Sorry I might have missed it but why are you taking HCG again?

Agreed. Man if I could afford it I’d have labs done monthly or every time I experience any weird symptoms haha! I had just tweaked my own protocol and are now in the infamous second week of readjustment. The first is usually still fine if not downright good. Second one sucks. Third also and from...

I totally agree. The trouble is that my consultant is giving me a hard time about my apparently sky high e2 and HCT. The latter I’d admittedly like to see around <52 myself but that would be doable with donations. Obviously I would now run short of T cyp before the refill date if I kept my dose...

Wow what a super simple yet very accurate formula! In this case it’s my consultant who is alarmed about the value. I’d be absolutely fine with it. But then again who knows, maybe a slight drop in E2 makes me feel even better? Worth a try I guess.

I can only add that the limbo period after a protocol change shouldn’t be underestimated in terms of severity as well as duration. I only START feeling a faint breeze of stability after 6 weeks. It takes me a full 3 months+ to fully determine the outcome of a protocol change. That’s also why I...

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman. Thanks!

The recommended dosages I can find seem to vary wildly. At the highest end and with my BW of 105kg I’d be looking at over 10g/day. That’s seems to be an awful lot. However, on the lower end it’s just 1g/day or less - similar to the amount of GSE I’m taking that has no effect. Are you saying I’m...

I’ve heard about Naringin in combination with grapefruit seed extract. I will give it a shot on its own. Thanks for the tip! Regarding dehydration I wished that’s what it is. Unfortunately, I have been drinking a lot of water lately - if it’s dehydration I wouldn’t even know what else to do...

Yeah that would be a fair addition I suppose. Wait, does it work for you?

Oh and for future fellow members searching this forum for info on how to reduce HCT - I can attest that grapefruit seed extract does NOTHING. I had taken 500mg for over 4 months only to see my HCT increasing. I will now start taking Bromlein more regularly as well as Ashwagandha which seems to...

Thanks for your comments. My hemoglobin levels were as follows: Baseline: 14.8 3 months: 14.8 Now: 16.9

Thanks for your input! The SHBG likely went up because I had lost a around 25 lbs of fat. I utilized the more controllable nature of the COVID lockdown situation and increased my workout load and went on a calorie deficit. That’s also why my lipids actually got better, especially triglycerides...

Gents, Here my journey so far. Baseline BP 120/72 TT 275 (264-916) FT 12.5 (6.8-21.5) E2, SENSITIVE 10.6 (8-35) SHBG 25.7 (16.5-55.9) HCT 45.1 (37.5-51) TRIGLYCERIDES 117 (0-149) HDL 35 (39- ?) LDL 116 (0-99) All the common low T symptoms I don't want to bore you with. 3 months in, T cyp...

Weekends only would help. Def stick with indica strains rather than sativa. Overall though it’s probably not going to be a great long term solution, sorry. Most sleeping aids aren’t long term. If I need to sleep badly I take 1-2 benadryls and/or a scoop of a a supplement called Anesthetized...

I find that while both THC and CBD seem to be helpful for falling asleep at least THC screws with my deep sleep. I think it’s because how it affects my HR. It’s always higher when I have an edible. Also, there’s a rebound effect when frequently used. They even did a study confirming that but I...
