    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    Yes, at risk, but we have current (like less than a month old) janoshik results from Jera showing it's good.

    Did I hit a nerve?

    Many of us do notice a difference in effectiveness, which has not been well documented in the few studies that exist on the topic. Maybe 30-40% of men have worse results with subq if I had to put a number on it. By worse results, I mean any combination of the following: lower serum T for a...

    Hello from NC

    GLP-1 drugs can definitely reduce libido. This is a well known effect and it is dose-dependent, becoming apparent or worsening as dose increases. It does seem to relate to a global dampening of the reward system and desire/craving for all types of reward.

    Building a TRT protocol around hCG

    https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/ https://www.cognifit.com/ https://www.brainhq.com/ Yes, but you have to take all of it with a grain of salt. It's pretty obvious that taking these hormones can affect how you feel, sometimes very dramatically. 163 ng/dL

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    It's helpful, but it's still very possible to develop atherosclerosis at LDL levels that low and even lower. The book that Guided recommended, The Clot Thickens, presents many examples of this, as it unravels the cholesterol hypothesis of CVD and convincingly advances an alternative hypothesis...

    First set of Follow Up Labs since Starting TRT. Looking for Feedback

    It's funny how we tend to assume everything that goes wrong when we're on TRT is caused by our protocol. I did the same thing a few months ago when I was in the preliminary stage of coming down with covid and feeling awful.

    Building a TRT protocol around hCG

    Why did you stop using the estradiol valerate? Were there no subjective benefits associated with the higher E2? I think even if there weren't, you'd probably be safer from a health standpoint running your E2 between 30-50 than 10-20.

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    I almost said something in my previous post about Cortex normalizing ridiculous doses of prop. So I'll say it here: the doses of prop he suggests are insane. The deep troughs on prop let you "get away with" crazy high levels during the day, without the degree of side effects that would...

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    Varies widely, but I would say the possible ranges are something like this: Total T: 75 - 200 ng/dL Free T: 2 - 4 ng/dL E2: 10 - 25 pg/mL

    Experiences and Questions: Personal Experiments with Oral Native Testosterone Base & Enclomiphene (TRT+), Testosterone Propionate, HCG and more

    I imagine there is some point where they stop replacing it but I haven't reached that point yet. Maybe two years from now when this third ring dies, they'll tell me I need to buy something new. Yes, topical testosterone drives E2 up, like most other forms of testosterone. Only oral...

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    Trying 3 mg daily. Yes, you run it with testosterone.

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    It depends how long ago you purchased it. Older batches contained real DHT, although only ~10% rather than the advertised 20%. Current batches contain testosterone, which will produce a significant amount of DHT after application. You may not be able to tell the difference if you are not an...

    They replace the ring for free when the battery dies. I bought my original Gen 3 ring in 2021 and had it replaced twice now for free, once in 2023 and again just recently. Absolutely essential. I'm skeptical of scrotal cream for the purpose of counteracting high estrogen. Yes, you get...

    Building a TRT protocol around hCG

    I'll take you down the same path of exploration that I took. Beware, you may become either better informed or cleverly misinformed. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this information as I have not had time to dig into all of the references. What is the contribution of serum DHT to AR...

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.
