Whoa, I need a Total T at 1052 ng/dL (SHBG 17) to get these Free T levels.TT: 452
FT: 33 (12-26)
SHBG: 7
I found Aromasin to be less potent than anastrozole, definitely lower effect per milligram.Have you tried Aromasin?

Just curious have you tried the orals or test p? I’m with you. The creams work best for me, and I feel the most natural on them.Yes cream on scrotum is god send for me but the hairloss is really bad! Not experiencing that even from low dose primo

I'm trying Test P right now at 10mg/day subQ. Libido is definitely up a lot as was my experience last time on 15mg/day IM.
Too early to draw conclusions because I'm only 10 days removed from a Test Cyp protocol that had reached steady state, so there's probably still ~35% of Cyp in my system, but I'll post labs and subjective results in 3-4 weeks.
Same question for you if you don't mind. What cream protocol was successful for you?
Same here.Test injected just doesn't work too well for me no matter which test or frequency of injections.
Ehh you're still in the change of protocol honeymoon phase
I don't know. I was on 15mg/day IM Prop for a few months and libido was raging the whole time. Never seemed to get habituated, but maybe it would happen eventually. I think the ups and down of shorter esters to some degree prevent habituation, but I could be wrong.
Good luck dialing in with Primo, it's a very interesting experiment. How do you feel about running it long term?
Are you low SHBG ?
My SHBG was 80 nmol/L pre-TRT and pretty quickly came down to ~40 nmol/L after I started.
I never felt good on injections except for an initial very short honeymoon phase. After that I actually felt worse than pre-TRT in a lot of ways. My depression and overthinking tendencies went away, which is amazing, but I felt completely flat; zero drive/motivation, no more dreams or plans for the future, excited about absolutely nothing...basically complete anhedonia and apathy/lethargy.
I tried twice/week, daily injections, anywhere from 100 to 200mg/week of Test Cyp. Never worked. Tried using a small dose of AI a few times but each time after an initial great 24-48 hours I started feeling worse. I went down to 0.0625mg 2x/week, so hard to do less. Maybe I needed more but last time I tried the AI my E2 sensitive was 22pg/mL and Free T 24ng/dL, so I doubt lowering my E2 even more would've been good, but who knows.
Only time I ever felt great was for a few days on cream. I was doing 2 clicks AM + 2 clicks PM (200mg/mL Empower HRT base) and feeling pretty wired and very aggressive, but also very confident and great libido. My DHT levels at trough however came back at 500ng/dL (not a typo). I only gave it 2 weeks to be fair but the insanely high DHT kind of scared me for long term use, so I dropped to 1 click AM + 1 click PM.
5 days or so after dropping the dose I experienced the most amazing 3 days of my entire life. Amazing sleep, genuine interest in things other than sex. Started reading books again, working out with enthusiasm instead of dragging myself through everything, etc...
Unfortunately, after that very short period of time I went back to feeling "meh...". My test results came back and even on just 1 clicks AM/PM my DHT was still 360ng/dL. At that point I was going to try applying to different parts of my body but I ran out of cream and changed my next prescription to Test Cyp again to try just 100mg/week in 2x/week injections.
Felt great for 2-3 weeks and then back to feeling like shit to the point where I don't even have the energy to work out.
This is true for me as well, only on Jatenzo @ 237 mg twice daily. The feeling great continues even after a year.Only time I ever felt great was for a few days on cream.
You have to stick to a new regime for 6-7 weeks because there's a couple weeks of hell no matter what dose, protocol etc
I think your cream dosage was too high, try 25mg on scrotum twice a day for 6-7 weeks
This is true for me as well, only on Jatenzo @ 237 mg twice daily. The feeling great continues even after a year.
How’s your libido and penis on jatenzo?This is true for me as well, only on Jatenzo @ 237 mg twice daily. The feeling great continues even after a year.
My libido and erectile strength are getting better all the time, I get erections all throughout my sleep, wake up with erections every morning.How’s your libido and penis on jatenzo
I have the same experience as OP @eli. Mast, proviron, arimidex, aromasin all gave me nothing but trouble no matter how little I microdose.
Two things have worked: Primo and DHT itself
Can I check, are you on test cream to scrotum and also taking a dht derivative? I'm in a similar situation, low shbg, just trying scrotal cream for two weeks now, still getting dialled in.Very interesting man! I
Does DHT lower your estradiol?
Are you low SHBG?
