Cialis, what time to take daily?

It’s been a few weeks. Performance is back where it was pre TRT. No issues at all, I can go until we decide to stop! Libido is not what it was. That’s just mind over matter. Knowing I can get down again is good.

Cialis, what time to take daily?

I am getting a daily dose of cialis and I am wondering what is the best time to take it. I usually work out from 2:00-4:00 pm. If I take it at noon will I get benefit during my workout? Will there be enough left in my system to benefit me and my wife at night? We go to bed at 11:00.

Extra hcg

So I am off of testosterone for about two months. Numbers are good. I have a bottle of Hcg and water that I never mixed, what are the side effects if I take it alone? Or should I just throw it away?

Funny you should say, my Doctor just prescribed it today. From what I understand the 5 mg is much more affordable than the 20mg.

Rapid weight loss

It’s been a few years. I was 250ish. I became skeptical whether I actually needed it or not initially based on how my body reacted, and the struggle I have had with trt. I had a six week period a few years ago where everything was perfect. More often than not I have spent time money and effort...

No longer on clomid. That was part of the protocol to try and restart my system. Weight loss now at 44 pounds.

Current weight 237. Been off trt since 4/26/19. I had labs done through my pcp, total testosterone 590, estradiol 24. I went to Labcorp today because I wanted the sensitive test, also my free test and LH. I will report back. Libido still not there. Workouts are great.

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.
