Stopping TRT for a month

I gained 12 lbs of water weight in the 2 months I was on T and HCG. Once I stopped both the weight came off around week 3 and only took about 10 days. I kind of want to start only the T back up to see if the water weight gain happens again.

Will Testosterone without HCG cause you to have shrunken testicles until you stop the testosterone?

Stopping TRT for a month

A liver specialist wants me to stop taking testosterone for a month due to her wanting clean labs for hepatitis B levels. I’ve had it my whole life, but just now am seeing a specialist to see if I need treatment. What should I expect over the next month?

I have Ceebis Tadalafil 20mg x79 and Suhagra Sildenafil 100mg x 20. Got both off Alldaychemist. I don’t like the side effects so I don’t need these anymore. $10 for everything to cover the cost of Priority shipping. PayPal is [email protected]. First come, first serve! Nelson...

Water Retention and Rapid Weight Gain Caused by Testosterone

I’ve been taking 150 mg of Iron daily, half in the AM, half in the PM. I plan to get my levels checked again in a few months.

Has anyone used Thiroyh or Thyroid-S

I do plan to get labs after 6-8 weeks. So far so good though. I think the NDT and Beef Liver are having a positive effect. I went without coffee this weekend and didn’t miss it. Normally I’d be dragging ass if I didn’t have the usual 1 big cup of strong coffee.

Thanks for the info. If I wanted to test that theory how long would I need to be off the HCG to start noticing any differences?

I’m taking the Beef Liver as well and am happy with the extra energy it provides. I was wondering about the Beef Thyroid though...
