    I found a TRT protocol that works

    I have been on topicals, pellets, and injections. Of the three, injections were the least effective. My libido dropped like a stone and never recovered, even going to twice a week injections. It made zero sense to me to inject daily when I could just use a topical. I am a low SHBG diabetic...

    Cost of compounded testosterone cream

    Is that from EmpowerRx?

    Cost of compounded testosterone cream

    I have been thinking about switching to compounded testosterone cream. However, unlike injectable testosterone cypionate and topical/gels generic and brand name, compounded testosterone is probably not covered in my prescription coverage. Does have anyone have an approximate price for 30ml of...

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    Testostorone manufacturers do have recalls. Cipla had a recall in 2019. Dr Reddy's, Cipla arm recall drugs in US market

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    My girlfriend is an RN. She injects me IM into my glutes, alternating sides.

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    The brand is Cipla, which I believe is an Indian generic manufacturer. Anyway, my doctor decided to adjust my dosage and retest. I was on a higher dosage and doing well blood test-wise, but I was having issues with my blood pressure that turned out to be unrelated to testosterone, so I scaled...

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    My hemocrit was in the low 40s when my TT was okay. It is pushing 50 now.

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    No doubt! I was shocked when I saw my posted lab results. I may have received a bad batch of testosterone.

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    Actually, that is the problem. My testosterone never reaches 1500 two days after injection, not remotely close. I was 249ng/dl two days after injection. It is like I injected a placebo instead of testosterone cypionate. That is what is confounding. My total testosterone used to be reliably in...

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    That does not sound good for me. I was put anastrazole in the middle of last year, so your analysis sounds right. However, to be honest, I am never going to inject daily. I would rather go back to using topical. I did not have the hemocrit problem on topical and my testosterone level was...

    Testostone levels declining with injections

    I have been on injections since 2019. I inject 100mg of testosterone once a week. I have seen a steady decline my testosterone level over that last year. My most recent blood test was taken two days after my injection and my total testosterone was only 249 ng/dl. My total testosterone was in...

    Transfer concerns with Cream

    I switched from Androgel to generic Axiron before switching to pellets and then injections. I switched to generic Axiron because it is applied under the arms like deodorant. That is about as safe as one is going to get with a topical. If I had my choice, I would have stuck with pellets, but...

    Keto vs. Plant Based Diet

    One thing I know about diet is that works is unique to the individual, especially when a person is dealing with a metabolic disorder. I am a type 2 diabetic who went on a whole-foods, plant-based diet against the advice of my endo. The ADA diet absolutely did not work for me. My endo was...

    Stem cell treatments.

    I suffered a massive rotator cuff tear eleven years ago. I experienced full thickness tears through the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and subscapularis tendons and a 50% tear through the teres minor tendon. The labrum in glenoid cavity was also torn. The first orthopedic surgeon who operated...

    Using Clomid to alleviate withdrawal symptoms

    That article is interesting. The reason why I originally discontinued TRT was because I underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. A year after the surgery, I was still experiencing problems with ED medication being effective, so I asked to be put back on TRT, even though my free T...

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.
