    Medsbase Zyhcg

    Have you tried this with other hCG products? Would be interesting to compare results.

    Patients taking hormones seem to be at a higher risk of tendon injury

    Hi Vince, I was wondering if you meant to say 5 grams instead of 5 milligrams. Haven't seen any products with such a small dose.

    Low SHBG guys optimize free or total T?

    Do you use an aromatase inhibitor on this once a week schedule?

    "Urinary-derived hCG preparations are highly carcinogenic"

    As the recipient of an allogeneic stem cell transplant that has chronic GVHD, this is very interesting and makes me hopeful for improvement with continued use of HCG.

    Twice Weekly HCG Timing with TRT

    Interesting, but the subjects were pretty young, 12 to 24 years old, which makes me wonder what other puberty / hormone factors may have had an influence. HCG would quickly be in short supply if this was shown to apply to adults long after puberty :)

    Sexual Concerns in Men after Transplantation

    Scandalous that GVHD doctors don't talk about this. The ones I've seen see everything through the lens of auto-immunity and are always pimping some new patented pharmaceutical.

    About to start TRT

    I had some joint pain earlier this year and tried adding 5 mcg T3. Stopped it after a week due to heart palpitations. That was mid March. Hormone blood draw was April 7th so I would have been off of the T3 for two weeks prior to blood draw. I don't pay attention to TSH. I've had to adjust my...

    About to start TRT

    Appreciate your opinion on a reasonable starting dose. My iron was high about 10 years ago, but low around 5 years ago so I don't believe this is a genetic thing for me. Hoping it's another 10 years before my next blood letting. Conventional leukemia doctors have not been that much help since...

    About to start TRT

    Great to hear that TRT has helped your blood sugar and triglycerides. Saw Nelson's post about starting TRT that says effects on glycemic control can take 3-12 months. Will be selfishly hoping that you continue to see improvements over the next 6 months. Never heard of Jatenzo before and have...

    About to start TRT

    Really happy to find this forum. I've got a complicated health history, including a leukemia diagnosis in 2009. Had a stem cell transplant to avoid dying from leukemia 10 years ago and have been taking prednisone for the autoimmune consequences of that ever since. Have been on thyroid hormones...

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.
