With those numbers, I'd probably just stay off of TRT.

I have tested both (TT and E2) a few days apart at peak/trough on E3.5D. There was a significant difference.

I know you didn’t initially ask for protocol advice, but a change might be due. Lower dose, more frequent injections. May even allow you to both get in the 700-800s AND lower HCT.

I have - particularly when applying cream AM and PM. Have you tried low dose (10-14mg) daily injections? I’ve had less than ideal sleep on all protocols (wasn’t the best sleeper before TRT either) but slept better on low dose daily compared to other protocols.

What is the half life of nandrolone decanoate? Some sources say 6 days, others say 6 to 12 days... Trying to figure out when, if one were to inject say 40mg today, the ND would no longer be active/in one’s system.

Often the solution to this and many other issues is - lower your dose. What is your current protocol/most recent labs?

Excellent work! I would think it might be worth a shot for you to see whether or not it makes a positive difference for you. You’ll need a knowledgeable doc to even prescribe you T with a TT in the 600s - hopefully that doc can also come up with a plan tailored to you to work with your specific...

Be 100% honest because we’re mostly strangers here trying to help each other: - Are you overweight? - Do you have healthy eating habits? - Do you exercise regularly? I would always suggest that people address those issues (to the best, reasonable extent possible) before starting TRT.

I recall a set of labs from about a year ago. Taken 5 weeks into a protocol change from E3.5D to daily injections. Details aside, it seemed that my E2 had gone up a fair amount while TT/FT went down. Would you think that this incongruent result would be a result of testing too early, and that...

One part of your post that jumped out at me was right at the end, where you stated, "I'm feeling pretty good right now." If that's the case, I would just stick with what you're doing. Daily injections did in fact lower HCT for me - oddly enough my E2 went up on dailies. I never could quite...

I’m trying to figure that out as well. I seem to recall @JimGainz has some experience with titrating T dose along with nandrolone dosages.

IIRC this isn’t the first time you’ve incorporated nandrolone into your protocol. Assume you never had BP issues in the past?

IIRC, the article stated 15/mg per kg per day. Agree though...the spirit of it is very large doses were used. Thanks for your reply - always appreciate your input. I assume that at this point you have discontinued using nandrolone. How long ago did you stop using it and have the mental effects...

Not exactly sure what you’re asking, but yes, Empower is top notch.

Yes, apparently that is exactly it according to my doctor.

I was unable to get beyond the abstracts. The first article mentioned 15mg/kg per day (rats). For me, that would be about 8,820mg/week. In the second article, do they mention dosages? All of the articles mention abuse. Wondering if this could be an issue with doses commonly used for TRT, like...

I guess I can't honestly speak to what 50mg/day of cream should do since I've never dosed that low and don't recall seeing anyone here who did either. Your results do not surprise me though considering the dose. I now understand the method of dosing you are using. My first TRT prescription was...

I always appreciate your thoughts, so if you wouldn't mind: My TT on 60mg E3.5D usually comes in around 900 trough. Could you explain what dose you would recommend for a daily protocol and how you arrived at that?

One of the better TRT videos I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. What do you think of TruT FT levels? Do you think that is a decent metric, and if so, what do you think of my levels on the two protocols outlined in my original post?

I don't know whether or not I had scar tissue before.

If I'm reading this correctly, you said your dose was 0.2ml of a 250 mg/ml cream. Doesn't that equate to 50mg/day? If so, I agree that your dose needs to be increased. However, I guess I'm confused by the clicks and cream strength as presented. With a standard topi-click dispenser, each click...

Sure - feel free to ask as many questions as you like. I do not know the angle, though as I mentioned it was not extreme. It was more of a curve like a banana, and not even as pronounced as that. However, it was definitely noticeable. The pain was significant too. I was late 30s when this...

I've been at this for a few years now. I've tried various methods of administration and protocols, but always seem to settle back to what has been my go to protocol of 60mg E3.5D cyp. After experimenting with a few different protocols over the past year - daily prop, daily cyp, EOD cyp, cream...

You’ve only been on TRT for four weeks? If so, I hate to break it to you but you likely have a long road of trial and error ahead. My advice would be to try various injection frequencies/dosage adjustments using T only - no AI. Get as close as you can to feeling good and healthy numbers using...

No problem - that's what this forum is all about. I guess I like it overall - I've tried a lot of different things and this is what I seem to come back to/where I feel best. It is certainly more convenient than EOD and daily, so I guess in a way I'm happy those didn't work out for me lol...

No, not currently. My levels on 60mg E3.5D tend to be around TT 900 and E2 47 at trough. Recently, however, I've been thinking about adding an AI just to see if it makes a difference for the better.

No problem - and yes you are correct. It should not irritate scrotum skin or the skin on the shaft. I've intentionally wiped the residue after scrotal application on the shaft many times (when I knew I wouldn't be having intercourse with my wife). The cream will basically feel like any...

Same here. Also I'm an even lower SHBG guy on more frequent injections. It seems to drive my SHBG further down.

Nope - no problem. However, if you're having sex without a condom, you'll need to be aware/prepare accordingly.

There is no direct correlation. Edited: In my original post I confused IU/cc...people are often asking about the conversion from cc to ml, etc. Doh.
