a week and on days 1, 3-7 are pretty good, day 2 is not. Will likely move to bi-weekly 30mg and try sub-q...

Q: Weekly sub-q injections...or, more frequent?

Curious to know if you're still experiencing good results. In this thread earlier, you went back to 30mg every day and said you would titrate up...that was back in Oct. How was the journey up the "titrate" mountain? Any difficulties? Are you now including any DHEA with the 200mg daily...

Most of my earlier life I was athletically fit with very little body fat. Now in my early 60's after some years of moderate over-eating and a more sedentary lifestyle, I'm finding it nearly impossible to get rid of the midsection fat even after months of cleaning up my diet(working with a...

It's possible for many that taking too much vitamin D can kill your libido, erection quality, and orgasm ability. Take a few weeks off and see if things improve. I was taking 5000iu daily of vit.D3 and after 6 weeks...all sexual function basically seized up. After a couple of weeks off of...

Can you define a little more what you mean here? Thnx.

The only lab I have access to here in Mexico measures Estradiol in "pg/ml" with a normal reference range for men: 41-91.9 What is the difference(if there is one) of a reading of: pg/ml(lower case "l") vs. pg/mL(upper case "L")?

How much of a weekly dosage of Caber did you take for those results?

Thanks for your input. I'm starting .125mg Cabergoline today(will administer bi-weekly) to help drive my 17+ prolactin level down to where you suggest is more optimal for libido that being <10. Was doing daily sub-q injections of 8mg. test.C/P +330iu's hCG eod over the last 8 weeks or so and...

How long have you been at these levels? Any disruptions with your sleep? How is your overall physical/emotional/sexual function?

It was taken at trough.

I can honestly say that I won't go down that road your currently on...UNTIL, it has can be more easily administered. The number of pins per day, to me, is just too excessive to be practical for everyone other than those with an immense amount of time and a schedule that allows the such. Also...

How's your sleep now that it's been a month on weekly shots?

After putting in my Total T(633 ng/dL measured at trough), SHBG(39.10 nmol/L), and Albumin(4.73 gr/dL) numbers from blood tests into the Tru-T Free Test Calculator, are my Free T numbers normal?: 0.93 nMol/L or, 26.95 ng/dL. I am currently dosing daily of 5mg test. Cyp. mixed with 4mg. test...
