Curious...what is an “event”?

Overall, would you say that you are "happier" off of TRT?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Great to hear that things are going well for you. I would be interested in seeing pre replacement and post replacement labs, or at least a few highlights from those labs.

First, how much are you injecting? I assume 0.2ml...if not, there’s your problem. I’ve heard people say TC in cottonseed is “thicker” than grapeseed but I’ve honestly never noticed a difference, and I use 29g and 30g needles to draw and inject. Steps (leaving out sanitization, etc): -Draw air...

I do remember you BBB - thanks for checking back in and sharing your results.

Generally speaking, what other protocol changes would you recommend to control prolactin? The last time it was tested, my prolactin was 18.5 ng/ml (4.0-15.2). I'm starting to suspect this is causing issues for me.

As Mark Saur mentioned your question isn't entirely clear, however with 200mg/ml just double the number measured on the syringe (ml/cc) and that's your dose in mg. Since 160/3 doesn't give a clean number (strange that your doctor didn't calc this...), your best option is to inject .26mg (52mg)...

I recently came across a thread where someone (@Cataceous ?) posted a nice chart showing many different compounds, family, propensity to aromatize to E2. Can’t find it now. If anyone could find it based on my vague description, I’d appreciate it!

Could you please expand on how you accomplish this? For example, maybe share your pre ND protocol with TT, FT, E2 and your current Test+ND protocol with TT, FT, E2? Would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I guess I’m still struggling with the math and rationale here. For example, using that approach a guy could have a TT of 250 ng/dl and a sensitive E2 of 45 pg/ml. 250x0.02 = 5 ng/dl = 50 pg/ml Using that math his FT of 50 would be greater than his E2 of 45, though I...

Interesting comments from Dr. Saya. I’m very curious to hear from the hive as to how many actually have Free T > E2 without using an AI. With my own labs and with numerous labs from others I’ve seen here, when Free T is in the upper ranges (25-30) E2 seems like it is usually higher. I’m a...

That is touted as the expected outcome of switching to dailies, but wasn't the case for me. My E2 numbers both as an absolute value and as a ratio to TT were higher on dailies than on E3.5D. I don't have my notes in front of me, but yes I did lower total weekly dose on daily protocol too.

I know this question isn't directed at me, but I addressed my Accutane-induced issues successfully with TRT. I wouldn't say it "reversed" them, but TRT definitely helps. A lot. The quirk for me seems to be that I need to run levels higher than most guys. I often read guys saying how "less is...

Ha! I've had the exact same experience.

I've tried just about everything - Cyp ED/EOD/E3.5D/1x/week, cream, Prop. AI and no AI. HCG and no HCG. All have their pros/cons, but I find that the best overall for me is Cyp E3.5D. Usually 60mg E3.5D. No AI or HCG.

I could have written what Jason wrote myself - however, I would say that TRT definitely helps in my case. But agreed - stay away from Accutane.

I have used both Empower and the generic brands from the pharmacy. I used the 3mg from Empower and now use 5mg generic. Note that I was using the capsules, not ODT. I can't say I noticed a huge difference either way, and admittedly, shouldn't expect to with such a low dose. I believe both help...

Thank you - always learning from you. You may have addressed this in your first paragraph, but in case I misunderstood: given the examples I outlined - 60mg E3.5D Cyp vs 17mg day Prop - would you expect that trough levels would be higher on the prop protocol?

I created the plots below using a tool from another site, which I'm sure many of you have seen before. I'd like some clarification as to whether or not the way I'm interpreting the data is correct. I'm aware of the ester weight/percentage for the two esters being compared, and that 120mg cyp...

For me, more frequent injections lower my SHBG.

Yeah...belly fat (even maintaining proper distance from navel, etc) always stings for me. I inject in the fat pad on my hip/butt - ventrogluteal area. Next time you are sitting on the toilet: 1. Take your left hand, reach across to your right hip. 2. Place your thumb on your iliac crest (hip...

Did you inject in your stomach? That injection site always burns for me. Other spots do not.

What is your hunch?

You have discussed at length your numbers in reference to your age, yet I haven't seen anything about what symptoms you might be having that may be related to T levels. What symptoms were you having that made you look into your T levels at such a young age? If you aren't having any symptoms...

Both T Cyp and T Enth can be injected either IM or SubQ. There are many places online that sell insulin syringes for something like ~$15 per 100. Many of us here use the EasyTouch brand. For smaller SubQ injections, 28g, 29g, or 30g seem to be the most popular sizes.

You might consider finding a new doc...him stating that Enanthate cannot be injected SubQ doesn't inspire confidence. To directly address your questions: 1. Yes, definitely. 2. N/A. Good luck!

Interesting. What is your SHBG?

I would just tell him exactly what you said in your second paragraph. He shouldn't resist, in fact, he will probably appreciate you keeping track of your progress and communicating honestly with him. You have a solid, well-documented reason for why you want to make the change. He will let you...

You're in the right place to learn more about cream. You should also talk to your doc about it. In terms of learning about dialing in...there is really nothing to be learned. There are no tricks or shortcuts. What works for one guy very likely may not work for you. Some people swear by HCG...

I do not use either, though I have used both in the past. I have never struggled with libido. I did, however, struggle with ED. I feel that cream is better for me in regards to both libido and erectile function.

This might get more views if moved to the appropriate sub forum... Though I haven't experienced it (never used Trimix) or heard first hand about it, I would think what you are experiencing would be somewhat common in guys using Trimix for ED. Here is why: Guys that are using Trimix often have...
