Dosage for women's testosterone ?
No, it's not possible that injections will fail to raise her levels. If you inject subq, maybe a percentage is lost to the void like sometimes happens with test, but in that case you just inject more. The levels will come up. 1.2 mg estradiol cypionate EOD, 299 pg/ml total E2, 3.56 pg/ml free...- FunkOdyssey

Cypionate or enanthate. We started with E3.5D but had better results with EOD cypionate.- FunkOdyssey

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
For many women, estradiol doesn't help until you reach 200+ pg/ml - lesser administration methods and mainstream docs will rarely get you there. Beware of elevated SHBG, which increases the total E2 they need to feel good, just like testosterone.- FunkOdyssey

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
These increase clotting risk and are not very effective. You want estradiol injections if you can get them, or failing that, transdermal E2. If you can't find a doctor to play ball, the trans community is an excellent source for high quality UGL estradiol in many countries. Don't supplement E2...- FunkOdyssey

Dosage for women's testosterone ?
Less testosterone was more, and estradiol was more effective for sexual function and libido in our case. Under normal physiologic conditions / hormone levels, estradiol is the primary driver of libido in female mammals of all stripes including humans. Testosterone plays more of a complimentary...- FunkOdyssey

Can we talk about low dose daily tadalifil
I thought this too, until I found evidence that tadalafil is substantially more protective than sildenafil. This seems consistent with it's longer half life, supporting the hypothesis that these medications are actually beneficial. Unless of course, you can think of a reason the populations of...- FunkOdyssey

Second Opinion on Restarting TRT (Primary Hypogandism)
These can be fixed by things like lower dose and/or switch to daily test propionate. There are likely some benefits to maintaining normal HPTA function, but it wasn't necessary in my case to resolve your entire list of complaints.- FunkOdyssey

Kyzatrex vs Maximus Native T
No, I was there. What point are you trying to make? Not one of us emerged from the womb knowing what native testosterone was, not even you good buddy.- FunkOdyssey

Kyzatrex vs Maximus Native T
Here's your question as I read it: aside from clinically significant differences in side effects, have clinically significant differences been found? Yes, there are also differences in fasted absorption, and the amount of DHT that results, where native testosterone produces a lower DHT:T ratio...- FunkOdyssey

Kyzatrex vs Maximus Native T
I misread that, sorry. Consult with your Maximus provider, but yes, that works fine in many cases. Roughly 90% of patients stay with the single morning dose and 10% opt for split dosing like you're proposing.- FunkOdyssey

Kyzatrex vs Maximus Native T
They are not the same thing. Native testosterone is simply testosterone without chemical modification. Testosterone undecanoate modifies testosterone by attaching the undecanoate ester. Cue someone rushing to reply, "but testosterone undecanoate yields the same bioidentical testosterone...- FunkOdyssey

Trouble Finishing (GLP-1 & TRT protocol discussion)
The obvious answer here is to gradually reduce the dose of tirzepatide, until you find a dose that controls your weight without making climax impossible. Like TRT, a series of dosage adjustments are typically required with GLP-1 medications to reach an optimal state of benefits vs. side effects...- FunkOdyssey

Primary Hypogonadism: Doctor wants to put me on 25mg of Testosterone enanthate per week
Oral testosterone would be my vote for this guy. Equalized for a target LH / FSH level, you'll be able to hit high peak levels with oral testosterone, whereas your non-fully-suppressive dose of injections will probably produce peak levels that are on the low side of the normal range. Either...- FunkOdyssey

Need honest advice: Do I really need TRT? Low-normal T, low libido for years, anxiety/OCD background, little muscle growth
Absolutely, yes. Psychology doesn't prevent gym gains. The other symptoms may possibly have a psychological component, or they could be testosterone related. Life-changing is a little too strong in my case. Very beneficial would be a more apt description. Yes, it could.- FunkOdyssey
