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...

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...

Hello I’m new to the group my name is Curtis I’m 40 years old 5 10”. I did my labs and my GP said that my free T looks good and I don’t need TRT. I also talked with Defy medical and they said I could possibly benefit from T depending on how I feel. Well I used to be on TRT 3 years ago but i...

I am about a year into TRT. On top of TRT I started seasonal allergy sublingual (drops) immunotherapy about 2 months ago. It seems as if this affecting me mentally, also my Test numbers were cut in half. I believe that my allergies increase my anxiety and this is why I went down this road. I...

TLDR: I fucked up my hormones because I didn't listen to everyone on the site, and now I'm paying the price. Stay away from hormone treatments if not medically necessary. Hi Everyone, I'm here to post a follow up to two posts I made a couple of years back as a cautionary tale to others who...

I see a lot of posts here from U.S. users stating that “insurance does not pay” for hCG, FSH, Trimix, and even some testosterone products. Although that may be true of some health plans, I have found that coverage is often permitted via prior authorizations and paying close attention to...

Hello everyone, I have been on TRT for 8 month now. My protocol is 50mg Test Cypionate 3 times per week M, W, F. My first blood test after 3 months from the start showed a total Testosterone of 800ng/dl and e2 of 84pg/ml I was taking HCG 250iu 3 times per week as well at the time. After the...

I hear many people have success stories with mental health when it comes to TRT. Im not going to lie, my mental health has been rough recently. I have been thinking about biting the bullet on seeing a psychiatrist and getting an SSRI prescribed. Is there anyone here on TRT and also on...

Hi, newbie here. I’m on doctor prescribed TRT. I am currently on a 5 month tour travelling across south east Asia. I have ran out of test cyp as I mislaid my spare ampule whilst travelling. I have found numerous pharmacies selling test enanthate (Bayer Testoviron) which is double strength of my...

So i was on trt from late 2005-2014ish… forgot when i just stopped… got tired of it… phlebotomies and chasing blood work… maybe my liver is actually converting cholesterol for once? Since its been high since 2005ish… 177 ldl and a total of 246 or higher… tried a statin one time within a few...

I was on Test Cyp 70mg 2x a week + hCG 750 IU 2x a week when I did my first semen analysis. I did the 2nd semen analysis after adding 75 IU FSH 3x a week, changing hCG to 1000 IU 3x a week, and keeping test cyp the same at 70mg 2x a week. I also tested 17-OH Progesterone LCMS at the same times...

Hello everyone, I'm in a predicament with my decision whether I should start TRT or not. The decision is dependent on certain factors that would potentially deny me access to TRT in the future if I make a decision for one or the other route I could see myself going forward with. First of, some...

Hello! I’ve been on compounded testosterone cypionate in grape seed oil for a few months now. It’s working a lot better than cream or gel. However, it’s hard to stay compliant because I truly do not look forward to those shots (0.25mL/50mg subq three times per week with 27g needle). It always...
