The best part in the study was where they said "7/2022". :)

Hey, thanks for the info! I'm still very new to all of it so it's not like I've had done a lot of experimenting with the protocol. I have done lots of research prior to starting TRT though and for now I'm buying into the concept that daily injections more closely mimic a natural rhythm. I know a...

Thanks man, that is very helpful! My SHGB is always 28-30mnol, even before TRT. I'm doing daily 16mg subq Cyp injections so I guess that isn't really driving my SHGB up or down. I don't use any ancillaries. My Vermeulen Calc is 16.7 ng/dL = 2.2 % if I use the LC/MS TT from Quest (756ng). It's...

So I'm pretty new to this TRT thing and I'm still getting my arms around some of the discussion here. From what I've gathered: 1) LC/MS is the most accurate method for testing Total Testosterone 2) Equilibrium Dialysis method is the gold standard for testing Free Testosterone. I've done a fair...

Hi madman. My Quest lab Free Testosterone (Dialysis) is 169.3 pg/ml with a reference of 35.0 -155.0. That puts me slightly above their reference range. I understand that this test is the most accurate but, that means the converted reference range is only 3.5-15.5 ng/dL. If 169.3 pg/ml converts...

Hi Nelson, thanks for the reply. The FT test by Lab Corp was the Direct analog enzyme immunoassay (EIA). I know that's the one that's the most inaccurate. Now that I've lurked around and read a bit more, I think I have the answer to my question. I'm sure my FT levels are closer to the...

Piss poor, really? My cFT using Vermeulen method is 23.5 ng/dL. Using the TruT calculator it's like 32+ ng/dL. I was just wondering why such a discrepancy between the lab corp and the calculated values. "In your case the heuristic doesn't work too well." I think that's right. The info in that...

OK so here are my 6 week labs on TRT from Lab Corp. TT = 1008 264 - 916 FT = 16.9 7.2 - 24.0 E(Sensitive) = 33.4 8 - 35 SHGB = 30 19.3 - 76.4 ALBUMIN = 4.9 3.8 - 4.9 TCHOL = 183 100 - 199 HDL = 38 > 39 LDL 127...

Hi DS3. I read that study too. I think the headline is misleading though. My thoughts are this. That study was done on FTM (biological females) in transition. Obviously, the effect of high dose testosterone on female brains could be very different than biological males. I also read somewhere...

If having more norepinephrine and serotonin in your brain reduces your anxiety and allows you to think more camly and clearly then yes, of course. But, if having more neurotransmitters induces anxiety, anger, fear, and cognitive dissonance, then no, it's bad. It all comes down to your personal...

The only way to know for sure is to see how you feel at different E2 levels. Everyones individual genetics will dictate how they feel. There's just too much going on to predict how E2 modulation will effect you. For example, I have a low producing variant of the MAO-A gene which regulates the...

Hi Gman86, do you mind talking about your dosage an total T numbers now? I know you saw my other post where I mentioned that my natural production shot up to 769 after optimizing Pregnenolone. I've been sick for so long that I'm extremely tempted to at least do a long cycle of cypionate. I'd...
