    PT 141 works great, maybe to good

    .5mg yesterday. I was still having erections off and on all day today just not nearly as many, and they weren't as long lasting. I am on daily Cialis so maybe I should roll that back on the days I use the PT-141. I'm thrilled that this is working so well for me. I don't really feel a boost in...

    PT 141 works great, maybe to good

    I have ED, which I believe is mostly due to me having no libido/desire for sex. I've used PT 141 a couple of times with great results and very minimal side effects. I've used a 1mg dose and a 2mg dose, with similar results. The "problem" is I continue to have random erections throughout the day...

    Kyzatrex vs Maximus Native T

    Is there any real difference between these 2 forms of oral testosterone? Do they have different half-life's? Does one seem more effective? I'm taking Maximus oral T at the moment 800 mg in the morning. I've been thinking about splitting the dose to 400 in the morning and 400 around lunch time...

    Which clinics prescribe propionate?

    I should have been clearer in my first post. I guess I expected more, especially when you read stories of folks feeling a night and day difference.

    Which clinics prescribe propionate?

    These are my labs from September before starting the Oral-TRT. This is very similar to what my labs have always looked like. I have had "some" benefit from the Oral-TRT. I no longer have a midafternoon crash, and I've started to have morning erections again which I haven't had for years. I guess...

    Which clinics prescribe propionate?

    I'm currently using Maximus oral-t, and I haven't really felt any benefit after 3-months of use. I'd like to try the Test Prop, mostly because I'm concerned about E2 levels as I am a high aromatizer, and I don't want to be on an AI.

    I started with oral TRT with Maximus last week. I have a couple of questions....

    @FunkOdyssey My meal usually consists of a couple handful of walnuts or pecans, as I usually do not eat breakfast and I'm never really hungry in the morning. Is this sufficient? I've been thinking about moving my dose to 12:00 noon. My bedtime is usually 11:00 pm, and I'm rising at 7:00 am...

    I started with oral TRT with Maximus last week. I have a couple of questions....

    They prescribed me 600mg taken in the morning with 30-50g of fat. Should I be dividing this dose into 300mg 2x per day? In the morning and then around 12:00? Or should I just stick with the 600mg in the morning. I usually take it with walnuts or pecans. I have read that I should take the dose...

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    I'm a bit confused. I'm considering starting TRT. I'm trying to decide on injecting or oral. My doctor prescribes either one but says he prefers sub-q injection 2x per week. Where I'm confused is I see arguments for both therapies. Some folks say the peaks and troughs of orals is best cause it...

    Good Total T with Low Free T.

    I'm 5' 11" currently 217lbs. I've lost about 60 lbs in the past 3 years, but my labs have always looked similar to this. The values may change, but I'm always decent Total T, Low Free T, High SHBG, High Estridiol, and High FSH and LH. No supplements except for a couple of protein shakes. I...

    Good Total T with Low Free T.

    Should I just disregard the total T number, as my free T is on the low side and I'm pretty symptomatic with low energy (even though I sleep well), no libido, no morning wood, hard to get / maintain erections even with cialis (no desire), sometimes irritable, sometimes depressed. They didn't...

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    Is there a recommended way to lower the E2? How about 7-methoxyflavone or DIM. I’ve also considered running cycles of Boron.

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    I’ve been researching trying to find what a normal testosterone/estrogen ratio is but I haven’t had any luck. most everything I find is in regards to.TRT and most of these guys aren’t worried about their estrogen levels because they have such high testosterone levels. Any idea What a healthy...

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    What are you guys think about my estrogen level from the research I’ve done it seems that high estrogen mimics most of the symptoms I am having. Mine is above normal, but is it high enough to cause any issues at 65.4 pg/ml?
