    Daily TRT (subq) to help with hematocrit?

    I’m pretty sure your HCT will be higher with 20mg daily totaling 140mg per week vs 70mg twice per week. To give reference to that, around 8-9mg daily gives me the same HCT (with a much higher free T trough though) than 60mg twice per week.

    TWICE PER WEEK TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER RISK OF HIGH HEMATOCRIT

    This freaks me out, but, I simply can’t find the balance without it. Alternating 7-8mg daily has felt the best, but quite sure HCT will be 50-52, given that 8mg daily was 54 HCT and 7mg daily was 48 HCT…but oddly enough, 7-8mg daily or 8mg daily gives me great BP, 7mg daily or below and my BP...

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    Oh gotcha. I haven’t had anything like that on bloodwork, only elevated BUN from excess protein.

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    What risks with telmisartan?

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    That’s kind of how I look at it WRT HCT. I spent years trying to get it under 50, but that always resulted in free test and e2 too low and feeling like garbage, which caused my BP to go up. Free test higher resulting in higher e2 keeping my BP healthy, but my HCT 52-53. So be it.

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    What were your negatives with daily dosing? I’m doing well so far with alternating 7-8mg daily.

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    What does HC mean? Edit: oh, hematocrit?

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    How do you measure 7.5mg per day?
  9. G

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    Are you sure you tested both at trough?

    Pros & Cons of GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs

    My wife is about to be prescribed one of these. There looks to be plenty of benefits, and the side effects look to be gastro and maybe libido? Weight regain possibly without lifestyle modification as well…?

    Telmisartan impact on TRT

    I’m also on 40mg telmisartan. If it was causing any of the issues described here, how long after stopping would those issues disappear if I wanted to test it?

    1cc vs. .5cc Syringe Dose Help

    Yeah, so, I doubled my dose. I definitely was making this more complicated than it should be. Guess I’m in for an uncomfortable night like the other times I’ve tried to increase dose too far.

    1cc vs. .5cc Syringe Dose Help

    If I’m doing 8mg daily, I know that’s 4 ticks on the 100 unit syringe. How many ticks is that on the 50 unit syringe? I’m pretty sure I just gave myself a double dose by accident.

    What would you do? HCT vs. BP

    A Right, but what I’m asking is…let’s say I have less water and feel better on test prop, but I still get stuck between 2 doses…1 gives higher BP and less thick blood, the other gives thicker blood but lower BP. Which would you do? This isn’t about how I feel or how I look; it’s about blood...

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.
