Hello, I am 35 175lbs 5’11 and have been on TRT for 2 years. I have been trying to find my sweet spot and get dialed in the majority of the 2 years. I work out 6 days a week and eat very healthy etc…My current issues are: Back acne Oily face Low libido Testes and penis always feel cold and have...

So I'm going to preface this. Now that I know what I know from researching myself rather than just listening to doctors- I don't think I should have ever been put on TRT. About 4 years ago I started having massive fatigue, loss of motivation, couldnt bring myself to the gym, couldnt lose...

You may have seen my other thread where I explained how I was feeling. These tests are pre TRT. I still don-t have post TRT results... I will get them soon. But maybe these can hint at what-s wrong with me? I have taken 3 shots by now. it's supposed to be 1 ml 250mg enanthate every 3 weeks...

I've spent two years on TRT. My numbers are dialed in at around 1000 T and about 38 E. I pin twice a week, sub-q, adding in HCG as well. No AI. I work out 4x a week, and take lots of walks. I sleep well. I still have very little sex drive anymore, and my ability to get an erection, which I...

Long story short..I was on TRT for about a year with virtually no positive results. My primary goal was to increase my libido which it did not. I'm 55, about 180 pounds and generally in good health. I'm recently divorced and have been dating a very attractive young woman for about a year. For...

Kisspeptin is looking increasingly promising for improving libido and sexual function. Check out this new study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9898824/ Can anyone (@readalot ?) help me figure out what 1 nmol/kg of kisspeptin translates to in micrograms? That is the dose per...

I was on 70mg of Testosterone Cypionate twice weekly + 750IU of hCG twice weekly. I was getting a lot of hair shedding and acne. I tried finasteride and got pretty bad ED that persisted after I stopped. I eventually recovered mostly but never fully. I don't need Viagra or anything but never...

Hey guys, I got some alarming labs back a few weeks ago and am trying to make the right adjustments to my dosing protocol. This is a long post, so I hope it doesn't get ignored. I would really appreciate some help and I'm trying to give you any info that you might need without forcing you to...

Hi all, I've been on trt for about 4 years, currently under Dr Saya's care. My libido recently went down dramatically and my erections, which have not been consistently great in years, have gotten much worse recently. They start OK, but 2 minutes later starts getting softer and softer. I'm 34...

I recently was able to view lab results from 2018 to present day. Every time I have had lab work done (hormone panel) my SHBG is always higher than it should be. The higher than normal value presented even before I tried self prescribed TRT. 2018 (prior to testosterone) - Testosterone 26.9...

Hey guys, I'll be brief, just looking for some feedback. Been on TRT since 2013 due to a testicular injury suffered in the gym. T never recovered past 300 total after surgery, so here I am. First doc was the urologist, 200mg IM every 2 weeks. Felt amazing for like 3 months and then the...

I’m seeing a lot more post with people who have test levels above 1000 who feel crappy. Even with everything else in range e2, DHT, prolactin etc. I’ve also have seen post of people almost using microdose amounts and feeling way better. My question is, is this the new thing? Because my doctor...

Hello all, I started on 75mg a day a couple days ago after my labs showed test in the gutter. I know that it takes about 3 weeks to see the first changes from injections but can’t find anything about the cream. I thought this was due to levels having to stabilize as it is an ester, however the...

Is Pygeum worth experimenting with? Libido is already an issue for me and I've been trying to improve it for ages. Since Pygeum decreases DHT I'm guessing it can have harmful effects on my libido. I did notice great effects from an alpha blocker - Doxazosin. Thoughts on adding Pygeum to the...

I have recently been watching vigorous Steve talk about semax and how good it was for his libido .. has anyone used this and had libdio enhancing effects?

I have posted on this board in the past regarding TRT and libido. I had briefly dabbled with self prescribed TRT a few years back. It was initially amazing (honeymoon) with regards to energy and libido but that quickly paled in the face of the negative sides I experienced. I ultimately stopped...

Hello All, About 6 months ago I started weight training with body trainer. He said I was one of his hardest working clients but noticed I was not making muscle. He said it would be a good idea to get T tested. I read up more on low T issues and sure enough I have some symptoms: Insomnia...
