    Managing the Testosterone-to-Estradiol Ratio in Men on TRT

    Copy. I am on all three of those. 16mg daily test cyp (going back to IM), 500iu HCG 2x per week, and daily 2.5 mg tadalafil.

    Managing the Testosterone-to-Estradiol Ratio in Men on TRT

    Great info, thank you Nelson! Regarding this part: "They reported that the frequency of morning erections was highest when the T:E ratio after therapy was around 12:1 or greater – in fact, through ROC analysis they identified a ratio of approximately 12 as the cut-off associated with normal...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    Interesting. Hey Madman! Thank you for sharing. I'm not sure if you've had a chance to review the post I put up the other day or not, but would love your feedback if you have the time/bandwidth to review it. I can anticipate some of your suggestions after reading your replies to some other...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    100%. I actually look forward to the small daily injections. I love the concept/idea of subQ and would prefer to not inject directly into my muscles 365 days/year. My "problem" is that I don't have a lot of fat on my abdomen so I end up basically alternating between my love handles. I don't...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    I wish that I had started TRT on strictly SubQ so that I wouldn't have something to compare it to lol. From a clinical perspective, I understand why it is attractive; it achieves steady state testosterone levels within therapeutic levels. It appears it just doesn't "feel" as impactful for a...

    Nice. I have used CJC and BPC in the past, as well as TB 500. TBH, I noticed benefits with CJC and low dose HGH (back when I had access to pharmaceutical grade pens and the budget to support it). If I could afford to run low dose 2-3iu of HGH year round, I would. I'm honestly not sure if the...

    Shallow Testosterone IM versus SubQ Injections - Lab Results

    Mark, I have no idea if you are still visiting this forum or not, but I thought I'd chime in. I recently did a similar experiment that I posted about, and I had almost identical results switching from daily IM to daily subQ. Fascinating that one little adjustment makes such a big difference on...

    Thank you for these suggestions. I do not think that I aromatize a lot via subQ, and my joints seem to feel worse when estradiol is less than 30. My most recent labs were 20 after a month of subQ, so it seems that I may need more aromatization to occur via IM to offset the slightly AI effects...

    What is your current protocol (dose, frequency, etc.)? Are you injecting IM or subQ?

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    Copy that. I am considering switching to EOD or E3D for a bit to see how things respond. Would you suggest taking the current dose (16-18mg) and simply x 2-3 to arrive at the EOD or E3D dose? E.g. 32-36mg for EOD or 58-54mg for E3D? Regarding HCG, I am going to go back to 1000iu per week...

    Thank you Vince. I actually got my protocol from reading about yours last year. It's been good - just trying to find that sweet spot where libido and all other things are subjectively as "optimal" as possible on the lowest effective dose. I'm wondering if I am primary hypogonadal since...

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    Hey guys! I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I just had some recent labs done for my annual physical/checkup through my primary care doctor, and I am genuinely surprised at the results. I posted my previous labs on another thread, and I will put them below again as well...

    Trying to control E2 via Fat loss, Daily injections, Calcium D-Glucarate, Metforming and Cialis

    Hey Nelson! I do not want to hijack this thread at all. I'm going to do more research over the weekend to see what else I can find on the site, but thought I'd ask you if there was a specific ratio of T:E that you (or clinicians) find to be optimal? I had some additional labs pulled this...
