    Libido and E2

    I really think people get wrapped up too much in the E2 and libido connection. I personally have always found that my libido while it has always been high there's stretches where its really high and then stretches where it's not quite as high. Been this way since before Testosterone and no...

    My testosterone is lower than before I started TRT

    Despite what some will say you absolutely can benefit from testosterone therapy with a starting level of 461. You would need other labs as well though. Some can even manage their own TRT if they study up and do it correctly. But buying testosterone from a source other than a pharmacy is where...

    Side Affects From The Ai !

    The one thing I can never really wrap my head around is how many people are feeling good on any particular protocol and then make a change. If you feel good roll with it.

    E2 vs Test troughs on AI

    It's hard to compare two different people, but I take 44mg M/W/F and have only tested my E2 on Monday morning before my dose of test. I was also taking 0.125mg of anastrazole at the same time as my injection. 5 months ago on my last labs my E2 was 40. I decided that I would stop the anastrazole...

    New thoughts on AI

    Regardless of how you feel about taking an AI, taking 300mg a week and taking an AI vs taking a replacement/optimization dose with no AI seems like a bad idea. And is your doctor prescribing that dose?

    Water Retention and Rapid Weight Gain Caused by Testosterone

    If your testosterone is 200mg/ml then you would be taking 86mg twice a week. That's probably a good deal more than you need even to be at the high end of the spectrum. If you are retaining 12lbs of water it could be just your body adjusting and you might lose some of that as time goes buy once...

    Newest labs without AI for 6 weeks

    I'm no doctor but it seems to me you are seriously overthinking this. If you feel good then tell your doctor you feel good and if he wants to change something you need to find another doctor. Even if your E2 creeps up higher you have a ways to go before you have a problem. I would just carry on...

    Low Testosterone saving a marriage ???

    My wife and I have always had sex 5+ times a week even before TRT. My wife claims that when talking about it with her friends every single one of them says they don't have much sex but wish they had more. My guess is that most women even if they complain once in a while are more than happy to...

    Hematocrit Up - Asking For Thoughts

    I have heard that athletes such as cyclists use cardio to reduce hematocrit when they take EPO. They get tested and of they are over a certain number its a failed test. From what I understand the massive amount of cardio they are doing lowers it so they test it ahead of time and if they need it...

    How Much Does Anastrozole Lower Estradiol?

    You didn't mention what your symptoms were. It's possible that they are not related to your E2.

    I was on 0.2mg of Anastrazole MWF taken at the same time as my Testosterone injections until 3 months ago. I decided to stop and see what happens. I had labs schedule when I decided to stop so I got my labs and then stopped. My sensitive E2 on those labs was 40. Since stopping I can't say I feel...

    No Insurance - Is This a Viable Approach?

    I do understand the fear of being on testosterone for the rest of your life. But the reality is if you have low T, not being on testosterone for the rest of your life is a much worse option.

    Low Libido while on TRT

    So being fat and not exercising will take years to kill you yet 400 mgs of testosterone a week will get the job done inside of 6 months?

    No Insurance - Is This a Viable Approach?

    This is a bad idea. If you really are interested in going on testosterone, spend some time reading these forums and you will learn some things. Either go with Defy or if you look around you might find someone local to you that could do it at an affordable price.

    At what age did you start testosterone and what was your total testosterone?

    Started at 39. Total t was around 470 if I remember correctly. Free t was only 6 though.

    TOT roundtable contradicting themselves once again

    Is it not possible that when he says all the water is gone, he is referring to a situation where the person is extremely dry and not actually holding on to enough water? For instance, I'm pretty lean but I assume if I was taking a high dose AI that I would lose some water. That doesn't mean that...

    Question about my body

    You look normal. Be thankful that you aren't the average 26yr old which is soft and chubby. If you want to build muscle it takes time but if you get to work on that you should be able to slowly put on some muscle. Being able to grow a thick beard is not all it's made out to be. Unless you're...

    MWF protocol

    I believe the idea is that it's more frequent slightly smaller injections. Every other day would be slightly better but more confusing. Many people think every day would be ideal however some don't want to inject daily. For me, I started on M/W/F and it's been great so have never seen a reason...

    Should I Have Morning Wood Every Day on Testosterone?

    I'm not sure that waking up without morning wood indicated that you didn't have an erection during your sleep. I think it comes and goes throughout the night. I personally have morning wood almost every day and I sometimes think it's what wakes me up. However I was the same before starting...

    Does anyone on here actually feel good? Any success stories?

    I commented in the other thread for dialed in guys. I usually just say I feel good because I realize that everyone's experience is different and nobody should start taking testosterone simply from reading a couple guys stories about feeling good, but the reality is I felt like I was shot out of...

    Injecting testosterone 3 times a week

    I do 48mg M/W/F. I am not real strict about when I inject but usually in the morning sometime. I generally work a couple days a weak so on those days I do it early am before work. If I don't work on Friday I usually inject mid day. If I do work on Friday I inject at 6am and to be honest, even by...

    The Thread for Dialed-In Dudes

    I'm 40 and have been on testosterone for 18 months. From about 6 weeks when I first noticed a real difference I have felt great. Before testosterone I would wake up feeling pretty rested but by mid day was taking a nap almost daily. My recovery from workouts was terrible and I work out everyday...

    Giving blood

    3 point change in 3 months means nothing. I have had labs done much closer together on multiple occasions and had mine drop or raise that much in much shorter time. Unless you like giving blood there is no need to.
