    Prescribed TRT scrotal cream at 23

    I heard that the effects are noticeable quicker on the cream since it’s not attached to an ester. I’m sure I would’ve felt at least something from the large increase in DHT if it was going to help me but I felt nothing

    So I did a 3 week trial of the scrotal cream and have had no benefits at all. I did 3 clicks in the morning and 2 clicks at night everyday. I had labs done 4 hours after applying my last dose that morning and LH and FSH came back suppressed at 0.5 and 0.4. Testosterone and other results are...

    I used HCG solo before to see if it helped my PFS and I didn't have much of a problem with it. I only wanted to use it because I thought it would prevent the testosterone from shutting me down completely and also for fertility. If I'm only trying the testosterone for 3-4 weeks do you think the...

    Can anybody confirm if there are any risks with doing maybe a 2 or 3 week trial of the TRT scrotal cream. I would be doing it with 350 IU HCG 3x a week. I just want to try it for 2-3 weeks and see if it helps, if it doesn’t I’d like to stop it. If I stop it after that time would I need a PCT or...

    All of those are in range except for progesterone which is more than double the high end of the reference range. It’s 2.4 (0.2-0.9) Pregnenolone and DHEAS are also elevated

    I'm not trying to force my body to heal faster, I'm questioning whether it can heal at all without intervention. It's been almost 6 years of me living like this. It's like a switch suddenly turned off in my head and the old me died. I know my testosterone is normal, however since my DHT is...

    I’ve tried creatine and boron without any improvement. Would it hurt to try the testosterone for a month or two just to see if higher DHT improves my symptoms?

    Symptoms were there long before Covid. Psychologist agreed it’s not depression due to the nature of the symptoms and how they appeared.

    I’ve seen 4 separate endocrinologists and done many tests. Adrenal CT came back normal. ACTH stimulation test came back with elevated Pregnenolone but not 17-OH progesterone which if elevated would have meant congenital adrenal hyperplasia. My cortisol is always slightly elevated, usually around...

    Would I just stop it cold turkey or would I need something like clomid? Also, will I feel even worse during those 1-2 months until my natural production comes back? Thank you.

    I've been there but unfortunately there aren't really any treatments at the moment.

    Hello, I'm 23 and used finasteride and other 5AR inhibitors when I was 18 which is about the time all my symptoms began. I have brain fog, poor memory, anhedonia, low libido, zero morning/nocturnal erections in many years, etc. I stopped the finasteride when I was 19 but the symptoms remained...

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.
