Remember, any blood test is just a snapshot of what’s going on RIGHT THEN….yes, your HDL / TG Ratio could be better, but the rest looks pretty good to me (provided your other metabolic health markers are good).

Haven’t been around for awhile….come back to see what’s up and see Rob Roy still at it….I was gonna ask a question of everybody related to e2 creeping up relative to test level as I’ve aged and I’ve been having soft erections (something that has happened since I’ve been on TRT when my levels get...

Dr Andrew Winge did a pretty deep dive on his you tube channel about this topic and cited several studies where the drop off off pregnenolone and DHEA wasn’t near as bad as a lot of us believe when taking testosterone…..of course YMMV, but he doesn’t believe every guy always benefits from or...

Good to see….as I stated above, it didn’t take for me even though my balls blew up to the size of lemons….on another note, a friend of mine who is FIFTY FIVE and been on over ten years quit COLD TURKEY a year ago (I just found this out yesterday)….he felt like shit for about 6 months but pushed...

I agree that the stable levels seen with more frequent injections looks better on paper and “should” theoretically be better….but clinically there are MANY men who don’t feel as good with more frequent injections…I’m not about to try to explain why because I don’t know (and I’d be cautious to...

Couldn’t agree more….I ll probably have to start lower (60-70 mg range), but I have not given once a week dosing a fair shot since early on when I was prescribed 200 mg a week. It may be time to do that….

I think it’s probably accurate….the middle 75-80 percent on the bell curve will probably notice improvements and not have any real side effects with the doctor following the Pfizer instructions or the Endocrine Society recommendations. As I’ve stated, I know SEVERAL guys (as we all probably do)...

I don’t get it….why? Why would you feel the need to come on here and rip on someone? I accept the fact you have extensive training and clinical experience, and have probably done good things for many patients. However, to act like ALL of the science is settled in this field and you have ALL...

I had not heard of him prescribing ARBs, but that seems to be something a lot of the TRT docs are doing….especially telmisartan. I think a lot of them are doing it more for the longevity/ age management aspect, especially with the “older” set. I watched a podcast with Dr Andrew Winge and he...

Speaking from personal experience, I have a friend that got his thyroid “optimized” and he ended up in the ER with his heart doing all kinds of funky shit after feeling like death for about a week (don’t know if it was AFIB, PVCs or what the actual diagnosis was)….when he had his pre treatment...

Man….let me be gone awhile and come back and see a good thread (it had been dragging around here for a bit)! All I have is my 13 years of personal experience to offer. I’m in no way a textbook study, and I’m similar to Charliebizz in many ways. I’m on my second well known TRT doc, and seem to...

I tried a doctor supervised restart with Clomid and went 4 months on it before I threw in the towel….unlike you, I had great LH and FSH response, but apparently my balls are dead because they swole up to the size of lemons but my TT never got above 330….Im not trying to be a Debbie Downer here...

No doubt libido and erections are multi factorial, especially as we age…..I’m in what I would consider on the good side of overall health and fitness, stress levels fluctuate but many have it worse….just puzzling that when I have a “good” run of libido and response I can’t put my finger on...

Yessir….been on the 5mg for a handful of years now….I may go back and give it more time, but I gave it a good couple of months…I get so jealous of the friends I have that shoot 100 mg (or more) once a week and sail along. I’ve asked myself if maybe my expectations are just out of line at 54...

Yeah….just the regular base….what’s funny is I put 4 clicks on my inner thighs for awhile just to see what would happen and within 2 weeks I could tell it wasn’t doing shit…pulled TT and it was 210! Apparently my skin is like plastic except on my balls…and yeah, I’m sure the high test levels...
