    Morning wood when overdue for a dose

    I think it's just a new change in the body chemistry. Kinda like that initial sweet spot. You've introduced a level change and the body reacts differently to it. This happens to me if I'm a day late on my shot and also the day after a shot. Just a hunch, but I've experienced it too.

    Is it possible to become reliant on Citrulline if you take it to improve erection strength?

    I think your body will adjust to it over time. This I only use it occasionally to keep it guessing. Seems to work.

    discarding my 10ml vial after 28days more than half full...??

    I take .35mL twice a week out of a 10mL bottle. No way I'm discarding that at 28 days. Several years into this method and no issues.

    Are BCAA/EAA, HMB, Collagen Supplements worth it?

    Collagen does work if you are willing to purchase the high quality liquid stuff. Made a huge difference in my wife's skin, hair, and nails.

    32 y.o. male starting TRT [200 mg / ml @ 1 mg / wk]

    I would do every 3.5 days at 1/2 dose. If you are injecting yourself no need to even run it by the doc. I personally do Sunday morning and Wednesday Evening.

    Compounding pharmacy that takes insurance?

    Nope. The only way I've been successful is to purchase with no insurance and then turn the receipt in to your pre-tax flexible spending account for re-imbursement.

    Decreasing TRT dose leading to low libido

    Similar to you I was on 250mg/ml for about 5 years. And yes Madman blasted me too. However, I will say I felt great (no AI), and all my health numbers were green. My problem was super high libido, to the point where it was causing issues since my wife is perimenopause. I also didn't like my...

    Success stories for managing TRT induced increase in hematocrit?

    There are many different views on Hemocrit concerns, similar to E2 concerns. I'm not saying it's right, but a very well respected doc has told me not to be concerned with Hemocrit on TRT. His own values are 62 for several years and no issues, also on TRT. I'm not saying I agree with it, just...

    Shallow IM with 1/2 insulin syringe. Is it sufficient for the glutes?

    I use the insulin syringe for all my pins. No specific order, Ventroglutal, shoulders, butt cheeks, stomach fat roll. I've noticed no difference in how I feel from testosterone absorption.

    Pain in quads after injection

    I stopped injecting the thighs for the same reason. Ventroglutal, butt cheeks, shoulders and stomach sub Q for me. There are a few posts on the topic. Also, I would recommend you drop your needle size to 27 gauge and split your injection to twice a week at .5ml. 1ml is a lot of liquid to inject...

    Therapeutic Phlebotomy (oregon)

    I think some have had success with the extract. I hated the juice at first too, but have come accustom to it now, LOL. I've never tried the extract.

    Therapeutic Phlebotomy (oregon)

    Drink one cup of grapefruit juice (from the refrigerated section, not concentrated), every night for two weeks. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water every day. Do some cardio at least once per week for 30 minutes. Re-test and your numbers should be lower, at least low enough to give...

    Increasing precum

    L-arginine and L-citrulilne increase the amount of pre cum produced for me. Significant difference if I've taken them vs not.

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.
