Just curious, what else are you taking besides the cream? Thanks

Question for those using daily injections of testosterone cypionate: I know there’s going to be very little variation in blood levels on a daily injection protocol. I’m curious though about the peak on a daily protocol. Would it be 12 hours post injection? If so, I could possibly see a small...

Anyone using testosterone cream daily applied to the scrotum as their primary delivery method for TRT? Can you share some details such as dosage amount and how you are feeling including mood, libido, and energy? Also, are there any negative sides you are experiencing? Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I know and understand that we are all biochemically unique. For some, it appears that once weekly possibly yields greater dht levels, or at least a greater dht spike that can be perceived and felt. I also think their could also be an androgen and dopamine receptor issue...

Once weekly, twice weekly, and daily injection protocols....Which of these injection schedules do you think yields the highest DHT levels? Thanks

SHBG is talked about a lot as a good predictor of how fast one clears testosterone out of their body. Low SHBG frequently necessitates the need for more frequent injections per week. Do factors such as EGFR and hypothyroidism also factor into how fast an individual processes testosterone? On the...

I know this is going against the grain a bit, but I’m curious. Is there anyone out there who has tried both once weekly injections as well as multiple smaller injections per week and felt better on once weekly injections? If you have tried both and like once weekly better, can you explain why...

For those that are also on thyroid medication, can you describe your journey in getting your thyroid levels optimized including type of medication, dosage, pitfalls or mistakes you made along the way, and the noticeable positive impact thyroid meds have had on your life? Thanks

For someone not on TRT, does pregnenolone supplementation have any effect on the HPA axis? I’ve been off of TRT for over 6 months and was thinking about trying low dose pregnenolone(10 mg once or twice daily). I’m curious if anyone has any insight on whether pregnenolone would have any effect on...

Thanks guys for the feedback.

I have been taking creatine for a few months now. I recently got back some labs that are a little concerning. GFR: 48.9 (>60.0) Creatinine: 1.6 (0.7-1.3) My past GFR’s have normally ranged between 70-90. Should I stop taking the creatine? Thanks

I’m currently injecting 20mg shallow IM with backfilled 29-30G syringes. I’m going to stick to backfilling a week’s supply at a time based on this thread. Thanks for all of the feedback.

I like to backfill because the needle goes in like butter. You can’t feel a thing. Maybe there compromise is to maybe just do 4 at a time. I’m injecting daily so that wouldn’t be too long.

This question is for the guys who backfill syringes. How many do you normally backfill at one time? Do you think there’s any concern with the testosterone oil interacting with or eating away at the rubber stopper? Thanks
