    New lab results (OK T levels, suboptimal DHEA, low libido)

    What can one do for a mild case of hypothyroidism, other than trying in vain to persuade a doctor to prescribe medication?

    New lab results (OK T levels, suboptimal DHEA, low libido)

    Was I not clear enough that I can't do all the good old tests now?

    New lab results (OK T levels, suboptimal DHEA, low libido)

    I've been on 50mg enanthate twice weekly for ~4 months (no AI or HCG) and on TRT for 3 years. The lab was done, of course, before the next injection. Note that I'm in a third world country and can't have all the usual tests done. (The lab technician told me estrogen measurement is of no...

    Why I still don't have morning erections?

    I'm 39 and I've been on TRT for about 3 years. My current protocol is 50mg enathate twice a week with the occasional (one month every few months) HCG to prevent my testicles from disappearing. I still don't have morning erections even though my libido is alright. I used to have insomnia i.e...

    How often should you inject enanthate

    I'm afraid of doing this because of the possibility of infections.

    How often should you inject enanthate

    When you do HCG, your testicles produce a little testosterone naturally and so you have a baseline which means your TT levels won't go below a certain level and this can give you a little flexibility on the frequency of injection.

    How often should you inject enanthate

    Like I said in another tread, where I am now I can only get hold of enanthate. I remember when I was a patient at Defy, Dr Saya told me without HCG I should inject cypionate EOD. Now enanthate has a lower half life BUT I can only get hold of 100mg ampules of enanthate. Let me first say that on...

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    Actually I found 100mg ampules too, which I injected (all of it) yesterday. Now thinking twice a week may be even better. They are very cheap to buy.... Strangely I don't have symptoms of high E2, even when I shot 250mg at once. I've got new facial hair though.

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    OK although it seems cypionate and enanthate have almost the same half life.

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    I found out I can buy the ampules without a prescription so I've started injecting half an ampule (125mg) once a week. How do I feel? I actually feel my dick! No kidding. On cyp and prop it was like it wasn't there. (Several years ago I was obese and had the same feeling.) My libido is...

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    On a second thought it seems I'd better take the ampoule in two syringes (i.e. 125mg per syringe), inject one and keep the other for the next week. Hoping I won't get an infection.

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    I don't like doing that. Injected the first ampule last week. Was feeling great first few days. I think I'll do every other week. But want to know what others do with enanthate.

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    Each ampule has 250mg of enanthate in it. Which means if I inject every 2.5 weeks I get about 100mg/week. But then the half life of enanthate is just 10 days. One more thing: is there any difference between needle type used for injecting enanthate vs cyp?
  14. A

    Does testosterone enanthate every 3 weeks make sense?

    OK I should give quitting a try, when I'm less stressed out. For now, how often should I inject enanthate? The ampuls I've got are single use.

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.
