I'm planning on trying out testavan gel soon, since studies claim it comes back to baseline after 12hrs, applied in the morning, there might be some endogenous activity during the night, at the very least large daily fluctuation in levels. Will take LH in the morning, who knows it might not be...

Yes it's absolutely wise to check both 4 hours after and 24 after to see if the pharmacology holds true. Those are averages anyway.

You're probably using androgel 1.62%? There is actually pharmacology claiming the levels with gels are not fluctuating as much as one would think. One exception is testavan gel that peaks fast. And then there is Testavan

After matching, 10,511 men who experienced an any increase in Hct after initiating TTh and an equal number of controls who did have an increase in Hct were included. Compared to controls who did not have an increase in Hct after starting TTh, the men who had an increase in subsequent Hct had a...

Excessive erythrocytosis compromises the blood-endothelium interface in erythropoietin-overexpressing mice https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1113/jphysiol.2011.209262

Did they measure only daily through with the gel in traverse study?

In other words 30-40mg twice a week Good point, also if enanthate is non-pharma you never know, most often you'd probably get less though.

Don't know if you are looking for encouragement or opinions but i say you are totally justified to have your needs met elsewhere after trying to resolve matters with her, for one she is not fullfilling her wifely duties, sex and at the very least intimacy is a big part of good health and...

Post #5...but yeah definitely needs to be emphasized when considering labwork.

Hmm, periodic as in every two weeks...almost sounds like 200mg enanthate or cypionate every 2 weeks :)

At one point i tried for a couple of months 60mg nebido weekly on glute fat, result was very low levels at through. Might be just me.

Nice write up, i'm actually pretty convinced by now that nebido is not what it is on paper, meaning the curve is not linear, each dose does leave a residue for much longer time than shorter esters, but the bulk of any dose peaks FAST, and comes down fast, in my case 6 days after 1000mg dose my...

I've also been using potassium enriched salt, obv i'm not getting those precious trace minerals, but hard to say if extra potassium is a bigger advantage, the invention of sodium salt was a big deal decades ago allegedly, a way to further reduce sodium intake after it had been figured out that...

I tend to side with this, but with all the literature the folks saying there is no such thing as too much are making fools of themselves, on the low sodium front nobody is saying you don't need any salt, so the other extreme is missing. One big argument is looking at whole foods, did our...

The good thing is, if some contamination were to occur, subq will be better than IM, if you wipe the rubber with alcohol i think chances of contamination are really slim. Are you injecting in stomach area? Would be interesting to see what kind of blood levels you are getting, please post...

It's "funny" how divided the stances on salt, among many other things are, how can both be scientifically right at the same time, we will probably never reach a consensus on this

trial and error, seems highly individual, why not try taking half of what you are currently taking?

I have had this happen as well, probably fluid retention, or reaction to carrier oil or BB

It always puzzled me how and why he ended up using 5000iu, and no less than twice per week, the most sensible scenario is that pregnyl etc come in that and are labeled single use.

How long do you think it takes for BB to leave the system after injection?

If this is the case, that DHT will keep balls in check, how come there is no product for trt that combines test and dht.

Did you have the high hematocrit on nebido as well as the solid erections? What was your protocol like on nebido?

I'm sorry if it has been asked frequently but have you tried cutting the d out for a while, seems you are hellbent on taking it daily? And please elaborate how you can have a parathyroid problem with none of the markers? You are supposed to check albumin corrected or ionized calcium as i'm sure...

Yes i was going to say this too, i have personally been able to reap benefits of testosterone after stopping for quite some time.

Have you considered the possibility that you might be enjoying a rebound effect of your hormonal axis re-activating after years on trt...probably a little premature to be declaring having found your sweet spot on the hypogonadal range at this point, also you took one afternoon snapshot of your...

So you never had elevated parathyroid hormone levels but still thought this was your problem, nevertheless this got me thinking it might be worth testing, i had mildly elevated calcium years ago, still within limits, was thinking albumin corrected Ca and parathroid will reveal the problem for sure.

So how many weeks are you off trt, don't get me wrong i really hope it's not just a rebound effect but we have certainly seen how symptoms tend to creep up again. I guess there is always hope when something has changed, be it food or exercise or body composition, stress, sleep etc. Personally...

So daily injections, that through is not super low, meaning you are not spending alot of time on low levels, even so if the peak is double that it might still be bit too low, might be another story if you were injecting IM, lots of anecdotes where subq results in lower levels.

Be sure to report on the LH once you get there.

Fascinating, how much clomid per week and how often, how often do you inject the cyp?

This supports the idea that hcg mono does not require huge doses like often claimed, goes well with the other study showing over baseline ITT on 500iu eod.
