What are typical nandrolone plus TRT protocols?
I tried one injection of NPP one time and started feeling negative mental effects almost immediately. I'm in no hurry to ever try it again.- FunkOdyssey

DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost
I have only seen reliable, repeated evidence of reduced serum E2 levels with the use of oral testosterone. Scrotal cream, which often increases serum DHT to 300+ ng/dL, does not typically reduce serum E2 - instead, scrotal cream increases E2 proportionately to testosterone dose (like other...- FunkOdyssey

DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost
You want to check E2 before/after. The DHT is going to go way up with both DHT and testosterone. E2 rising will be the giveaway that it's testosterone. My DHT was not any higher with 1 ml of the real alphagels DHT topical than it was with scrotal cream (mid 300s in both cases).- FunkOdyssey

DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost
If you have not used test cream on your genitals before, it is very possible to mistake topical DHT for topical testosterone, because both massively increase DHT. The primary difference is that the topical testosterone also makes some E2. This similarity of effects is exactly why a clever...- FunkOdyssey

Any Testosterone Propionate Compounding Pharmacies left?
Yes, I purchase UGL products. I don't pay much attention to the availability of raw powders - I have never been interested in brewing as that represents a much greater risk. None of the domestic sources I've seen appear to be having any trouble getting raws though, as they continue to produce...- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
I'm on Cypionate now, so I would need to spend some significant time on the subq protocol to reach the final levels, which I don't want to do right now. Maybe at some point.- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
No, that is not certain. I personally have only ever observed site leakage with 1/2" IM injections into my delts, never subq regardless of needle length. I asked ChatGPT about this and it mentioned that site leakage is a well known problem with IM injections, which the Z-track injection method...- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
No, I don't need to do that. Intellectual humility allows me to acknowledge the limits of both my personal and our collective knowledge, and sit comfortably in the space of not understanding the mechanism behind an observed aspect of reality.- FunkOdyssey

Any Testosterone Propionate Compounding Pharmacies left?
I just don't buy it. I'm on multiple forums and have yet to see any indication from any reputable source that testosterone supplies are dwindling or threatened. The manufacture of testosterone esters will never cease, because these have legal and legitimate end customers, and some amount of...- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
We can make that statement more accurate with some qualification: the averages of many patients levels have been reported to be the same, mostly by those with incentives for that to be so. What I would like to see is an independent crossover trial where each patient acts as their own control...- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
I must remind you that I have personally experienced lower testosterone levels with SC injections than the same dose IM, and I have talked to many people that have experienced the same phenomenon. What you're asking me to do here is agree that the sky is red, because studies funded by a...- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
SC bioavailability for you would be higher than either injection method in an obese person, but it seems that your IM bioavailability would probably be even higher still: Very interesting. Maybe this is part of the answer? I guess testosterone isn't the only compound that subcutaneous fat...- FunkOdyssey

Inject hCG IM for better results?
I've now seen two recent anecdotes of better results injecting hCG IM versus subq: I would encourage people that haven't gotten what they want out of hCG to experiment with this. I'm not sure why this would work better, but let's find out if it does, and then we can speculate as to why later.- FunkOdyssey

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Remember once daily, moderate dosage on the topical for this purpose. If you go 100 mg twice daily on the scrotum, you'll likely have just as high HCT or higher.- FunkOdyssey
