    Latest labs

    I inject 125mg/week divided into two injections and 1000iu of hcg/week divided into two injections. The hcg injections happen 24 hours before the T injections. The basic stuff looked good but a few things popped up as high or low. LH and FSH low .1 and <.2 respectively - guessing this is due...

    Which labs to order

    Started TRT 4/17. Last labs, blood draw was at my trough, had my T at 814, E was within range, everything else was within range. Labs were done 9/17. No specific thyroid testing that I remember. Both times I had labs done I used the TRT follow-up panel.

    Which labs to order

    through discountedlabs? Since my last labs I have added HCG and Tadalafil to my regimen. My main complaint is a loss of sensitivity in the equipment. DL has a Pre-TRT and Followup TRT lab. The pre TRT panel is pretty expensive though. Last, should I add a Prolactin test to the order and...

    Do you tend to build up a tolerance to testosterone TRT?

    I know when I first started I could have launched a rocket to the moon with my morning wood. Libido was off the charts. Wife was getting tired of telling me to get off her. I put of good weight, great energy, just felt good overall. I was getting stronger at the gym. Then I plateaued and I...

    Do pde5 increase length of intercourse time or could it be tied to estrogen

    I have noticed that since starting TRT my equipment has lost sensitivity making it almost impossible at times to finish. Sex had become a chore instead of a pleasure. We were having sex almost daily and I think was Vince that suggested the frequency could be a contributing factor. A week ago...

    Labs look good but libido is still shot; help!

    Ugh, T therapy is so confusing. I have read in other threads that an E above 35 is too high and causes issues.

    Labs look good but libido is still shot; help!

    So if my T was 879 and my E was 25 that would make my ratio 35.16? If a recommended ratio is between 14-20:1 does that mean I need to lower T or raise E?

    Loss of penis sensitivity, achy joints, dull orgams

    So my next question is when to pull labs. I am waiting six weeks before doing so since I added HCG into my schedule but should I pull labs at my trough or peak? Last time I did trough and my T was 879, Free T was 21.3, E was 25, SHBG was 26. Thinking about adding a Prolactic test next time...

    Loss of penis sensitivity, achy joints, dull orgams

    Much thanks to MM and Saul. I do not think the ED issues are being caused by the overdosing of zinc. I did some research on the side effects of too much zinc and ED was not listed. The mental weight of "will I be able to perform" pops up every time we climb into bed and that is no doubt...

    Loss of penis sensitivity, achy joints, dull orgams

    Just read the bottle, 455% of RDA. Add the 73% of my RDA my multivitamin was giving me and I was taking over 500% of the RDA. Think I'll stop the zinc tabs

    Loss of penis sensitivity, achy joints, dull orgams

    We are having sex almost daily, sometimes twice in a 24-hour period. On occasion I have taken 10mg of tadalafil but the last time I took it it seemed to have no effect

    Loss of penis sensitivity, achy joints, dull orgams

    What are you seeing that makes you think I should lower my dose? Is it my trough T level being as high as it is?
