    Dosage of test cyp on TRT

    I'm been on TRT for 2 years. When I started, I was taking 120 mg test cyp once a week with 250 IU HCg twice a week, my sexual function was great. Later the Doctor prescribed me 140 mg test cyp a week and no HCG. With the new protocol I gained more muscle but my sexual functioning wasn't that...

    Is recommended for guys with high SHBG to take HCG?

    I have a doctor who told me that because I have high SHBG, he told me to take only testosterone. He said that HCG will raise my SHBG levels. I guess HCG is beneficial for guys with low/moderate SHBG, but not for guys with high SHBG.:confused:

    Anyone with libido and erection issues on TRT

    I'm been on TRT for four months. At the beginning I was taking 140 mg test cyp in divided doses twice a week and HCG 250 twice a week. I felt good but libido and erections were not good. Then I took 160mg test cyp in divided doses twice a week and my libido and erections didn't improve. Then I...

    Is 140mg test cyp a week a high dose?

    Thank you everyone for the answers. The reason because I have to wait, is because my insurance has a deductible of 6000$, so I have to pay cash, plus of course the visit to see the results, which is 175$. That is why I have to wait.

    Is 140mg test cyp a week a high dose?

    I'm been doing it for two weeks.Do you think maybe I should not take so many supplements to lower my SHBG, because test already lowers SHBG?.

    Is 140mg test cyp a week a high dose?

    I'm injecting 140mg test cyp once a week. I also take several supplements daily in order to lower my high SHBG (50-55). The supplements are: Boron 12mg, Nettle 1740 mg, Magnesium 1000mg, vitamin D3 2,000 IU. So, is 140mg test cyp a week too high?.:confused: I can't get lab test until August...

    Nature Thyroid on TRT, does it increase SHBG?

    My doctor told me after reviewing my labs, that my thyroid was in the lower range, so he wanted the thyroid at a higher level. The problem is that I have high SHBG around 50 to 55. I did read that Nature Throid will increase my SHBG even more. The article said that Hypothyroidism lowers SHBG...

    Does anyone get as moody as I am on TRT?

    I have high SHBG. When I was on 70mg test cypionate twice a week my libido was low. Now I'm injecting 140mg once a week and my libido is great. Doing once a week or twice a week depends on the individual, some feel better once a week, others twice a week. I think it depends of your SHBG. If is...

    High SHBG, low free testosterone but high total testosterone

    Thank you guys so much. My SHBG is usually around low 50's. Now that I'm injecting once a week 140mg test cyp instead of 70mg twice a week, should I add anastrazole in the protocol?

    High SHBG, low free testosterone but high total testosterone

    For high SHBG, is better to inject test cyp once a week or twice a week?. I'm currently injecting 70mg twice a week, and my libido is low. Maybe injecting 140mg test cyp once a week will be better?. I read that for guys with high SHBG is better once a week, is that true?. I read that John...

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.
