    Red, hot face and mild sunburn like feeling everywhere - TRT/HCG

    Yep all WNL with T at 1200 which is on the high end of the “reference range” but my negative symptoms which prompted therapy are gone so going to continue with this. Will need to retest when I add hcg back in and see how that goes. That said e2 imo should not be altered unless you’re showing...

    Red, hot face and mild sunburn like feeling everywhere - TRT/HCG

    Red, hot face and mild sunburn like feeling everywhere - TRT/HCG

    Spoke to a pharmacist at the specialty pharmacy that dispensed the rx pregnyl. She believed this is a classic case of hypersensitivity to the hcg. Rare occurring in less than 1% of users- but it would never go away with prolonged exposure and recommend discontinuing use. Now I need to see if...

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.
