    Initial reaction?

    Thank you all. I’ve been considering a lower dose as I am unsure of the effects of exogenous T on the central nervous system and its effects on restful sleeping. Is it possible that my levels just don’t reach a bottom level at night where my body can just calm down and get deep sleep?

    What are your thoughts on more frequent injections versus less injections?

    Initial reaction?

    Thank you very much for the thorough reply. Been knocking around possible thyroid issues even though my TSH, T3 and T4 are in range. I had my ferritin and iron all checked along with all my essential vitamins and with the exception of vitamin D, which most people in New England are deficient in...

    Initial reaction?

    Dude, come on. You are making suggestions but when I simply mention what I have seen in just anecdotal research, you come back with that comment? Provide me with what your experience may have been or information contrary to what I presented and let’s have a meaningful discussion as I an open to...

    Initial reaction?

    It was my understanding that the more frequent injections it would actually increase SHGB?

    Initial reaction?

    Just so I am clear, I should go back to twice weekly injections vs. the EOD?

    Initial reaction?

    I didn’t feel well in Dec 2023. Been wrestling this for a few years now. There seems to be something with the low shgb and high free t. I feel like I need to increase my shgb somehow and I’m just not sure how to go about that.

    Initial reaction?

    I’ve been following same injection protocol for at least 3 years. I’m injecting 70mg per week on an EOD injection schedule. Very routine time of day that I inject which is in the early morning. My bloods you see are 8 months old but my protocol has not changed one bit. These were taken at true...

    Initial reaction?

    What would your initial reaction be to these levels at face value? I sleep 8-9 hours per night and am still tired all day. I have had thyroid checked (although I still think I may be hypothyroid), Iron, etc. I am feeling lower energy these days. I am 51 and been on TRT since 2020. Took a...

    Sleeping through night but...

    Hello All, It has been some time since I posted. I appreciate all the knowledge and feedback from everyone. I am 50 years old and have been on TRT since January 2021. My current protocol is 70mg per week with eod injections. No HCG, NO AI. When I first started TRT at 150mg per week, I had...

    Negative. Ibuprofen is the only regular medication.

    Poor sleep / Reaching end of my rope

    Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful response. I did have my doctor run some vitamin tests (iron, B12,D etc.) and of course being from New England, I was well below on the Vitamin D scale so I started that a few months back. I eat fairly well but...

    Poor sleep / Reaching end of my rope

    Possibly. My routine is consistent where I do one body part per session and then 30 minutes of cardio. I only try to spend 1 hour in the gym. It is possible that is causing something but this all started after TRT.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

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.
