I have no idea...it was a very cursory conversation. They haven't finalized the treatment plan yet.

My Dr told me that their pharmacy can no longer compound HCG, but that he is going to start using Kisspeptin-10 as the alternative without increasing my monthly fee. He told me that Kisspeptin acts like GnRH and stimulates the Pituitary to release both LH and FSH. I've done some reading online...

Wow...that stinks. I was able to raise mine after my first Dr crashed it by taking more HCG and adding DHEA (not micronized).

Thanks for the response Vince. I think I am just concerned with AIs given everything and wondering if I'd be best w/o it and a higher E2 (~58 last time I went w/o AI). I will likely be lowering my dose. My SHBG is 36.1. I wasn't responding to HCG at 500iu MWF, so I'm trying an 11,000 vial at...

My Total T (trough) is around 1,300. My E2 is at 26. That's a low E2 ratio...too low? I've always read/heard that mid 20's is best, but at what T level? According to the E2:T ratio calculation I found [min is (Total T)/20, max is (Total T)/14)] I should be between 65 and 93. But would that...

It would be, but I haven't been able to find FSH (without an Rx).

I have done a lot of personal research on this. I have large testicles and have always had large loads...borderline hyperspermia. I've received comments my entire (sexually active) life. This all started declining about six years ago (I attribute my hypoG to a vasectomy). But after...

Opioids essentially shut down the pituitary and will tank your T. I also believe that low testosterone is a catalyst to addiction. There is plenty of research on opioids causing low T, but I STRONGLY believe that low T makes a genetically addiction-prone male more susceptible to addiction.

I've been on the NDT for two months now and my skin is still super dry. My E2 was 25.6 on Nov 15th. My skin was GREAT when my E2 was in the high 30's to low 40's this summer. So can we definitively say that low E2 causes dry skin?

Thank you! Do you mind sharing the name of the liquid supplement (if you'd recommend it)?

I found out that I have high Reverse T3, and subsequent tests revealed that I have very low Ferritin. My first test came in at 34 (30-400), so I began taking an Iron supplement (Proferrin Forte). After 45 days on this supplement, my Ferritin is now at 38. I gave blood once back in June, and I...

I can't seem to find a definitive correlation to low or high E2, so here is what is going on. The last week or so I've developed really dry skin on my face and scalp. I used to have super dry skin before I started TRT, but after a couple of months on my skin was great, even slightly oily (no...

Thanks, I asked my Dr about doing something similar. Are you feeling "better" now?

Same issue here, but the folks at DiscountedLabs.com were phenomenal and sent me the other lab results I ordered!! I wonder if there will be an issue with the specimen quality and accuracy due to the time since drawing the blood.

Wanted to post an update (for future readers). I had another round of bloods and had the following results (with the previous test results). This is after one month of supplementing with a Thyroid supplement containing iodine and selenium. Test Sept 6 Oct 1 Delta TSH 2.13 3.94...
