My outer thigh muscle, the rectus femoras, are very lean and that's where I inject my T cyp, using a 29g 5/16". I know it's shallow IM but it's definitely hitting muscle. I alternate sides and area each injection, which is 40mg Monday and Thursday. Warming the vial under hot water helps it...

I really like the Withings Sleep mat. It's a pad that goes under your mattress and tracks your Delta, REM, and light phases of sleep, as well as sleeping heart rate and any breathing disturbances. It syncs with your smartphone which allows you to keep track of each night. I paid around $100...

I absolutely disagree with your fallacious premise. Numerous studies demonstrate the benefits of restoring T levels. I'm not talking supraphysiologic levels either. I've been on TRT for 4 years and I can say, unequivocally, the benefits of it have been fantastic, both subjectively and...

Not sure about effect on thyroid but when I added hCG, I, too, experienced some mild anxiety. I'm using 150iu daily Monday-Friday (750weekly total). I lowered my T cyp dose from 50mg 2X/week to 40mg 2X/week and that did the trick. In secondary hypogonadism, hCG will allow your testicles to...

Not pathetic at all...it's called approaching with caution and is a very wise way to try a new substance. Anytime I use something new, I always inject a very small amount to see if it elicits a negative reaction. What if I'm allergic to it? If no adverse reaction, then I titrate up...rinse...

Good thing you started low. The sides usually pass after the first few injections.

When I get 10mg vials of a substance, I use 2.5mL bacteriostatic water to reconstitute. Then .25mL (one quarter of a milliliter) equals 1 milligram of product. Each unit on the syringe equals 40 micrograms. So, say, 5 units equals 200 micrograms. I've found dosing things like PT141 or...

I take 2 one mg anastrazole tablets and crush them into a fine powder. I then put that in a dropper bottle and add 10 milliliters each of food grade polypropylene glycol and 10 milliliters of pharmacy compounding liquid (helps cover the taste of the p. glycol). Shake well. The dosage is 1...

Thank you for the detailed replies. Once again, this site overwhelms me with the generous knowledge shared here.

I'm sure this has been answered here before but I searched and can't find the answer. The question I have is: Normal males produce around 4-7 milligrams of natural testosterone per day, so that works out to 28-49mgs per week. Why do we tend to use so much more, say testosterone cypionate...

I use Pregnyl (and have for years) and, like the link I posted states, easily stays potent for 60+ days.

I use the NOW brand of Pygeum, which has saw palmetto in it. I swear when I started using it, I had the same results as OP did. Better orgasms, more precum, etc. Pygeum, along with Lethicen (sunflower), hCG, and l-arginine allows me to shoot like I did when I was in my 30s (I'm 52 now)...

Actually, what I posted is accurate.

I've found that hCG, sunflower lecithin, pygeum, and l-arginine allows me to shoot like I did when I was in my 30s (I'm 52 now). Edging also adds to volume as well. I also do Kegels daily and believe that';s very important to keep those muscles well trained.

I use Pregnyl and it stays good for a long time. Also, You shouldn't freeze reconstituted hCG. The lyophilized powder is fine to keep in the freezer but not once it's mixed with BAC water.

I used to dose 500iu 3X/week but the E2 was getting out of control. I now dose 250iu Monday and Thursday with my T injections and that works well for me, keeps testicles full, loads are great, and orgasms are very intense.

I've read that elevated IGF can also raise the prospect of some cancers. What to believe?!?

Back in May of 2019 I had my IGF-1 tested and the results were 103 (100-300 ng/mL), which seemed low. This was pre Test replacement. I started T replacement in September/2019 (I'm on 100mg Test Cyp/week) and didn't really think about the IGF-1 further Recently, I thought about starting an...

AI (aromatase inhibitor) and Arimidex (brand name for anastrozole) are the same thing. Perhaps you meant hCG? I currently use hCG, 300iu/3X/week along with 100mg test cyp. 2X/week, so hCG may be beneficial to you but it's easier to dial in on test alone. One thing: Keep a written log of how...

My take is dosage is likely too high, as well as using hCG, which while preserving testicular size and some endogenous testosterone, can cause issues in some people. Plus using an AI, (even in low doses) can result in lowering E2 too much. I can tell you from personal experience low E2 will...

That's what I'd do. You can always warm the vial under some hot water to thin the carrier oil and any crystals that might develop.

Fanny packs are back in style.

Car interiors can reach upwards of 130F in the summer. If this was me, I'd be concerned about high heat degrading the test cyp. Your best bet is to ask your pharmacist.

OP, you're running a total of 105mg per week. Nothing crazy about that dose and if that's where you feel best at, that's really all that matters. Sure labs are important with the data they provide. But TRT is about how you feel, how your pre-TRT symptoms are alleviated. That's what...

Yes, I'm feeling better by the day and have no doubts the test cyp was bad or at least "underpowered". I told my doc to cancel the refill with the compounder and want only my local pharmacy brand. She agreed without any issue. Funny thing is I never had this issue before. I went with the...

I'll throw my $.02 in. I've been using sublingual pregnenolone for over a year. I use 3 drops which equals about 10mg of micronized version. I've used oral capsules before but I think the sublingual is better in terms of bio-availity. I use it in the mornings. I find it just gives me a...

Do you take both of them before bed? When you say sleep better, do you mean longer or is the quality of your sleep improved?

Found this on another site, not sure if it's complete. High estrogen sides Acne, loss of libido, water retention (Bloat), pissing less than the water you consume, moon face, very small testicles, scrotum hanging too high, soft testicles, extreme oiliness all over, aggression (roid rage)...

I didn't want to leave this thread hanging. I ended up calling my doc, explaining to her I believed the test cyp. was suspect. She actually agreed, called in a script for 4 1mL bottles at a local pharmacy. After injecting, I feel markedly better. Pretty sure it's not placebo, as I've been...

I appreciate all the responses.
