I woudnt say lowering SHBG is a good thing, just on the contrary. The high SHBG can always be overcome with higher dose. For guys with lower SHBG often comes issues with injection frequency, high e2 symptoms and etc Mine was 29 when I was doing EOD sustanon, now on bi-weekly enanthate Im affraid...

If I were you I would make a dexa scan for my bone mineral density as a start. Just to check and make sure how you sit there, hope its ok

Im sure Nelson and other people here are more knowledgeable from me and can supply you with actual studies on the matter. Ive seen them, but cannot find links easily now. What I have read the ideas for the dangers of what some doctors consider “high” estradiol come from the bodybuilding world...

As what I have seen from other people and myself estradiol is one of those hormones with which you better not mess, no matter the lab values except if you have actual symptoms. If I ever had high e2 symptoms I would first adjust my dose and frequency to address that, possibly play with...

As I have red overview of studies more and more data shows at least half of the benefits from testosterone come from estradiol, nearly the other half from DHT and in that regards test being like a pro hormone. It is funny how a lot of men on TRT try to inhibit both estradiol and DHT with...

Since I started TRT and doubled my testosterone and estradiol to what was before my HDL improved provided I screwed up my diet at that time

AI is aromatase inhibitor, like anastrozole, aromasin etc - medications often prescribed with TRT

Correctly administered TRT should not lower HDL. HDL can be lowered mainly by bad lifestyle, bad diet and using PEDs especially orals. AIs can lower HDL as well.

When I transfered to IM I got some on chest and shoulders, but it doesnt bother me much. At least I dont have on the face where I had as a teen...

Exactly 4 weeks since starting the new protocol. In terms of mood I fee rather bad compared to how I felt on sustanon - irritable, moody, easy to burst, apathetic and depressed. In fact every time Ive tried a long single ester(enanthate or cypionate) I experience a strange kind of apathy. I hope...

If you feel good and what you are doing is not causing you health issues - then you are excellent. No point of second guessing. Yes as I have researched TRT alone may not work if the patient has thyroid issues. My ft3 is not exactly on the upper side of range, but I think its high-normal so it...

Starting TRT if you dont really need it will not give you noticable mental benefits. However you may need TRT even if your total and free testosterone are “within range”, provided you have the majority of low t symptoms. If you need TRT it will have positive effect on your cognition, but dont...

@madman @Cataceous Also what do you think about the issue that I get sleepy after injecting the new enanthate? I guess some kind of reaction of the body from some if the compounds? A friend of mine who used the same product reported to me he felt the same way the first 1-2 weeks but after that...

For guys that like to inject IM like me, this is my experience. Best and most painless sites for me - delt(27g 3/4 inch), gluteus max(25/26g 1 inch), gluteus medius(again 1 inch, if you are lean I guess 3/4 is ok as well. Pectoral - painless, but I know very dangerous for infection. Also upper...

I think it would be very difficult for him to decrease testosterone level on cream a little bit. As I understand he is doing 1 click twice daily, so he can either leave it like that or cut in half. Anyway dosing cream is a bit difficult and not everyone does well on the cream as Ive read...
