    My protocol managing hct and libido

    I had tried E3D before and now trying daily. To be honest, its not going well. I just feel like garbage on the stuff, even Pregnyl.

    My protocol managing hct and libido

    Good to see update from you MJ. Some of your previous posts about protocol change still resonate with me because the only times I've gotten flashes of libido on TRT were from dose changes (or when stopping TRT). The one recent exception was libido from low dose no tester T, in this case...

    7.5mgs daily labs

    You started the smart way. When/if the time comes, its easy to titrate up versus down.

    Good luck Craig. That T blend might be the oddest one I've seen yet!

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    I would suggest getting new vial of testosterone or better yet a different brand. Either you are not delivering the T correctly as Funk mentioned or there is something wrong with the T

    Updated Labs - Help Please

    TT 706 ng/dL with highish SHBG 44.8 nmol/L on 20mg TC daily seems way too low. Something off there...

    New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.

    Its a great discussion to have because Phil and Cat represent two different schools of thought. That's what makes this forum so invaluable versus the steroid culture chat groups. Agreed it would be better if posted in standalone thread. But damn I wish could have seen their discussion early...

    He lost me when he started talking about titrating up from 120 mg :D which he acknowledges will already put most men at top of range or even well above it. Its like saying one martini makes you feel good so why not two?

    New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.

    While there may be other causes, these symptoms are very common for older men (the mid-50 doldrums!). It sucks but its the unfortunate reality of getting older. If you find the solution, let me know.

    Pain after subq injections

    For subq, most use much thinner gauge needle of 30 or 31 with short length of 5/16. Injection in belly fat https://www.excelmale.com/threads/daily-subqers-5-stars-for-bd-ultra-fine-insulin-syringe-31g-3-10cc-5-16.24643/

    Giving up on TRT after 5 years

    Respect for the rant and for being honest with yourself. I too have questioned many times whether TRT is worth it and have quit on several occasions only to return for some reason. I think a big part of it is general dissatisfaction with life after 50. For me, TRT has been neither the cure nor...

    TRT Dose question

    Cialas/viagra targets ED - i.e., the mechanical aspect. Whereas lack of libido refers to no interest in sex - i.e., the mental piece. You can have one without the other.

    TRT Dose question

    It is confusing because most of AAS articles appear to refer to TNE as oil base (sometimes just referred to as "Base) whereas Suspension refers to water. Either way there is no ester, but the two can be different in terms of absorption rate and PIP.

    TRT Dose question

    Same exact experience here. At top of range, I have sub-zero libido if that is possible (at least pre-TRT I have occasional flashes). I have mid-high SHBG of 40-45 I continue to be jealous of guys who experience raging libido at supraphysiologic levels. If only...

    TRT Dose question

    I am a daily low dose subq guy and have found that anything over 6mg TE daily will result in early AM awakenings which leaves me feeling shitty rest of the day. I am currently adding 2mg TNE to my daily base of 6mg TE to provide a morning spike. The fast acting TNE is out of the body by...

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.
