    Struggling to get pregnant

    I was doing T and 250ml of HCG twice per week for a while. Then, 500ml of HCG twice per week for around 6 months. I was doing 70ml of Testosterone twice per week that whole time. We conceived at “first try.” I was planning on stopping T while actively trying, but wife was already pregnant which...

    Struggling to get pregnant

    Maybe stop TRT and keep going on HCG and see what happens? I went from 0 sperms to “pregnant” in about three months after stopping TRT. Second time around I was on TRT + HCG. Got pregnant with no issues. Everyone is different, but I would consider stopping TRT right away and then check your...

    Dandelion Tea for water retention

    Hi there, Is dandelion tea a good idea to reduce water retention while on TRT? Are there other natural supplements that may be more efficacious? I have read that it can be lower testosterone - not sure if it is true as I couldn’t find a conclusive answer. Any suggestions with regards to a...

    I’m taking DHEA. No negative effects to report. Not sure about the positives. I feel good with my current protocol.

    Torn pec best recovery protocol

    I think my surgery was 10 weeks in. You don’t want it to be passed 12 - 16 weeks, as the tendon retracts, so they can t use your own tendon (they can always use a “cadaver”, but your own tendon is probably best.) it may be different now a days. I did not mantain TRT. But in hindsight, I would...

    Torn pec best recovery protocol

    I had a pec tear repair. You will probably be back at the gym at around 60% 6 months from now (can’t remember.) Full recovery, 6 - 12 months. the recovery takes time as the chances of a re-tear are high for the first few months. You will be extremely happy to get surgery early into the process...

    High Free T. but Regular T levels?

    Thanks for the thorough response! I’m in Alberta. Even though I am going through a private Clinique, my labs were done through our provincial lab (precision lab.) I know this is not he best for TRT purposes, but it probably helps with keeping the therapy cost down (I checked private...

    Wanting to return to TRT but fearful of hair thinning again.

    Any good dht blockers supplements for guys in this situation? I read that pumpkin seed oil, biotin and saw palmetto can help. With that said, I couldn’t find any substantial research (specially for pumpkin seed oil.) Just checking if any of you folks have some experience or some anecdotal...

    High BP on new protocol. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for asking. Restarted 7 weeks ago. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. In the past, my hermatocrit issues went away within 6 months - no issues after/no blood donations or supplements either. But this is the first time that my BP didn’t change after donating blood. I’m usually...

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.
