Anyone know if guys like Jay Campbell, Danny Bossa and all the no-AI bros in that Facebook group are talking about this? Love them or hate them, they have huge and loyal followings and could be very useful to the cause.

The government can suck my cock.

Your free test isn't really that high. It looks like you're using Quest's lab ranges, which are ridiculously low for free test. Yours would be 17.2 on LabCorp, with a range of 9-26 or so, putting you in the dead center. I'd split the difference between your previous dose that was returning high...

Why'd you stop the scrotal cream that seemed to be working so well?

Gil isn't a doctor.

Why do you want to change providers when 1) you feel great on your current protocol, and 2) the new provider is forcing you to do something that you know will make you feel like crap? Stopping TRT to get labs makes zero sense. You already know what the labs will show: little to no testosterone...

Dr. Keith Nichols (who, yes, I'm aware isn't highly revered in this forum) swears HCG isn't necessary as long as you optimize any and all upstream hormones that might be thrown off by TRT, e.g. pregnenolone. I tend to agree with this view, and while it might take some trial and error to get...

Mine is a little higher than yours—22 at last blood draw. But I'd had sex the night before. High prolactin can cause low libido in men, but is debatable how high the level needs to be to have an effect. Many doctors, for instance, don't believe in treating elevated prolactin unless the man has a...

Correct. Prolactin spikes immediately after you have an orgasm. It's why you typically aren't horny right after sex, an interval known as the "refractory period." While the post-sex prolactin spike is fleeting, the number can remain elevated for hours—or even a day or longer. I don't think...

Was the blood drawn during the week you were spanking it three times a day? Ejaculation can spike prolactin for 24-48 hours. Try going 72 hours without having sex or masturbating (if you can stand it) and retest. Also, your HDL needs to come up. Supplement 2 grams of fish oil or krill oil twice...

Is your clinic in Central Florida or the Orlando area? Mind sharing the name?

I've heard mixed information about sweating and exercise post-cream. One theory is it actually improves absorption by increasing blood flow and moistening the area. The other is that, like showering or swimming, it can cause some of the cream to wash off before it's fully absorbed. If you like...

Standard base from Empower but debating giving the Hydrogel a shot.

I was on it for over six months and felt better than I did on injections. I was taking it twice a day, which worked exceptionally well at first, but after a few months I started having a few of the issues you mentioned - mild anxiety and irritability, a bit of an overstimulating feeling. Looking...

Just switched back to it from injections and loving it so far. Only reason I went back to injections was that cream is a bit more of a pain in the ass to apply every day and I was slightly worried about transference during sex. But after researching I concluded that the fear of it rubbing off is...
