I’ve found most TRT clinic docs are better than most PCP type docs. Most med places out where I’m at tell you you’re fine because you don’t have diabetes or cancer and then you move along. I remember arguing with one way back asking to have my estrogen tested because I had all the symptoms of...

There’s a clinic in SF that gives a cookie cutter protocol to everyone where you get 200mg of test or more a week with Anastrazole actually mixed in with it. I’m glad a friend steered me clear of them. They come to you for blood tests which is nice, but if they’re mixing an AI in with the test...

I dropped DHEA a while back. I actually felt better mood wise on it in many ways but it helped a lot since my cortisol’s low and they seem to compete. It also bloated my face more it would seem. DHEA made me less bloated internally from faster churning intestines, but my T3 regime is balancing...

400mg in the morning right now from Klaire Labs on Amazon, sometimes Double Wood. At 100mg my levels were still really low. Haven’t had a test at 400mg yet on preg since I’ve been playing with thyroid a lot and haven’t settled on that yet, but it’ll be on my next test. I’ve tried 30mg and didn’t...

I’m well aware of the SARMs market but you’re kind of missing the point. It’s easy as piss to get test underground too, and at far lower prices, but most if not all of us are still getting it from US pharmacies. The fact that Chinese companies put out SARMs isn’t what‘s holding the US made...

It wouldn’t be a waste of money because them patenting it is part of what would encourage people to crack down on the SARMs grey market, as the reason they’re sold online is because it’s for supposed research purposes. At least from a pharmacy, my Oxandrolone is far more expensive.

To be fair to SARMs, some are only recently even being patented and all that takes time. That’s why you can’t buy them from your TRT clinic, not because they’re bad.

I don’t know about that. I don’t recommend them in general but I’ve done Ostarine several times off and on TRT and know a bunch of guys that did all the SARMs. I own a bunch of them all but only did Ostarine. If you’re a guy on TRT already and your SHBG is higher, Ostarine does seem to reliably...

I was put on Nature, NP, and WP at various points, which was another reason I was getting fed up with it since they did all hit me differently and I had no control over staying with a brand. I don’t recall at the moment which I did the best on but they did indeed act differently. One comfort...

I also wasn’t aware I had low cortisol for most of my time on it and hadn’t distinguished my many different issues because there were so many going on all at once it took years to sort out what was what and what was related and unrelated. One big issue I had was an inability to feel most bodily...

Hard to say. NDT didn’t alter my FT3 levels much. 1 grain had me at 3.4-3.6 I think, before that being 3.2 on the test prior, with 1.5 grains making it .2 higher. More felt worse in some ways and better in others. Also didn’t at all help my gut issues, which was the main thing for me. Usually...

Haha. Well, it could be, but there’s a lot that can cause that. If I have too much salt and not enough potassium I get that. Or my thyroid gets too high.

They varied but 3-3.2 for my free T3, TSH varied but was always in range usually on the lower end, don’t recall T4, RT3 was 25-26 and sometimes a little higher than the reference range but after seeing some people with crazy RT3’s over the years probably not all that high compared to them, just...

Your thyroid did bounce back then, and whatever you’re dealing with would either be something that caused, or unrelated, but it did seem to coincide with the T3 so I’d still say that’s likely. You’d want to work on your hemoglobin and hematocrit either way, depending on how far out of range they...

I came into all this from PFS and have tended to have low cortisol, and I’m on 400mg of pregnenolone in the morning. That helped immensely across the board. I asked about Cialis because there’s a lot that can break about your dick. For me, and another poster here, thyroid meds (typically T3 /...

One girl I used to date is going to be 41 soon and does pretty well, but she’s also crazy and shoots herself in the foot any time she’s with somebody. With one great guy she thought he was too good for her and she left. Another great guy she was with for like 8 years had her refusing to have...

Not sure but I’m ordering a test the next time I go in. Was going to be tomorrow but I’m changing my thyroid meds again so I’m waiting for that to even out more first. Hoping for the best with it. High does preg has been a great boon to me despite some side effects like minor water retention.

Things like thyroid and cortisol did more for my dick than test ever did, being somewhat permissive to test. Have you tried small doses of Cialis? I’m assuming you have. I never really had problems with my dick before messing with thyroid hormones, but those do help me a lot with other things...

400mg daily in the morning.

That’s one key to a happy marriage. I know plenty of people married that are the other’s best friend in a sense and that can be fine, but you can’t rely on each other for everything. If you need support it can’t be from your partner if you’re a guy. At least not if you want them to love you...

I have plenty of female friends around 40 that all want me to date girls their age and tried hooking me up with their friends for like a year and endlessly talked about how younger girls suck. One of the friends is basically a trophy GF to a hyper rich guy, and she’s pretty and has been around a...

I’ve been there for girls all the time by virtue of them just living with me and me working from home, and it still worked, but you have to be in a position to have demonstrable options pass them by frequently to keep them chasing. It’s not something I think most guy’s work situations could...

Being able to take time apart when needed is key. I’ve historically been bad at that and always kind of lived on top of people, but going to stay with family or friends for a bit or something when needed, or if you’re not already living together just not seeing her, is objectively superior when...

Take it down a cup a week or two. L-Theanine can help with the withdrawal a bit, but it’ll suck either way.

I think all women feel that way, some are just more open about it than others. I had an uncle that was married and he got sick. His wife ended up getting a boyfriend and the boyfriend’s dog ended up killing the husband’s dog, which was his best and only remaining real friend. At this point in...

As a counter to this, if a girl likes you enough and you work at it, that’ll usually maintain for as long as you do. Although it wasn’t planned, I’ve had a couple of relationships where they all but moved in after a month, and before that kept coming up with excuses to see me daily, if only for...

I’ll side with it seemingly being more of a genetic thing. I’ve had my E2 all over the place and around 80 for like a year and have been fat before and I’ve never gotten gyno. I know other guys that aren’t even on TRT that got gyno.

No gluten didn’t seem to help me with bloat, but beano does. Even with things you wouldn’t think you’d need it with, like brown rice. Being bloated is like suddenly being fat, and I wear form fitting clothes, so I’m willing to do almost anything to avoid it. I also take GasX with meals and...

People’s bodies seem to be either T4-focused or T3-focused, relying on intracellular T3 by T4 conversion or more things just coming in from T3 flat out into the cell. T4 usually fixes most things for me that T3 causes in short order, including giving me energy and making me feel like most people...

I never noticed anything like that on T3, either. At first on slow release T3 I had a lot of mental energy that I blew through real quick, but for T3 that was about it, sans it also helping my gut move. About the only loss I had on any form of T3 was muscle glycogen and eventually likely a...

I suppose of note on my blood tests throughout being on T3 and T4 in various forms, my TSH never really changed much.
