    from needles to pills: the trt switch i didn’t expect to matter this much

    Ok, now I feel stupid. I appreciate this as I didn't want to be rude and say coy replies don't help anyone but I couldn't get over the odd language and response so this makes a lot of sense now.

    from needles to pills: the trt switch i didn’t expect to matter this much

    I'm on injections and had to start IM with a 1 inch needle because I have a hard time absorbing if I inject subq. So far my levels are rising again but hormone flux is casuing lots of pain and I am about 5 weeks in so hopefully sleep will get back to being good again. What are your levels...

    from needles to pills: the trt switch i didn’t expect to matter this much

    I understand there is 100mg and 150 mg doses too so I was asking what do you take? What are your lab results? Some people also take it more towards noon so they have less of a spike at night so they can sleep that is why I asked. Thank you.

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

    It was a little bit of trick question because you are focusing on high doses so I apologize but 42 mg/wk is all I take. Few years ago I started at 80 mg/wk and free T just kept going up after my body adjusted and SHBG dropped. I have had SHGB as low as 11 but right now it is around 17. I am...

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

    My total is in the low 400's at trough. Free T is 16 (scale 7 to 24ish). I inject EOD. What do you think my weekly dose is?

    Maybe your dose is too high........Sounds like what I experienced. Look at your free levels and adjust your dose. Going down can be rough as is going up at times but I believe many people think hormones in flux while adjusting point to free t not being high enough so they think more is better...

    The Shocking Truth Between Testosterone and Prostate Cancer

    Reading this and seeing these doctors is frustrating as I was told to stop TRT because of one area showed a very low gleason score. Want to do surveillence IF I stop all TRT. I don't know how I get a doctor to see recent data and not fire me as a patient. Pretty much do prostate treatment or...

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    When do you take your doses? I wonder how early in the afternoon a dose could be taken so night time levels are not too high. Also, do you know your peaks and troughs? Time of day taken? Is Jatenzo always a twice a day dose? Thank you.

    Help with free test levels

    I have a couple of questions please. I watched a video of Dr. Sun and one thing he said was that the side effects were due to too high of Total T. I don't understand this at all. Another question is you mentioned the rough ride when lowering dose. Why is this? Naturally, we have a high in...

    TRT Dose question

    This makes me feel it's not in my head. I have lowered doses that don't seem like much but have profound all around effects (most negative to combat the sleeping issue). Since it is Test Cyp I thought changes would be smooth but that is not the case. I figured the longer the ester the...

    TRT Dose question

    I do deltoid now, shallow IM, 29 gauge/1/2 inch. My sleep when bad doesn't seem to make much of difference whether peak or trough. It's like I hit too high of a level of free T and bam. I end up getting aggressive, jumpy and then sleep goes to hell. Labs show my free T has jumped when this...

    TRT Dose question

    I also have good levels on low doses. On 52 mg/wk (EOD) my free was 180 at trough (240 max range). Not something I need to be to get sleep. Recently adjusted down too and looking to lower my trough. Moving down is rough as is moving up on dose for me. What is your free T at 50 mg/wk? I am...

    Oral Testosterone for All: Why Diet Alone Won’t Fix Your Health

    I have listened to portions of the Dr. Khera interview and it was interesting that he thought a total of 400 to 450 reached saturation. My only concern with Kyzatrex is I go from a long ester (test C) to a peak followed by a very low trough with orals. Not sure I quite get how such a low...
