    No feeling during ejaculation

    The keto/carnivore discussion is interesting and it's important to remember while Carnivore is keto, keto isn't always or often carnivore. I spent a number of years following a straight ketogenic diet and more often from a cyclical ketogenic diet, eating about 200-300g of carbs every Sunday...

    What other supplements are you taking in addition to your TRT regimen?

    I take it primarily for immune function and some slight testosterone benefit (?), but there is also some evidence that it may help in regulating thyroid function and with vision health. I've been taking it for about 5 years and it may well be a placebo effect thing, but I do believe it helps me...

    Does depression from low testosterone feel different from "regular" depression?

    Another Canadian first responder here, 55 year old, 29 year professional firefighter. I'll relate my experience if it's helpful in anyway. At 40 I was diagnosed with PTSD after suffering minor depression but some fairly significant anxiety. I was completely against any meds so dealt with it...

    Numb Penis, Anorgasmia during Sex, Low Cortisol, High Prolactin on TRT

    I suffer reduced penis sensitivity and difficulty orgasming when my E2 bumps up too much. a 1/4 tab (12.5 mg) of arimidex almost always corrects the issue within a couple hours and lasts about 10 days or longer for me before I need to take another 1/4 tab.

    muscle cramping

    Thanks for the well thought out responses. I'm not new to running and as someone who has had a fairly long life of working out hard both anaerobically and aerobically, along with hard work (firefighting) I think I have the hydration issue dialed in fairly well. Perhaps I'm suffering an...

    muscle cramping

    Just wondering if anyone knows of any association between TRT and muscle cramping? I've been on 130mg/wk of test cyp for about 3 years now, with life changing results. I do experience elevated HCT, but regular blood donation seems to keep in check. Last summer I started experiencing calf...

    Should You Be Injecting Testosterone Under the Skin?

    I switched to SC injections, 50mg x 2/wk, in the fat pad of the butt, about 8 months ago. Within two weeks I noticed better libido and a subjective feeling of better well-being. The odd thing however, was that after six weeks of SC injections, my test levels dropped significantly. I continued...

    Lower T levels but feeling great?

    Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, I was unable to log in here for some time. Anyhow, My DR. called me back concerned that my test levels were low after the last bloodwork. I had switched labs the for the last blood work, so he has asked that I go back to the same lab company that I usually go to...

    Lower T levels but feeling great?

    46yrs old Been on 100mg/test cyp/wk (devided in 2xwk dose) for almost 3 years now with fantastic results. I went from constant fatigue and borderline depression to lots of energy, increased libido, strength, lean muscle increases and the best sense of well being I've had in 15 years. I...

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.
