    Should I continue trt or not?

    The attached video was very helpful. I hope you're right that this could be a benign growth... the MRI was concerning, but so was the PET scan that showed metabolic (either cancer or possible inflammation) activity coming from the prostate. We cut my trt dose in half about three months or four...

    Should I continue trt or not?

    I'm 68 and have been on trt for about six months now (100 mgs. injected bi-weekly) and the changes I've experienced have been pretty profound. My libido came back, as well as erections and even semen volume. I'm building muscle at the gym and just generally feel better emotionally. I had a...

    Need help to get shredded and improve protocol

    I'm pretty much in the same situation you are right now, and I'm doing 100mg weekly. I'm curious why you're injecting 5 days a week... so your weekly dose of TRT altogether is around 40-50mg?

    Finasteride and Minoxidil for hair loss.. Anyone use them?

    I've been on oral minoxidil and 1mg finasteride every other day for a couple of years now. They've been effective for hair growth, but not overly dramatic. I started testosterone gel about five months ago and haven't noticed any changes in hair loss. Yesterday I replaced the gel with 100mg...

    Anemic with very low BP's since starting trt gel

    All these levels and what ranges they should be in has become really confusing.

    Anemic with very low BP's since starting trt gel

    My ferritin levels came back perfectly normal at 286. However, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, transferrin and abs lymphocytes are even a slight bit lower than they were before. Iron is right on the border of low. Strange. because today I'm not experiencing any dizziness or weakness and had a...

    Anemic with very low BP's since starting trt gel

    Just spoke with my doc. We're running some new iron levels, ferritin, etc. He said he'd prescribe me a high dose of iron if the levels are low. Thanks for your help and info, I really appreciate it.

    Thanks for the link! So were you taking 9 of these 28mg tablets a day with no side effects at all?

    Anemic with very low BP's since starting trt gel

    One of several sources on the web re: anemia/low BP: Other symptoms of iron deficiency anemias may include: irritability weakness shortness of breath low blood pressure (especially when going from lying or sitting to standing) sore tongue brittle nails unusual food cravings (called pica)...

    Anemic with very low BP's since starting trt gel

    I just discovered a lot of the levels were drawn on March 5 with my CBC and I didn't pay any attention to them, I was mostly concerned with RBC's. My MCV, MCH, MPV and platelets are all normal. RBC's are low at 4.23. They didn't run MCHC or iron saturation labs. I'm seeing my GP in two...
