Trying to u understand
So I got my levels checked and I’m trying to understand if I’m good or not. I know I should look at symptoms and not numbers but I’m 40 years old. My total testosterone is 292 ng/dl and my free test calculation is 64.4 bio available is 151.0 my primary doctor said that...
I had my total testosterone checked at Quest and Labcorp exactly 24 hours apart.
Quest was 149
Labcorp was 1018
I take a daily compounded cream and test 24 hours after application
How can the numbers be so far apart?
Is this normal viscosity for Test Cyp? It feels thinner this time around.
I ordered a test kit to see if it’s testosterone and also going to do blood work tomorrow to get a baseline.
Thank you
Hi,
32 years old male here, I did 4 tests in the past 2 years and all of them go from 200 to 350, so in the lower end of the range. I have low fsh and low lh. Enclomiphene has not resolved my symptoms.
I exercise 4 times a week on average: circuit training with weights, sometimes I run...
I'm 50, male. My total testosterone labs have been hovering around 1200ng/ml for a few years. This is all natural, a lot of supplements but all OTC. I'm happy about this but my libido is quite low. Free T is 97.5 pg/mL.
Would TRT benefit me when I already have these levels naturally?
Hello - I received my first batch of Testosterone Cypionate and HCG from Defy Medical. They sent 27 gauge 1/2" Easy Touch syringes for the Test (for SubQ), and 30 gauge for the HCG (for SubQ). These syringes do not have removable needles.
They sent no alcohol wipes and no drawing needles. The...

Powerlifter build, muscular but 27-30% body fat
Testosterone - Serum (Final)

I switched from IM to SubQ about a year ago. Much easier to self-inject, less pain, no muscle damage, etc. I'm doing 10mg/day, via 2 shots per week, total of 70mg/week.
My urologist handles the HRT for me. I told him about the switch from IM to SubQ, and he made no mention of using a different...
I have searched for the answer endlessly and only got conflicting reports . Does Thyroid hormone ( T4,t3) reduce Estrogen or raise it ? What is their effects on the aromatase enzyme ?
Thank you . All seems very confusing and I think the TRT/testosterone community could benefit from the correct...
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...
Historically, been on cypionate for years. New NP (who I recently decided to dump due to perceived incompetence and carelessness) just switched me to enanthate. The relevant info here is that I metabolize meds super fast. Doctors never believe me unless they see it (in hospital, surgical...
I have seen @Cataceous writing this over and over, but recently watched a couple of videos were it was also mentioned how much testosterone a man naturally produce. High HCT? acne? water retention? anxiety/restless, they may be all side effects of supraphysiologic Test dosing.

Hi! I keep reading and hearing from interviews, forums, posts in different sites reports from different people just to gather information before I take the plunge.
I keep finding reports of people dealing with side effects some of them are serious. I've seen a lot of people having issues...
Hi all,
I started taking niacin for cholesterol and triglycerides in the past year. I get blood work done every year. However; my recent blood work showed elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. My testosterone levels are the lowest then previously years (700ng/dl). The past year, I also...
Hi all,
For the last 2 years I've been on T, HCG FSH and more recently HGH with the latter 3 being used to increase sperm count. Well it worked (the HGH being the final puzzle piece that took me from 33M to 100M sperm count).
We are now at week 12 of pregnancy and I recently stopped taking...
Fellas, often do you inject? Has it had a impact on your thyroid? I started in April of 2020, and last year around October I started having problems, and now I can connect them to TRT. It seems it somehow Impacting my thyroid function. I just went up to 112 mcg, and I dont have a problem with T3...
I take my Test E injection between 6 and 7 in the morning but its effects are felt between 9 and 10 in the evening. This has been for about two months. I do experience some nocturnal erections but no morning wood. Libido/erectile function is mostly flat during the day. A couple of days ago...
I know there are some men on here whose E2 crashed and they're trying to increase their estradiol with tablets. Nelson, I recall, was using estradiol tablets at one time. Dr. Neal Rouzier will prescribe if a patient's lipids are still elevated on T or no weight loss or erectile function. Their...
Hi all,
I've been getting really good sperm results using a combination of HCG (1000 IU EOD) HGH (2IU every day) and FSH (100IU EOD). I also take 20mg of T daily and .25mg of anastrozole 1-3x a week.
I've had some trouble sourcing FSH since Empower stopped carrying it. I have been able to...
So I've been off testosterone for four months. Didn't do much of a PCT. Tried clomid briefly - it was awful, tried a few test booster and "pct" supplements - who really knows if they work or not. I'm not feeling awful but I am feeling sub-par. Still trying to work out at least 5 times a week...
For those on daily or eod, how many times do you puncture the same vial? The way my script is written, I get 12 1ml testosterone cyp vials labeled for single use but at my dose (4mg daily), each of those tiny little vials would last 50 days or so. I can't imagine puncturing the same vial 50...
Have not posted here in awhile but here are my current labs. 30 year old male and not on TRT but I do have some low t symptoms still. How do these numbers look?

-Free Testosterone- 62.3 (46-224 pg/ml)
-Bioavailable Testosterone- 128 (110-575 ng/dl)...
Hi all,

Hi I have been on trt for several years and injecting Sub Q for 2 years and kept my test between 700-800. It all of a sudden quit working. I have continued sub Q and nothing has changed. I have tried 2 different fresh vials from Walgreens and different locations with no results.
Has anybody...
Hello. I've been on trt 100mg per week total split into mon, wed, Fri injections. Just increased dose to 120mg this week in hopes I feel better. I'd prefer to stay at 100mg but how long should I run 120mg per week to see if this helps me feel better? Thanks in advance! My most recent bloodwork...
So after trying injections for 2.5 years I went back to testosterone pellets. I'm one week in and my libido is already coming back strong. I started on pellets 6 years ago and stayed on them for 3 years and they always worked great. I stopped them because every now and then I'd have one that...
