Background- 58 yo male, on TRT for 6 years. PSA has been all over the map. Recently 6.73....been in the mid 3's for a while. Had an MRI, which was clear. Doc insisted on a biopsy (my 77 yo dad had his prostrate successfully removed 3 yrs ago). 2 of the 6 cores have what they call HGPIN, all...

Currently 100mg cyp per week split in 3 subq injections, and 800iu hcg per week

Glad to hear you might have found relief. I had a similar result. Several years of prostatitis, flare ups almost exclusively at night, no real trigger and it happened at least 2 times a month. Very painful. I was treated with antibiotics with some relief. 6 years ago I jumped on TRT, and then...

Just stumbled in your post. I'm in the same boat...PSA has been over the place, based on how my dosing. I just got my labs back and I'm at 4.33, after being in the mid 3. But have been as high as 6. I'm stopping my TRT for 30 days, see where I'm at. This has been going on for the last 6 years.

Was running 120mg (subq) per week with .75mg anastrozole per week. Dropped the AI for several weeks and all is good. Now I'm dropping to 100mg per week with 1000iu hcg per week.

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but curious who is using either productfor general well being. At times I get really gassed, either my labs are off, or I'm just mentally and physically tired and taking a quarter or up to half a dose can really ramp up my well being and energy levels...

I have great libido effects, full testicles and fuller penis and stronger erections at 500iu/week. Since Defy can't supply HCG I've been off HCG for 12 weeks now and noticed a considerable decline in benefits. Getting ready to switch to Pregnyl thru Optum. Hope this brings me back! It's a...

I'm interested in this too. I just added HCG after discontinuing about a year ago.. my balls shrunk to half size.. I'm on 160mg test/ wk....started 300iu 3x wk (total of 900iu wk) about 2 weeks ago in hopes to get my balls back. HCG has already improved my sensitivity and erection size.

I was experiencing similar issues....penis didn't "hang" but shrunk up like I was in a cold bath, lousy erections, and low sensitivity. Even with cialis regimen and low dose caber (have slightly elevated prolactin) I wasn't getting much help. Added HCG (300 iu 3x wk, so 900iu total) and I'm back...

Bump...hoping to get some feedback on this.

I was surprised to not see any posts regarding the penile implant device called Penuma on any of the forums. Wondering if anyone is familiar with the procedure, or any feedback regarding the it. For those unfamiliar, it is a silicon base insert to improve length and girth of the penis.

56 yo, no underlying medical issues. Started TRT with a total T @ 333ng/dL and free @ 10.4 pg/mL Pre-TRT: FYI I started having monthly prostatitis issues around 2002. Symptoms were limited to major pain that mostly showed up at night...no other symptoms but the pain. 2008- .69 2009- .80 2017-...

I was up in the high 80's to low 90's on the e2 sensitive test (normal range 8-35pg/mL)...I do best around the mid 20's to low 30's...this is while running 140mg T per week split in 2 doses, along with 250cc HCG 2x week, and .5mg anastrozole 2x week, so total of 1mg per week. I have a feeling I...

My .02 cents..been on TRT for almost 4 years now. Had a terrible stretch of no sleep...up at 2am like clock work. Eventually figured out having my E2 on the high side was messing me up. Now, with anastrozole, I'm controlling the E2 and haven't had trouble since. Finding that controlling my E2...

I had a terrible experience with anavar several years ago...looking back, the crippling anxiety I experienced about 3 weeks in to a 50mg/day cycle was similar to when I crashed by estrogen via anastrozole.

Thanks for the info..... I'm preparing myself for the possibility of having prostrate cancer and doing a ton of research, so when I do need to make a decision, I'm ready to go. Glad to know your journey has a relatively positive one....except that getting up ever 1.5 hr sounds tough

Happy to participate...done

something i wasn't aware of....I bought a nootropics stack, which included citicoline (essentially choline), which is a popular component to nootropic supplements. My dad was just diagnosed with prostrate cancer, so now i'm hyper focused on all things regarding prostrate cancer. I saw a study...

Ditto on what wondering stated. I'm in Rochester as well and with Defy. Dr. Saya sends my labs to Labcorp in Auburn NY and I've had no issues. Never requested Defy to send to UR. I'll have to set that up and save the hour drive...thanks wondering! I used to have to go to Scranton PA with my...

glad you resurrected this thread! i have been researching nootropics and have experimented with different things in the past. Just placed an order with the website mentioned earlier on in this thread. Nooflow looks interesting and will check it out.

i inject into the quad and get a muscle twinge only on the right quad....figure its just how the nerve endings are different on each side, so i just deal with it.

before starting TRT 3 yrs ago, i would suffer thru prostititus events (at night only and at least 2x month) and had slow urine flow and dribbling. Since I've started, prostititus has ceased and urine stream is strong and no dribbling. I've never taken any ED meds. I've dropped my AI but continue...

When i first started TRT i...which was with a TRT mill, they had me on 400mg/wk to start and my PSA went from .9ng/mL to 6.8ng/mL. I was stupid and uninformed. It then dropped to 4.6 to about a 2.6 ave. I got off TRT for a while and it dropped to 2.1 in the short 2 months I stopped. When i...

With no AI, slight anxiousness, but not enough to distract me, also tend to run a higher than normal blood pressure, but my libido seems to like the higher end of E. Sleep can also get sporadic. With AI, less anxiousness, lower BP, little better sleep, libido can be hit or miss (might be...

i run 2 protocols, 150mg T per week and might run .5mg per week of anastrozole. I also run a 12 week blast once a year of 500mg and run 2mg per week. I've also reduced/dropped my T to 150mg/wk and not taken any AI for a couple of months. Dialing in AI and finding your optimal E level is very...

you're getting a lot of good advice...like drop the AI and keep up with the injections.....but for moral support...I've been there. I tanked my E by over dosing AI and it was hell. It took me 15 weeks to sort everything out. There was incremental improvements week to week, but there wer also...

has anyone experimented with alpha lipoic acid...that always pops up as a potential helpful supplement to reduce tinnitus.

i ran 2 months of GPC (900mg/day) and didn't find any discernible change in my memory/mood. Similar to Chopsuey's comments above, I'm trying to establish the TRT effects and decided to drop the GPC in order to judge the unadulterated effects of TRT vs other potential influences.

I was just about to start a similar post. I think i saw the same article from Kaiser Health. I never gave this problem a thought until now. Considering the frequency of injections, and the variety of products some of us take (Test and AI), it gives me pause....but not enough to stop obviously...

Hey Gman86....E2 at 54 produced some random anxiety and low libido (not NO, just low) for me. When I look back at my log, i made comments like "good mood all day, some anxiety at night" or "no morning wood, but good libido in evening", so I was all over the map. I'm steady mood and libido...
