Hard to gauge since I take so many compounds, but I still include it in my arsenal. I dose 2-3x's/week.

I have used 2 IM brands @ dose between 100-200mg: Empower (lyophilized) Kimera Chems (premixed) The Empower hits me like a freight train @ doses >150mg IM; I get quite a rush, increased HR and feel like I'm going to explode; lasts about 30s, then dissipated rapidly. The Kimera vial is...

Appreciate all the feedback, Madman — seriously solid insights as always. You’re right that 150 mg/week ED isn’t true microdosing and is too aggressive as a starting point, even with minimal peak/trough variation. I’m dialing back to 100 mg/week, split ED (~14 mg/day), and will hold that for 6...

Thanks Madman — that’s exactly the kind of detailed breakdown I was hoping for. A few clarifications: Lab timing: You’re absolutely right. My June draw was 2 hrs post-cream, Sept was ~12 hrs post. Not apples-to-apples. Going forward, I’ll standardize: pre-dose, true trough at steady state (week...

Appreciate the pushback. Two quick points/clarifications: 1) Timing/comparability — you’re right. The June draw (cream) was ~2 hrs post-application; the Sept draw was ~12 hrs post. That’s not apples-to-apples. Going forward I’ll standardize labs so comparisons are meaningful: Protocol...

65 y/o | 165 lbs | 5’6” | ~10–12% BF Recently transitioned from compounded cream → injectable TRT for first time. Was on cream for just over 4 mos. Reason: no noticeable sides, but DHT spiking and unstable serum levels. Current protocol (2 days): Test E in MCT oil, 11 units ED (~21 mg), ~150...

Anyone know a reputable compounding pharmacy that will compound test e in MCT oil? I know a few that will do nandrolone decanoate in MCT, but why they can't do test e is beyond me. They have test cyp w/ MCT oil which is not my preference.

I am looking for test e in MCT oil. Anyone know what comp. pharmacy has this available?

1) Already stopped enclo.10d ago. 2) Last cys-c test was high normal so hope it will continue down; eGFRs all normal; will repeat testing 3) Like I mentioned in my post, FT3 is elevated because of peak serum level from dosing 2h prior to draw 4) Taking 10kiu Vit D eod instead on ed - this level...

Hard to tell with injuries slowing me down from peak performance due to nagging pain.

Yes, but these are long standing joint issues and could be coincidental.

Hey all, I’ve been on topical TRT compounded cream (100 mg/day) for 52d now. No prior exogenous T before this. 50mg twice daily (AM/PM), rotating between behind knees, deltoids, and inner thighs. Chose to avoid transscrotal application as I didn't want to spike DHT/E2. I was on enclomiphene at...

With respect to the so-called anti-anabolic signaling of Metformin, might those of us on TRT be spared this effect?

This is an excerpt from a fire post. I have not been able to find who the poster was on this, but maybe somebody in this forum can help me find him. Trying to figure out why chronically low ferritin and other markers. “In general: Exogenous Testosterone increases EPO. Increased EPO causes the...
