trt

I started back with Dr. Lipshultz. Test was averaging mid 300s at best. I didn't feel great but had libido and erections. As soon as I was put on 200 mg per week with 75 units of HCG this brought my peak levels up to 1400! I on my own (and help of excel male) decided to dial back, use...

I've been on TRT for over a year now but recently was told to move up to 1ml/200mg a week. I pin three times a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at .333 ml each time to equal out the total 1ml a week. I started this journey at 120 test and last I was test a month ago I was in the low 400's.

Hey guys, first time poster long time lurker. I (38M, 215, 300s T, decent free T) just started my TRT journey and had my first injection on Monday 53mg. I used Defy. Defy and a few friends recommended 200 mgs a week but after research on Reddit and a little here I decided on 160 mgs weekly...

WARNING- LONG READ From the age of 17-21 I was taking short acting Focalin which is similar to ritilin. I did find my appetite to go down however my metabolism was sped up so I would really have to force the food when trying to put on muscle. I think these meds are terrible for muscle growth...

Hello Everyone, For the past three months, l've been doing subcutaneous testosterone cypionate injections every two days as recommended by my urologist to minimize side effects. However, I've been dealing with some acne on my back and face. Today, I had a consultation with one of the top...

Suffice it to say that change may be on the horizon regarding healthcare. It remains to be seen how it will play out. Without getting TOO POLITICAL in your responses, what government changes would you like to see happen that you think would benefit TRT, peptitdes, supplements, men's healthcare...

Have been on TRT 15 years. Current protocol 84mg/ml test cyp weekly, 700 iu HCG weekly Same dosage approximately last 3 years. Within the last 6 months have noticed a definite amount of hair loss and thinning. No noticeable life changes or increased stress level. Up until now I have had more...

Hi guys! Im worry because a famous spanish influencer died due the broke of an hepatic adenoma. He used to speak openly about roids and trt. Ive made a research and it seems there is a link between a high level of estrogen and the formation of hepatic adenomas. Ive been on trt for 3 years (...

I'll keep this simple, but I've read all sorts of things on this. Can the E2 increase experienced from adding HCG to your TRT be controlled via an AI? If not, then how an earth does anyone take HCG? My e2 shot up fom 35pg/mL to approx 80pg/mL. This has lead to an increase in libido but a...

Hey everyone! Hope all is good. I got off testosterone after 2 years. I was on 100mg weekly. I got my labs done since I was at the urologist and I know it was done fairly early in getting off TRT. But I wanted to see how i was doing and I'll test again at the 3 month mark. I'll attach my labs...

Hi, I'm on week 3 of switching to the cream. Injections was just hell. Wouldn't ever do again. It's 20% and 100mg per click. I currently do 2 clicks per day. And feel quite good generally but not quite there in libido. I tested 3 clicks for a couple days and omg I felt amazing and had so much...

Just curious. I had a varicocele surgery and stopped my testosterone to see if the surgery improved my testosterone levels. I've been off for 4 weeks almost. I was on trt for about 2 years and my dosage was 100mg weekly split into two injections. I am 43 years old. I haven't taken a PCT. What...

I am wondering if it is possible to have an immune response to HCG. I just added HCG to my trt and in the first week having flu symptoms. It is also flu season and it could be just coincidence and maybe I got sick.

Has anyone seen a correlation between high T levels and muscle loss? In other words, the higher your T levels are, the harder it is to maintain muscle mass.

So I’m confused on my latest blood work. Back in 2021 I was taking 16mg daily and got my results total test : 1049 Free test 319 Estrogens 59 Now I used the best blood tests the Lc/ms/ms ones that measure more accurate. Since I wanted to know for sure. THIS time it’s been 3...

I started testosterone at 30, when my labs consistently came back around 250-300 ng/dL. Like most of you, it took a few years to dial in a protocol that worked. I had 3-4 years of great results that improved my life tremendously(career, workouts, relationships, etc) Fast forward to the last 3...

Posting in this thread for increased visibility, but mods feel free to move to the side effect forum if needed. We often hear of people being overly emotional on trt, but I wonder how many people end up on the other side of the spectrum on this front. I’ve always been very even-keeled, and less...

I'd like some opinions on my plan to stay on TRT (3 months), do a supraphysiologic cycle (3 months) followed by some PCT at a TRT level (3 months or so until blood results go back to TRT normal) and rotating this over and over. I just turned 48. I started TRT (self managed w/ my medical...

Hey guys, I’ve been on 100mg of Testosterone Cypionate weekly, broken up into 5 subcutaneous injections in the stomach/love handle area. It has been 4.5 weeks since I started. I am also taking 750ius of HCG. I have begun getting small pimples on my arms and shoulders. I’ve never had body...

I'll keep this short and to the point. I've been on TRT for 2yrs and have as of 2.5 weeks ago added HCG 250iu E3D, with the shot the day before my T dose of 50mg also every E3D. I also take 50mg DHEA and 25mg Pregnenolone ED. Doctor told me to wait 8 weeks and see where I end up with next set...

So, long time since I blast a cruiser here; I'm pretty moderate in my use and never go above 600mg total in gear. 2023, I cruised on 150mg test/150mg mast all year. I got a divorce, and I decided to go cold turkey off everything in January. I noticed ED and libido after three weeks of being off...

Hello everyone, I’m a 27-year-old male, 155 lbs, 5”11 and I want to share my journey so far. I’ve been athletic my whole life, playing soccer, hockey, and rugby. I was even on my national soccer team for a few years. In high school, I transitioned to competitive kickboxing. I went through...

A while back, I read a thread about how sterilization through vasectomy changed (or reduced) a guy's pheromones so markedly that some women completely lost interest in their mates. The accounts were all anecdotal, but for some women, apparently, this is a very big deal. Some even claimed they...

For men out there like myself who struggle with easily crashing their E2 on an AI (even with microdoses), yet still experience high E2 symptoms (itchy, sensitive nips, bloating etc) can topical DHT be used to replace an AI? I’ve found that using topical DHT eliminates any E2 sides that...

I have read in this and other forums that taking clomid, gonadorelin, or kisspeptin while on TRT is a waste - that those things are used more for PCT, to regain testicular function. But why is it wasteful, or even contraindicated, to use those medications while on TRT? How does one harm the...

On week 8 of TRT. 175mg a week, pinning every other day. Since week 2, I’ve been experiencing sensitive nipples, it normally lasts for a few days in one nipple and then goes away, only to return in the other nipple and so on. Sometimes I’ll have slight tenderness, and a bit of aching I take...
