    Former TRT User, does taking HCG on and off, slow the recovery process of the HPTA ?

    This would be after the normal 4-6 week hcg run after coming off testosterone, so would doing another run of HCG 12-16 weeks after stopping testosterone, slow the recovery process ?? I know it can take 9+months to fully recover

    What are all possible reasons for a higher total Testosterone number but significantly lower Free T number

    I think SHBG was always mid normal range, maybe slightly more than mid range, but that was when I first went on therapy, and before therapy, 6.5 years ago who knows now, but does it really matter? cant really change SHBG ?

    I am at a loss of where to go from here, I need to change something up , or possibly come off restart with HCG, main symptoms, are brain fog, anxiety, fatigue , maybe I just need more time to settle out idk

    What are all possible reasons for a higher total Testosterone number but significantly lower Free T number

    new 27.5 mg EOD protocol, started 23 days before bloodwork, too soon I know still probably raise slightly , I will retest, but Total T was 693.7 ng/dl (264-916), free T 13.6 pg/mL(9.3-26.5), E2 sensitive 17.0 pg/mL(8-35) , all LC/MS.

    What are all possible reasons for a higher total Testosterone number but significantly lower Free T number

    Like for example your bloodwork always comes back as around 20% above mid range Total T , but 20% below mid range Free T ?? anything you can do , or just genetics ?

    Water Retention and Rapid Weight Gain Caused by Testosterone

    Nelson, in regards to those studies , so the exogenous androgens, are shutting things down, acting differently than the endogenous androgens ?

    you NEED to find a protocol that works without an AI , whether thats 50 mg or 300 mg

    Why is estradiol important for men?

    they are talking about the ratio of Testosterone to estrogen , meaning it is in men that are converting more of the testosterone they inject into estrogen and/or dht, of course those results are going to come back the way they did , it is NOT about some specific number, that will be largely...

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    in regards to the LEF linked article, we are talking about men and estradiol when injecting exogenous testosterone, not aging males that are "natural"

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    Stop the AI immediately, throw it in the garbage, if you are not comfortable with 200 mg a week, you need to lower the dosage, you are essentially taking a poison, and completely wreaking havoc on your body for no reason at all.

    Could tiredness be a symptom of high e2?

    Exactly right only you need to go further , 99% of males do not need it , and that 1% that may need it, would be for a VERY short period of time

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
