Went today for my “every three months” blood “donation.” I was at 47. That doesn’t seem so high. When should I be worried? I do 2x a week subq.

I'm currently on 500iu 2x a week. My libido is still "meh" and my ball size isn't quite where it was. Not sure if the HCG I'm getting from reliablerx is crap, or I'm letting it sit in the fridge too long, but starting to wonder if I should be doing 500iu 3x a week, or is that going to screw me...

Okay, the numbers I had quoted above were from my last test about 6 months ago, before we turned down the T a bit. I went and got a new test and my numbers, received yesterday, show that I am at 854 at my low. So that's better than it was, which was a bit above 1000. My E was 26, SHBG is 30...

If I'm still high like that after my next test (in the next few weeks), I'm going to ask to dial down again. Would that affect my libido too? That's the part that I find most distressing.

I've spent two years on TRT. My numbers are dialed in at around 1000 T and about 38 E. I pin twice a week, sub-q, adding in HCG as well. No AI. I work out 4x a week, and take lots of walks. I sleep well. I still have very little sex drive anymore, and my ability to get an erection, which I...

Thank you -- I just don't see the point of adding another cocktail to the mix if I'm not getting a lot out of it. My morning wood has gradually gone away, my libido didn't return, and I think we need to dial down my T number based on other comments. I think I need to remove HCG from the...

I've been using HCG for two reasons: ball size and libido. I have been having low libido so it's not helping there. I'm curious what happens if I stop the HCG, other than my balls shrinking to the size of almonds? I didn't find it had an effect on anything else other than that. I will just...

Sorry, 1mg would be 200, so I was on 140 a week, down to 120 now. He's never brought it up. Maybe time for another clinic, but really no clear "who should I move to." Always up for recommendations of people who manage this better.

Thank you for the write up. I need to figure out how to bring up with my clinic that we need to find a more optimal number for me, and I am not sure what I should be shooting for. We haven't tested since dropping me from .7 to .6 weekly. I know doctors love it when you debate them, but I will...

So I had been commenting earlier about having a difficult time orgasming. Someone had mentioned maybe my dose is too high. I had a thought, and wanted some feedback. So this morning, which is my low as I inject Monday AM and Thursday PM, I had more morning wood than I would normally. So that...

Yes -- I inject twice a week and these numbers were right before my second shot.

SHBG last test (before lowering my dose) was 37.3 with T at 1219.

Thank you for sending those -- I will read through them. When I started this journey a few years ago, my T level was 500, E was 25, and my SHBG was 45. There are times where I wonder if I really needed to start TRT or not, but I'm in it now. Maybe a target of 800 would be more what I should be...

My penis journey...I had an illness which took out my heart valve. So I got an artificial one, which is why I have the warfarin. The illness also hit my nerves, particularly the one that affects the penis. I lost about 60% of the sensitivity of my penis in that event. But I was still...

I take a 5mg Cialis daily, warfarin, and supplements like ZMA and fish oil. That's it. (and the aforementioned trimix, which I wish I didn't have to use, but am grateful exists).
