testosterone

Got my latest blood test in. For whatever reason, at the same dose as my other blood tests (20mg testosterone and 100iu hcg daily subq), my total testosterone is actually dropping (1024 from 1200) and my free testosterone and presumably estrogen are rising (340 from 304 on free t). Doc forgot my...

This is simply a question/observation I am throwing out to the masses. I had been self dosing testosterone e last year for about six months. Approximately 80-100mg weekly - shallow IM. Stopped the first week of November due to some unwanted sides. No PCT. I did start taking a test booster...

Quick question: I'll be driving around a few states the next couple weeks, and my testosterone vial will be stuck in the car for full days at a time on occasion while I'm in the events I'm going to. It's summer so I'm concerned a little with it being in the heat that long. Will it be okay?

I’ve been experimenting with a lower test dose (85mg a week alongside HCG vs 130-160mg a week alongside HCG). I felt better at first like everyone does when changing protocols, then chronic gut issues I’ve had seem to progressively be getting worse despite taking it easier on things that trigger...

The following statement may sound very innacurate but I heard/read that when you are taking testosterone your sperm deforms. This ends up affecting the health of the fetus as it grows, is this true? I have research and read a few papers on the effects of testosterone on sperm and I have not...

Hey everyone, here are some recent lab results using 24mg eod test cyp sub-q/shallow IM for about 6-8 weeks. I feel much more relaxed and anxiety is lower, blood pressure is lower than 50mg twice per week. The problem now is my memory and brain function are quite low. I'm sleeping great...

This guys podcast has been nothing short of amazing. As far as learning new "hacks" to improve performance, learning, cognition. He's a neuroscientist at Standford. He introduces things such as the physiological sigh to calm anxiety in real time. I learned that cooling the palms, face and...

Been on HRT for a few years and still ironing out some lingering issues. Historically I can get my total T to 1300ish with a 200-215 free T and 50-57 E2 without an AI or anything with daily small injections of testosterone and HCG. My free T3 on labs is usually a little low (3.0-3.2), my rT3’s...

Hello all, My wife is 50 years old. Never had kids and is in menopause. She has low T, no energy, brain fog, hot flashes. So she did pellets. Worked ok for 2 out of 12 weeks she had them in. (Week 6 and 7 ONLY). The rest of the time showed no results. Been off T pellets for 4 months. She was...

Quick question. I just restarted TRT after an approximate 5 month break for fertility reason. Im on HCG (250 twice per week,) and 120ml weekly shots of test E (divided in two subq weekly shots.) I just received my blood work and my resultare as follows: Testosterone 20nmolL Testosterone 576...

Anyone here have any experience that has had prostate cancer and now on trt. Thanks

I may be taking a job in the near future that requires close to 100% travel. Would exposing a vial of testosterone to 20-30 x-ray scans over the course of its use potentially degrade the medication? I know a few trips doesn't affect potentency but I'm curious if that high of a number of scans...

This is about two somewhat different but related subjects. Basically, perceptions Vs reality. First, estrogen and body fat. Low testosterone often causes weight gain and lower estrogen. Many people believe body fat is a big causes of higher level of aromatization of testosterone to...

Is Total T MS panel specific enough to recognize a testosterone molecule from a nandrolone molecule? I know the standard non sensitive Total T panel can’t differentiate test and nandrolone and will add them together, and the Total T LC/MS/MS panel is specific enough to know the difference and...

What's a normal amount of fluctuation in Hematocrit and Testosterone 6 months apart while keeping the dose and protocol the same? Testosterone Cypionate only. A year ago I lowered my dose, at the 6 month mark hematocrit came back at 50.6 and total T at 600. At the 1 year mark hematocrit came...

My nephew is 31 and tore his pec years ago while bench pressing. It's gotten worse and he is going to have it surgically repaired sometime this month and asked me if I thought he should supplement with Testosterone for a few weeks/months to speed up the healing. He's never done steroids of any...

So I’ve heard it’s healthy to supplement with a daily magnesium and zinc supplement because it’s hard to get these minerals in foods nowadays . I’m curious if magnesium or zinc supplementation affects the testosterone half life, efficiency, or effects it in a positive or negative manner ...

Anyone know what it means or what it is indicative of when the penis is semi hard through sex or masturbation and then ends up getting erect right before climaxing and during. Low E? high E? This happens sometimes while other times it works fine..

I've been on anastrozole for 11 years. I believe since I started, science has evolved and lowering estradiol down into the 25 pg/mL range is no longer desirable as I have been told to do by my doctor all these years. Recently I've read more and more that estradiol should not be that low in...

I’ve been on 120mg Test Cyp for 2 years normally my levels are 900 they came back at 35 (250-1100) and I’m freaking out. I ordered the lcms through discounted labs and went to quest. What is happening this is from the pharmacy Actavis brand I inject every 6 days

man 53 years old: options: 1) trt 2) untie testosterone and lower estrogen opinions. ( proviron+ arimidex)

So I don’t know if this is a dumb question or not . But I’m using the 200mg testosterone cypionate “single dose “ vials but I don’t use it all . In fact not even half . Why can’t I keep using it instead of throwing it away? What makes the multi dose vial different . Practically looks the same

I couldn't control my shoulder acne and some back acne this whole first year until recently. Nothing I did mattered from a hygiene/soap perspective. My clinic has been rotating me thru a couple of different pharmacies (Absolute in FL/Rite Away Rx in Texas) for some reason and my most recent...

what is the typical % ranges for SHBG and albumin in regards to testosterone fractions in the blood? The image is one examaple but Every source I come accross says a different thing. We know that 98% is bound. 2% is free... of course the amount bound (SHBG/albumin) is going to be user specific...

Hi! I am injecting testosterone at 9 P.M (14mg daily) and HCG 9 P.M (twice a week, 500 iu). Now, my question is, what would happen if i just switched hours. Let's say from 9 P.M to 7 A.M for both testosterone and HCG. Would my hormone be in a flux again, just like when you change dosages? Or...

I posted a few months ago. Little background on me. I tested 351ish for total T several months ago with an E2 level of around 7. Free T was also pretty low at 41. I felt pretty shitty at that time. Mostly fatigue and lack of motivation. I worked for the next 2 months to naturally raise the T...

Just want to share same numbers and ask overall opinions comparing my 2 blood tests done in the last year. As you can see my SHBG is super high, I have used boro but can’t get it lower. Also my cortisol is higher than normal This is from last year, where I was feeling the worst 10/2019 alb 46...
