Why do some guys report getting out of breath easier when their HCT is high, yet athletes use EPO to increase their RBC’s, which would obv increase their HCT as well. Why are these athletes getting improved cardio, while guys on TRT report decreased cardio when their HCT levels get too high?

For everyone that has used or uses Pregnyl, is it normal for there too be so little powder inside? Idk if you can see it through these pics, but there’s barely any powder in the bottle. And this is a 10,000iu vial. I feel like years ago when I used Pregnyl there used to be much mrle powder in...

Does anyone know whether exogenous progesterone increases or decreases fertility in males?

Been looking into Telmisartan recently. Anyone ever use it and have any anecdotes/ info on it? TIA

Does taking exogenous bio-identical progesterone hurt or help fertility? As far as I know, exogenous progesterone improves fertility in women. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If this is true in women, I would assume it would improve fertility in men as well. On the other hand, progestins...

I’ve heard and read that nandrolone acts on the progesterone receptor. I’m wondering if this activation replaces taking exogenous progesterone at all, even if nandrolone won’t increase progesterone in the serum.

I’m specifically looking into dandelion root atm. Does anyone know if dandelion root supplements are different than dandelion root extract supplements? I’m inbetween these two supplements, one is an extract and one is not. Is there any difference between the two? Thanks...

Does exogenous progesterone lower prolactin levels?

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...

Just wondering if anyone has added nandrolone to their protocol and seen their total T go up a considerable amount

Here’s an interview with Dr. Morley Robbins that addresses the infamous high HCT low ferritin dilemma that many men face on HRT. Looks like we finally have an answer in regards to how to handle it. Spoiler alert, it’s to donate blood, as needed, to keep serum iron, HGB and HCT levels within a...

Just wondering if pregnenolone has been the missing puzzle piece in anyone’s protocol, and if things finally clicked when they added it. Thanks.

Anyone know the difference between E2 sensitive, and E2 ultrasensitive? And which one should I get? They’re both the same price on discounted labs.com. Thanks.

@Dr Justin Saya MD I’m a patient at Defy. You’re actually my primary doctor, and I do my consults with nurse Jill. I’m on Ipamorelin, to boost endogenous growth hormone production. As I’m sure you know, anytime someone is taking a GHRP, like Ipamorelin, they should always be taking a GHRH analog...

Anyone use DMSO along with their testosterone cream/ gel to increase absorption, or know anything about DMSO? Interested in possibly using it.

Did a one month experiment to see whether a very low dose of thyroid medication would suppress my natural production completely, and leave me with very low thyroid levels due to my replacement dose being extremely low, or if the low dose NDT would just add to my natural endogenous levels. Turns...

Anyone using MK-677? If so, how much is it costing you, and what’s your experience with it? Thanks.

Interested in Tesamoreli and Ipamorelin. Does anyone use either of those? If so, how much is it costing you? Thanks.

4-30-19 Labs were while on this protocol: (Testosterone Propionate only) TEST - 122.5mg/ week. 17.5mg injected ED IM No HCG No AI *Labs were drawn 34 hours after last 17.5mg injection. Basically 1.5 days after last injection* Reason was because I held my injection the morning I was going to get...

Just wondering if anyone knew how much Empower's T3 costs for 5mcg capsules. Also, does anyone know if they make tablets of T3 as well? Last question, does anyone know if they even make quick release T3? Their website only shows that they have sustained release T3 capsules. Here is how much...

I've had thyroid labs drawn about 10 times over the years, and they basically all look identical to the labs on 2-20-19. I put those labs as a reference of what my thyroid labs usually look like, while taking no thyroid medication, and my thyroid labs on 4-30-19 while being on NDT for a month...

Has anyone tried using quality blue blocking glasses? If so, did you notice any positive benefits to using them? Just watched this episode of SuperHumanRadio, and I ended up buying a pair. The evidence seems pretty compelling.

Does anyone know the percentage of actual testosterone that's in each ester? I'm having a hard time finding any conclusive numbers. I'm switching over to propionate, from cypionate, and would just like to know how to do the conversion. I can figure that part out once I have the percentages of...

Was just wondering if it would be possible for moderators to give 1 or 2 warnings in a thread, before actually closing it. Instead of abruptly closing a thread, I think it might be helpful to just let everyone in that thread know that the discussion is becoming unproductive, or let them know...

Just curious where everyone’s morning temperature sits. Apparently it’s supposed to be as close to 98.0-98.9 as possible. Anything lower can indicate sub-par thyroid function and/or adrenal insufficiency. Where does everyone else’s morning temp sit? Mine sits around 96.3

If I have natural DHEA-S levels at the top end of the range, sometimes slightly over, is it physiologically impossible for my pregnenolone levels to be low? DHEA can only be made from pregnenolone, correct? So in order for my DHEA to be high, I must have good levels of pregnenolone, right? What...

I have extreme brain fog. Have had it before TRT, and all throughout. My basal oral temp is always 97 or below. Usually low 96’s. Tested it almost everyday for the past 7 months. My question is, will a low dose of dessicated thyroid shut down my natural production, and I’ll be left with...

So not trying to start anymore drama with the round table or anything, but I just can’t stand to see these guys contradict themselves like this. They all say that water retention is not a side effect of high E2, and that it’s either in our heads, has more to do with our diet, or it’s from the...

We really only care about free T levels, and don’t really even need the total level. So why is E2 different? Shouldn’t we only care about the free E2 level?
