    Attempting a Restart - again....

    Well I stopped the clomid and have continued with the tamoxifen. I was just feeling completely off and moody, and sleeping poorly. For whatever reason the clomid really seems to throw me for a loop. I have a blood draw in a few days to see if the old pituitary is doing anything.

    Attempting a Restart - again....

    Well here we go again. Currently in the middle of a restart attempt. Brief summary..... I've been on trt for three years. I started because I had all the symptoms even though my TT was in the 400s. Turns out it was issues with benzos that I was on at the time but by the time I figured that out...

    Benefits vanish overnight

    Wanted to see if anyone experiences this.... Once every month or two I will wake up and feel like everything is gone and it lasts about 1-2 weeks. Nocturnal Erections, general fullness when hanging flaccid, strength, energy, etc. all gone. Then things get straightened out for whatever reason...

    Injecting wrong dose??

    I think because it worked out that I didn't feel right on the full dose (which with my miscalculation would have been 200mg) so I was taking half that. It worked out right for the script. Plus, recently I have been doing a combo of 10mg cream a day (for DHT) and injections of 20cc per week. i...

    Injecting wrong dose??

    Thanks Gene. Yep, I've been doing it wrong and thought my math was right this time around, but after doing it wrong for 2 years it sent my head spinning!!

    Injecting wrong dose??

    Ok. I am feeling like an idiot. A long while back I did the math and calculated that using an insulin syringe (marked in units) and using T Cyp with 200mg/ml that 1 unit on the syringe would equal one mg of T. For instance if I was going to inject 50mg, then I would inject 50 units...... I...

    Raising DHT with injections

    small amount of the compounded T I have, placed on my scrotum sends the DHT skyrocketing.

    topical vs injections

    So here is an amateur question I asked my doc because I was feeling bad again on the topicals. He said the idea intrigued him. A thought about topical application. Is it in any way feasible that topical testosterone gets ‘bound' in the lymphatic system and could lead to the elevated...

    Random pain and itching veins

    I just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas... For the past two days I have been having a weird pain almost like someone scratched me hard and a mild itch and it is always over large surface veins. It doesn't last long and it seems to jump around. Left forearm, right bicep, calf muscles...

    I forgot to update the plan, but here is what he has done. Priority 1 - He put her on 20mg (7.5,5,5,2.5) oral HC a day to get her cortisol levels up to a level that will let her function. She is taking pregnenolone and DHEA in an attempt to backfill some hormone levels. Vitamin D 5000 iu sea...

    topical vs injections

    At a minimum go to Goodrx.com and hcg should be around $100 for a 10000 iu vial which should last three months.

    topical vs injections

    So, let me ask if these are symptoms of dose being too low. First two weeks of switch erections got stronger and I felt better. But I did notice more shortness of breath. Now in the third week I have noticed more pronounced shortness of breath on exertion, heart palps, muscles very weak, if I...

    topical vs injections

    Yeah I keep the needles hidden, grab the little box from the fridge and head into the bathroom. Not because of the stigma, but just cause the kids don't need to watch. She would never have to know and your health and we'll being is more important.

    topical vs injections

    It is compounded 10mg per ml. I apply partial to scrotum and the rest elsewhere. This dose is the trial to see how it goes. The line of thinking with my doc is that absorption is much closer to 90% versus 10%. With that said I think men normally produce 7mg a day so a dose of 10 should be...

    topical vs injections

    I am on a compounded cream. My precious dose was 50mg but my doctor is in line with the thinking in this article http://www.zrtlab.com/blog/entry/testosterone-elixir-or-dangerous-drug Therefore, this time we switched me to 10mg a day. For two weeks I have been waking with and getting...

    LH and FSH questions

    Just from experience, HCG had my t levels over 900. I was only on it for about two months solo so I don't know if that would have maintained, but it gave me a boost. I couldn't tell because it didn't have the same feel as trt but my numbers liked it

    25 year old checking in

    I always wonder how valid testing is when docs take you off trt to get baselines. How long were you off before she tested? If you were only off a week or two then your testosterone could have tanked as the exogenous left your system and your LH and FSH were still tanked from being suppressed...

    Eric's Lady's Labs - Pointers please

    Thanks again for the input. He has put her on 5,000iu of Vitamin D but will discuss the rest of the plan next week at her followup. I think he is going to tackle her adrenals first since they are tanked and causing major issues such as plummeting blood pressure and complete lack of energy. I...

    Thanks Chris. She is 35 and had a hysterectomy 6 years ago. She only has one partially functioning ovary left. Obviously without a uterus she has not had a period in years. Her body temperature is always very low. Her blood pressure is usually very low. It is very hard for her to wake up...

    Low energy with compounding cream

    The following is met with much skepticism, but ZRT labs has addressed this issue with tansdermals. I have been on creams too and ran into issues. Keep in mind that natural production is like 7-10mg of testosterone a day. Many people think we do not absorb well from creams but certain folks...

    I know this is a male forum, but I was hoping to maybe get the input of Chris or some others with some good knowledge. We are getting me straightened out and I finally convinced my lady to get a full work up because she has fibro, can't function, can't sleep, can't wake up til noon, etc. Her...

    topical vs injections

    Thanks. I have been back on the cream for about 1.5 weeks now and I have had much more frequent erections and I think some of my water retention has gone down. Time will tell.

    workout formula without Arginine?

    I don't know how lysine compares but it works for me. 20 years ago I was rubbing lysine tablets on the cold sores and they were going away much faster, and then they came out with topical products. Below is from a site Supplements: You can reduce the frequency and severity of oral herpes...

    workout formula without Arginine?

    have you ever tried lysine? I swear it is the only thing that makes mine go away and there is a bunch of research on it. May help if you add that in and wish to keep arginine.

    Getting OFF testosterone questions

    I think the overwhelming consensus would be that at age 46, after having been on for two years, you may not have an easy time restarting especially if you haven't been on hcg all along. Clomid or nolvadex are used to help boost lh and fsh and may help. Research it on this site. There is some...

    Getting OFF testosterone questions

    You inject once a week with a low dose so my first thought is when did you test? Once a week there will still be some highs and lows so if the first time you tested right as the levels peaked and then the second time it was near the end of a injection cycle then maybe that explains the...

    As a note this week I stopped the t injections. I know folks say don't but I have noticed in the past that I felt better when I take a week off. Sure enough this week I have had random erections and felt better. My doc said it may be a form of tachyphylaxis where the receptors get saturated...
