I think I’m going to try what funk said to do with cream, I’m not a heavy duty aromatizer and I admittedly haven’t gotten e2 measured since starting cream. Even on high dose cyp- the supposedly most aromatizing ester- my estrogen never got above 35. If the eth doesn’t work for you, you might...

Seems you’re right, prop has a melting point of 118-123 °C according to google. It does dissolve well in ethanol. I wonder why propionate feels the best for me mood and libido wise despite the insomnia it causes. I’m on cream which theoretically should match prop’s quick action. Cyp felt awful...

Defy medical does work with a handful of other pharmacies, I can ask around if anyone has the list of pharmacies they work with. I’m on cream now which works better and less side effects but the libido on prop was absolutely insanity. Even with the higher dht I haven’t been able to replicate it...

Anyone know if Empower can do custom blends of propionate with a different preservative? I felt the absolute best mentally and libido wise on prop but the same insomnia and hyper stimulation as you Funk. I know I’m allergic to BB/BA like you

Funny you mention thyroid here... I switched to cream from cypionate and the thyroid issues I had are reducing among other side effect alleviation. Mine was also in cotton seed oil. Now on 20% cream from empower, three clicks a day. Doing better!

Prop gave me a weird over stimulation feeling. Not quite anxiety but can’t relax. I’ve since learned I struggle with histamine intolerance so I’ve been working on fixing that.

Fluoroquinolones fucked up my life, using peptides to reverse what was damaged.

After trying straight Allopregnanolone I know I can NEVER take SSRIs. I had a HUGE inverse effect where I was ridiculously angry at nonissues and overreacted to pretty much everything. I had a very minor argument the morning before I received my Allo preg that essentially revolved around someone...

Gotcha, going to start at 50mg

Thank you for the help, I’ve ordered both the fat soluble and ttfd versions of b1. What dose are you taking of TTFD? I watched through some of the Elliot Overton videos, so I know to expect the paradoxical reaction for a week. I’m still not excited to experience it! Better to have a week long...

Other than thiamine, which I started today, what are ways to fix sympathetic dominance?

I’ve tried doses as low as 1.25mg, same sides

My end goal is to essentially feel “normal” for someone my age I’m only 21, I had the procedure when I was 18 and I’ve been struggling with consistent sleep, low libido and not feeling like I should. I have an excellent diet and workout every week day

Yes I’ve been on trt since 2019, I haven’t tried hcg though. Would you recommend looking into hcg alongside trt? My trt dose is 85mg weekly split into daily doses which gets me a FT of 140 pg/ml.

I want to love pregnenolone but it makes me feel just… weird. Like I’m tweaking almost, get super stiff and get oddly socially awkward also anxious. Anyone know why this is? I’m assuming it’s due to a choline reaction as I seem to be sensitive to other pro-cholinergic supplements. Estrogen was...

Out of curiosity how do you test for that gene mutation?

When I tried oral progesterone it creates crazy side effects for me. Felt bizarre and edgy like I was on some kind of drug.

What’s your shbg? I’ve noticed crashed shbg has given me that exact feeling. Currently in the process of repairing it

I inject AM as well but I know some people try nighttime injections. I’m thinking of restarting pregnenolone but I’m looking for a cream form as I recall someone saying on here they did better with pregnenolone cream. Also starting raloxifene to fix puberty gyno and potentially raise my shbg...

Sweet that’s my exact protocol, what time of day are you injecting and are you adding any supplements or other hormones along with the test prop?

That and the insomnia regardless of dose, my shbg is super low so I think that’s why prop has so far been working better.

Curious if anyone has raised shbg using a SERM like raloxifene, a new blood test shown my shbg was even lower- 11! It’s likely my shbg was lowered via Proviron given to me by my endo (she is an idiot but that’s besides the point). I do have some raloxifene I’d like to use to raise my shbg to...

Switching from cypionate to propionate this week, I’ll let you know my results in 3 weeks. I think cyp hasn’t been the best for me personally even with daily injections. We shall see.

Iirc the concentration was 25mg/ml and I took my dose post workout, I actually found that taking it right before bed kept me up for a bit. Not sure why, but it seems everything keeps me up haha. I tried taking it before bed and I felt overstimulated and just plain weird. Not sure if anyone else...

The only one I honestly remember was fatigue, I think I simply got bored and tired of it. It does raise prolactin over time and fatigue is a symptom of prolactin slightly out of range but I most definitely would have remembered sensitive nipples or other prolactin symptoms. It’s somewhat...

Man unfortunately this sounds exactly like me, almost thought I wrote this myself lol. Only difference is the time we’ve been on trt is different but I think my sleep was poor naturally but honestly in retrospect I think I attribute that to my illness. I’ve read this thread million times and I...

Consequences of a high dose to look out for? I will drop to 12mg orally then

My most current progesterone level was <.10 ng/ml but this was prior to taking oral progesterone

Thank you for the help, do you recommend taking neurosteroids alongside trt? And because someone else brought it up, will sub q injections be more similar to a natural rhythm than IM? Reduced my dose to 12mg daily starting on Thursday.

Ok I will give sub q a try starting tomorrow, have you had any side effects with sub q daily dosing?

Will do
