    PSA numbers increasing on testosterone- Should I stop TRT?

    I agree to a small degree but I think fMiky genetics play a major pRt and the psa test could save your life. My younger brother has cancer even after the removal of his prostate. He is on certain meds to include Lupron to keep his cancer at bay. I have an Uncle who did from prostate cancer as...

    PSA numbers increasing on testosterone- Should I stop TRT?

    My psa has recently risen to 4.5 and my Uro ordered a TRUSS biopsy. I chose not to have the biopsy right now and stopped trt about 60 to 80 days ago I believe. Retested psa a month ago and it was back to 3.7. Will recheck soon to see if there's changes. I will have a biopsy regardless but I'm...

    Prostate Biopsy

    Thanks so much for the reply. I'm 14 days out and am nervous about it. My platelets have fallen to 108 and now my Hematologist has to get involved. I am sure that I'm going to cancel particularly with a psa that has dropped from 4.5 to 3.7 after being off T for 6 weeks. I have followed the...

    Testosterone and Platelet Count

    Cataceous, I would tend to agree as using 100 mg weekly is when I get the best bump up. As soon as I get this prostate biopsy I'll make up my mind about moving forward. It's funny though as I get older how my system has changed as far as tolerating certain things. I have been using low dose...

    Testosterone and Platelet Count

    Just wanted to share an observation while being on Testosterone. I have Immune Thrombocytopenia where my system eats up a % of my platelets regularly. Hematologist doesn't know why just happens. I've noticed that when I'm on T my platelet count goes up to around 120 to 130 every time...

    When does natural production return when stopping TRT?

    Mastodont That is cool . My 200mg is a 1/4 teaspoon level. I'm going to go to 300mg soon just to test it out. It's always been good to me so I'll see where it goes. S.J.

    When does natural production return when stopping TRT?

    3 weeks off trt. I think that if the biopsy is negative I'm going to continue to go natural for a while. Going to try and incorporate Berberine which is shown to stimulate LH. Also I'm very interesting in the recent video Nelson has out on the effects of estrogen in men. Looking back over older...

    Mastodont I use 200 mg powder extract in my coffee in the morning. I am currently back using cistanche as my Urologist will not renew my Testosterone prescription with a PSA of 4.5 and a family history of Prostate cancer. My TT is currently @ 394. Historically it will come to around 500...

    Hydrocodone and Male Libido

    10-4 got it . Today is day 2 of no hydrocodone. I think I'm good though it is bothering me a bit. As far as Gabapentin goes it was not a going experience. At 700 milligrams I was very dizzy and had no appetite. The other side was erectile dysfunction almost immediately. I have since read...
