    Switched from shots to scrotal cream

    I have been on test cyp injections for years. 6 mg daily. After seeing Defy for the first time and having some labs they suggested I try scrotal cream. My DHT was super low at 7 prior to starting the cream! So I’m on Empower compounded T cream at 200mg/ml for about 2 weeks. I do feel like I got...

    Are the creams less likely to raise hematocrit?

    I thought I read something somewhere about Natesto (nasal gel) being hard on the liver. Anyone know if this is true?

    Are the creams less likely to raise hematocrit?

    I disagree, because whenever my HCT is high (54-55) and I make large dose reduction, or stop altogether, in just a months time my HCT normalizes. Also, when my HCT gets above 54 my bilirubin slightly elevates. I hypothesize this may be due to the excess red cells converting to bilirubin.

    I know old thread, but Travis are you still off the biologics?

    Are the creams less likely to raise hematocrit?

    I have been daily injecting for years. Last year I had to cut my daily dose in half from 6mg test cyp to 3mg daily. At the higher dose my HCT starts to rise and so does my blood pressure. My HCT was at 56 and BP 155/95 When my HCT is under 50 my BP is usually 120/70 So I have an appoint with Dr...

    Could 1 blood donation have crashed my ferritin?

    I won’t be able to see my doctor for another month. What I was thinking is to just cut my daily injections from 10mg to 5mg and increase my HCG to 20 units 3x per week

    On TRT for 3+ Years. Now I have extreme itching

    I also have Gilbert’s and my bilirubin can run high at times. And when my hematocrit gets above 55 my bilirubin also gets high. Remember bilirubin is made from red blood cells that die off so the elevated red cells can increase bilirubin.and I get itchy especially after a hot shower. As a side...

    Could 1 blood donation have crashed my ferritin?

    I am going to inquire with my clinic about trying the scrotum cream. Hypothetically would an iron supplement raise hematocrit? My hematocrit seems to rise just as fast even with low ferritin.

    Could 1 blood donation have crashed my ferritin?

    Haven’t donated blood in years because when I was donating 4 times per year my ferritin dropped as low as 0 (according to labs). After lowering my T dose and stopping all phlebotomies, it took about 2 years to get a normal (in the 40s) ferritin level. I donated again 6 weeks ago because me...

    Just curious: what do your labs look like?

    Severe Muscle Pain from Crestor?

    EXACTLY! I was having trouble walking and standing, my legs hurt so much. I stopped the 10mg Crestor 2 days ago and already feel much better. Will ask for a different statin. So what was your solution? Are you under a different statin?

    Severe Muscle Pain from Crestor?

    Yes been on CoQ10 for a while now. Update; I stopped the Crestor 2 days ago already been much better. Pain is almost gone. I will just go back to my 10mg of Zocor for now until I see the doctor and ask for a different statin

    Severe Muscle Pain from Crestor?

    is you cholesterol under control without the statins?

    Severe Muscle Pain from Crestor?

    3 weeks ago my doctor switched me from 10mg Zocor to 10mg Crestor since my levels were still too high. At the exact same time I started HCG 25 units 3 times per week. I have since developed almost sever debilitating muscle pain and weakness, in legs arms and shoulders. I switched from 10mg daily...

    One blood donation crashed my Ferritin

    My Hematocrit came back at 47 after I donated blood. He raised the dose slightly and added HCG and wants new labs in January but I may not wait that long. I’m thing late November just for my own peace of mind

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.
