You said “cortisol spikes” — interesting. So my question is: how does a cortisol spike actually feel? And how would testosterone feel — can you really feel testosterone directly, or what do you think you’re actually feeling? I always had the impression that with testosterone you feel things...

For me, it’s kind of the opposite of what some guys report: I can feel small and fine differences in dopamine / testosterone states. With testosterone propionate, I can usually tell when it’s peaking vs. when it’s lower — it’s not just “on vs off,” it feels like a gradient. Same thing with oral...

Sorry, I needed to correct something: I just noticed that ChatGPT messed up the estradiol (E2) value earlier — it’s not 28, it’s actually 40.4 pg/ml. My bad for the confusion. So based on the pattern I’ve seen, if I’m not taking anything, my E2 is probably somewhere around ~25 naturally, I...

I switched now to 10mg testosterone propionate + 150 IU HCG, and also added 200mg Iboga which is probably around 6 to 8 mg ibogaine hcl. And I have to say — this feels very, very interesting. The Iboga effect is honestly fascinating. I’ve heard that it kind of “resets” or re-learns patterns and...

I administered a 20% self-prepared scrotal testosterone cream, 100 mg twice daily, + 150 IUs hcg daily and experienced overstimulation. Very interesting are the very high DHT values. The following labs show the hormonal impact: ~5.5h after applying 20% scrotal cream Total Testosterone: 49.7...

Just saw this. (see screenshot). Seems like they quantify the soft plaque from a CT angiography with machine learning/AI. Is this how its done now or is this just a clinic with a state of the art custom solution that other clinics dont have? (it is from this video:

I came across this paper and found it a great reminder of how refined the dopamine system actually is. Below is a concise, plain-English summary you can skim. Big picture The paper asks not just how much dopamine (DA) is released, but where, when, and how precisely it acts in the brain. Old...

did you test your 20% DHT from Alphagels?

Yeah, it did boost my libido. I suspect my dose might be a bit high sometimes—I can feel a bit overstimulated. Hard to say how much HCG adds on top. Also not sure if cream or 20mg propionate boosted libido more. I also changed other things (more training, better health), so it’s not 100% clear...

Does anyone know the correct time of day to take blood tests while using testosterone cream? Next week I’ll have blood work done to check my levels on scrotal cream (100 mg AM + 100 mg PM + 150 IU HCG). In a video I saw, it said you should apply the cream at the same times for at least two...

Did you run HCG alone? If yes, do you have any numbers? If you switch to HCG only, is there a withdrawal or transition period where you feel off? With HCG only, do your E2 and SHBG rise? My SHBG doubled from 40 to 80 with Enclomiphene — maybe the upside is missing because of lower free T then?

How do you feel when it levels out? Have you tried propionate? What does your hCG protocol look like? How does that feel? What are the signs of low E2? I’m not sure if I’m experiencing them. For the past couple of days, I’ve been using 20% scrotal cream daily: 100 mg (two clicks) in the...
