If you've ever seen a loved one suffer from a debilitating stroke, you would err on the side of caution. It's fucking awful.

What day was your lab taken? At day 7 trough? (assuming Xyosted is 1x per week) Xyosted peak is 1.8x trough according to their studies. If the TT 820 is trough, your peak would be a whopping TT 1470 I point this out because I have noticed that higher TT levels seem to aggravate my tendonitis...

You are doing good job educating yourself. Here is Vermeulen calculator link for you to calculate more accurate Free T: https://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm

I am curious, where does your FT of 193 sit in the blood test range? As side note, it is fascinating to see how different results look for your SBHG of 13 versus someone like myself with mid-high SHBG of low 40s. My TT would be outrageously over range on 20mg daily subq.

What's not to like?! If your E2 was high proportionally, one would think you would feel the side effects. If you are really concerned about the number, you could try gradually decreasing your daily dose to lower the E2. The balancing act would be to find the lowest dose possible while still...

Understood. Its going to take awhile for your body and mind to adjust to the reduced dose. Conventional wisdom around here is that you only adjust one variable at a time - so either dose, frequency or injection type but not at the same time. A lesson I learned the hard way...

Which ester are you using? What is your Total T? 8mg daily is major decrease from 30mg EOD. That is one reason you felt crappy.

If anyone is interested, you can buy lower dose Preg @ 5mg by Douglas Labs. I have a bottle of it sitting in my box of failed supplements lol. Like mentioned above, I seem to remember pattern of feeling good for 1-2 days and then crappy - similar to a hangover. Same with Progesterone. Its...

The fact that none of the men showed increase in libido is interesting. Then again, these were guys were young so probably had normal levels of libido to begin with.

TNE definitely different from TP. Must faster hitting. A little goes a long way in my experience. I tried both Suspension (water based) and TNE (oil based). @Cataceous started a thread on it here...

To be clear, I am not on TP only anymore. Too much of a roller coaster like you mentioned. Hence the reason for the TE/TP blend. At the moment, I am on TE low dose daily (7mg). I had been experimenting with adding no ester T to spike the TE steady state levels. Thanks for tip on using...

Good question Andro. Intentionally manipulating DHT is probably one of the few things I have not tried lol. I did mess around with transdermal T cream, which supposedly raises DHT levels more than T injections, but I did not fully commit. Like you, I blow up like a tick with traditional TRT...

Maybe ditch the HCG to see if BP comes down

Have you recently increased TRT/HCG dose or added supplement which might explain the sudden increase in BP?

With your experience, you probably already know that you will feel shitty for awhile reducing from 100mg to 60mg weekly even with improved sleep
