I think a lot of the “negative” talk about trt comes from unrealistic expectations. And people that do start and experience the “honeymoon” phase and constantly chase that leading to side effects. If you understand trt is used just to make you feel “normal” life will be good. And as far as the...

From all my years on the forums. Seems like most men that do well only need 1-2x a week injections. Again a few outliers but it’s far from the norm to need more. And that’s from many of the drs that participate in forums and groups also.

Most guys that have trouble with trt are ones on forums. The over thinkers and the over researchers. The ones that consistently try to find the magical “sweet spot” for e2. Because they have a transient sensation of burning nipples. Or water retention. Or slight rise in hct. The list can go on...

But how does that pertain to trt. If you have high enough e2 to “transition” you would have high enough testosterone on trt for that not to happen lol.

Because @RobRoy refuses to answer a few questions and I feel when he feels the heat his default is to lash out. What grown man asks to be banned. I’m not here to talk shit and attack anyone. But I’ve heard my fair share of stories from former patients to know to stay away from his practice...

@RobRoy you quoted my post. I am not a super moderator lol. I’m just a regular joe on trt. And actually believes in most of the things you say. No reason to get all crazy. I was just posting my labs to show that when my dht was mid range on injections my free t was the same when my dht was very...

In my case @RobRoy theory doesn’t seem correct. First labs are on injections. Second is on cream.

so what is happening when a man doesn’t get much symptom relief at say 700tt but boosts it slowly overtime. Starts to get symptom relief but also side effects ?

I’m a little confused. If they are at full saturation at 700tt. Why would they get side effects going higher then ?

Mine is opposite. I was getting thinner and thinner with my low t. And since trt in general. (First injections now cream) my hair thinning has not progressed whatsoever.

I get what your saying but. I had mid range dht on injections. And have sky high dht on cream. Shouldn’t I be getting some sort of “negative” side effect ?

I’ve seen a bunch of people who added dht derivatives to injections say they couldn’t replicate the feeling of being on the cream alone. Not sure I’m sold on the whole dht thing. Especially if dr Nichols is right with his take on dht.

but I also feel that much better on cream vs enanthate. So does that also boil down to excipients?

is that study solely based off TSH ? And not everyone with low normal thyroid hormones have issues. But doing a trial of thyroid hormone on a patient with clear symptoms but numbers in range, shouldn’t cause harm. Now if the patient is getting symptom resolution with out right hyper symptoms...

I don’t know if I posted this already. But I couldn’t not tolerate any dose of test cyp. Compounded from empower or Pfizer brand. Yet I did much better on empower test e and also westward brand. I believe that is hikma now.
