    Any Testosterone Propionate Compounding Pharmacies left?

    Time to apologize to twohunglow. Domestic suppliers are starting to run out of basic testosterone products like testosterone cyp and enanthate. The sky is actually falling as a result of the raws shortage.

    Testing out Proviron for Libido

    It works, I just can't tolerate it, because it does what elevated DHT always does to me: flares up my usual mild GERD symptoms to a severe and debilitating level. So, there's definitely DHT in there.

    T Propionate protocol

    Individuals send him unlabeled samples to verify potency from different suppliers.

    T Propionate protocol

    I would only do big pharma testosterone or UGL at this point. I feel like compounded testosterone is essentially the same thing as UGL, except more expensive, and with less assurance of potency because no one sends it to Janoshik.

    T Propionate protocol

    Honeymoons are common with almost any change in protocol. With this change specifically, the first couple of weeks you had higher levels due to adding prop on top of lingering long ester, contributing to a possible honeymoon, and you also had lingering long ester keeping your troughs higher...

    Brain health with trt, missed sleep

    Regular prop in grapeseed oil.

    What affects free testosterone under TRT?

    LOL, this new AI version of Vince will take some getting used to.

    Brain health with trt, missed sleep

    Euphoric when they first kick in, and ability to concentrate is enhanced for several hours. Strong dysphoria develops the evening crash, with exaggerated ADHD symptoms (worse than baseline), and severely impaired ability to sleep. Heart rate and blood pressure are increased also. The combined...

    Brain health with trt, missed sleep

    Can't think clearly, can't maintain a train of thought or hold much information in mind for long (impaired working memory), planning anything is difficult, can't focus very well, frequently forget what I am doing at work when I switch between different parts of a task (working memory again). It...

    Brain health with trt, missed sleep

    Run labs at peak (~5-6 hours after injection) and trough. I think you will find your peak is obscenely high on this protocol. I find my cognitive function is absolute trash with a free T in the 40's ng/dL, and that's likely where you are, if not higher. I'm running 13 mg test prop daily right...

    TRT and health tracking (e.g. sleep) with smart ring (oura)

    You use the oura ring to identify relationships between the things you are doing in your life and your sleep, heart rate, HRV, etc. You see how things are currently, then something changes: you drink alcohol close to bedtime, you change your TRT dose, you stop drinking coffee, whatever it might...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    Testosterone helps a little, very indirectly and inefficiently compared to a GLP-1. The degree of self-discipline required to get lean is not significantly reduced by testosterone - every obstacle to leanness that currently exists in your life will remain, looming large as ever. As badassblues...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    I feel like this response was twice as effective as my longer reply, because you said "Stop the finasteride" twice, which is really the crux of the matter.

    Thoughts / Advice on bloodwork

    I'm going to assume what Cataceous said is correct, because I can't make out those lab numbers at all. I would be inclined to try P5P for mildly elevated prolactin before resorting to the big guns.

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    These are likely finasteride side effects. It doesn't sound like your workout regimen *should* be causing substantial gains in mass and strength given the limited intensity. Testosterone is not an effective fat loss agent. Building muscle, yes. Losing fat, no. This particular goal would be...

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.
