Been on 1.5 years and have found I feel best between 800-900, with anything over that having diminishing returns. I'm not sure if the "hobby" part was intended as snark, but I don't think it's unreasonable to make sure medication is effective at keeping me where I feel best, which is not mid...

Now that I'm looking into it, Rite-Away Pharmacy is who TRT Nation has started using, and there's a possibility they may be under-dosing their test.

I suppose what I'll do is hit compliance with my CPAP hard and try going IM when I get back from Denver. The question is how much will a week at elevation impact my RBC count. The bastards hang around so long once they're produced.

I just compare the number of events or AHI to what my test showed prior to getting a CPAP. I even import the data from the CPAP into an opensource software to look at the chart. My HGB and HCT have improved over time with treatment. Last CBC showed 17.7 and 52.2%. I'm okay with anything under...

Did a sleep study, and found out that I have moderate sleep apnea, which I'm treating. CBC has improved, so I believe having untreated OSA was causing an elevation for sure. Just trying to figure out what to try next. Been a delicate balance between dosages/T levels, and CBC-related stuff...

Was doing 100mg/week IM split into 2 doses, and my numbers were okay around 750 and 154, but my RBC count, HGB, and HCT were getting up there. Switched to subcutaneous after that, and thinking my levels could be a little lower injecting that way, raised it to 120mg/week. Hit 1000, and 180, but...

Been on TRT for almost a year and a half. Have tried different dosages and schedules, and found that everyday injections subcutaneously keeps my CBC in-check. However, I wasn't where I wanted to be at 70mg/week, and went back up to 100mg/week. 70mg week: 569 ng/dL total, 110 pg/mL free. 100mg...

Can't seem to really find a general consensus anywhere. Some people say DHT is important for a number of things and some say it isn't that critical after you finish developing. I started finasteride a couple of months ago, but I do not want this to be a discussion about the drug itself and its...

Thanks for this. Yeah, I honestly haven't even tested my SHBG since starting over a year ago. Now that I'm experiencing such a deviation, I guess that it's something I need to at least check periodically. I always do my TT/FT via LC/MS and Equilibrium Dialysis.

Test C in cottonseed oil from a compounding pharmacy (not UGL). No additional medications or supplementation. Both results from the same vial.

When you say "insult" to the liver, I'm assuming this means stress or injury? In that case, serum levels would be higher (the opposite of my experience)? Just making sure I'm understanding correctly. I will probably test my SHBG again with my next round of labs.

Is this after opening/puncturing? I've only seen years in regards to properly stored, unopened vials.

Just curious, what biological changes could occur in 20 weeks that would result in a 30% decrease in TT?

So I'm going on 6 months of using a vial. Since I only inject ~80mg/week, it takes forever to get through a 10ml vial. On my most recent TT/FT test, my levels had quite a significant drop off without a change in dosage. There seems to be no general consensus on expiration on a vial once...

I've seen some oral form going around from Maximus that's supposedly proprietary or something. People seem to get good results with it. I got my HCT/HGB under control with subq and everyday dosing. I just gotta go back to that. Oh, and start wearing my CPAP regularly again. Been bad about it, so...
