    I found a TRT protocol that works

    I almost wonder if Pellets are better for this with low SHGB. Mine is around 10 and I have had really no success with daily injections the past 3 years.

    Becoming Hairy from Gels?

    I’ve always done injections. Added test cream to testicles daily at a small dose because it converts to DHT.

    Phlebotomy frequency to reduce Hemoglobin numbers

    I got on here and found Defy was evidently the gold standard so I went with them. That is what they test for.

    Phlebotomy frequency to reduce Hemoglobin numbers

    Went to donate the other day and my hemoglobin was 20.3. They didn’t let me donate. They recommended I get doctor’s orders to do therapeutic phlebotomies weekly until my numbers were within range then go back to doing bi-monthly or quarterly donations. Anyone else had to do this?

    Adding some nandrolone to TRT?

    I just changed my protocol to include ND as well. I am a 9-12 SHBG guy. My protocol was 30mg Test Cyp daily / 500IU HCG Twice a week. My test stays around 600-700 with FreeT at the high end of range. My E2 is one the 45-60 range. To not have to take Anastrozole, I’m going to 20mg of Test and...

    True. I guess I was expecting it to increase.

    T lowers when switching to daily?

    Anyone switch from EOD to Daily and have their T drop? I went from 40mg/EOD to 20mg/Daily and my total T went from 422 to 355.

    Huge bump in E2

    It’s the estradiol, sensitive test from LabCorp. I misspoke. I’m on 126mg/week. I was referencing ml, which my injection is 18ml EOD. At 140mg/week, my free test was 29 on a recommended scale of 8.7-25.1. I have very low SHBG at 13.

    Huge bump in E2

    I mean I do feel like crap. I’ve never felt great on TRT going on 2 years since I started. However, the past couple of months have sucked. No energy, no libido, depression, weight gain. But I can’t imagine that the 186 would be accurate. Isn’t that off the charts for men?

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.
