    topical vs injections

    I catch little glimpses of folks saying there are some clear benefits to topical daily so I wanted to see thoughts. Ignoring the things like transference or convenience and focusing on strictly HOW YOU FEEL , what do you think wins out? Personally I don't feel great on injections. Perhaps I...

    5 Weeks on TRT-- Concerned My Numbers are Too High!

    Make sure you are taking your vitamin D with fats. If you are like many people who take stuff at bedtime or in the morning on an empty stomach then you may not absorb it well. Do that before bumping your dose.

    5 Weeks on TRT-- Concerned My Numbers are Too High!

    My doc also likes to see Vitamin D in the upper range or at least 60-80. He feels that is the optimum area for well being and health. Do you supplement Vitamin D?

    all labs seem fine but lost sexual desire and a few other things over night

    With that sleep schedule sex is the last thing I would be capable of. Or even want to be capable of.

    all labs seem fine but lost sexual desire and a few other things over night

    I go through random bouts of this too. I will be on top of the world, change nothing, and then have a week or so where things feel smaller, don't respond to cialis, no desire at all. Would love to know what is happening there.

    Reputable Online supplier of HCG

    You sure he is right? I had a doctor saying he wouldn't do it because of the whole hcg diet thing, but my next doctor did. Perhaps he is just misinformed? I could be completely wrong but I would make sure he isn't.

    Just started testosterone and have a few questions

    I will let others post more in depth but that dose may be a little high for TRT. Works out to about 200mg a week. Most start at 100. On 75mg my levels are just over the top end of the range so I am at 60mg/week. I would recommend starting low (around 100/week) and move up if need be. More...

    I will have to look up the circadian t3 method. I think mine is sluggish too. In the meantime I am dropping my T dose to 60mg per week. If I am over 1000 on 75 I think a little less will be more.

    Here is all they said when I inquired "Unfortunately Isocort was discontinued last May after the owner of the company did a product review. Please consult with your practitioner for suggestions on alternative products."

    Chris I saw that too. I have enough to last me a month or so but after that I don't know what I'm gonna do!

    Thanks Nelson. I think I will decrease because I seem to feel better at a slightly lower level. Also, perhaps it will keep my H&H down. Last time I felt good when I was on 60mg a week, but I bumped it to 75mg to see if that would work. I don't think I handle more T well for some reason! I...

    Nelson, I currently only inject 75mg a week, so how would going to 100 decrease my levels? Just curious in case I am missing something. I do have a surge in stuffiness a few hours after taking it bit it seems to clear by bedtime but perhaps there is enough residual stuffiness to cause the...

    Subcutanous shots in back of upper arm

    Wild ass guess but I would say it is IM. Nelson talks about giving himself his shots with an insulin syringe in the thigh, and because he is lean it is IM or shallow IM. I just pinched my tricep and I am not skinny but I don't feel a bit of fat there. Feels like skin and muscle to me.

    Strange buzz in men's prostates due to prostatitis

    I have had that in the past and figured it was just a muscle spasm and in no way connected it to other symptoms at the time. There were times I jumped because I thought my cell phone was there somehow. Good to know this is what it was!

    A possible option for those who are struggling to find a TRT specialist.

    Your testes make a bunch more than just testosterone, yet when you take testosterone it shuts down everything. By taking hcg not only do you help keep your testes functional in case you ever need to come off, but you keep them producing other hormones. Some people feel great on just...

    Test Results Analysis

    I may be wrong but looks like you are converting a good bit to DHT. Where do you apply on your body? Perhaps the heavy conversion to dht is why you t levels seem to say you don't absorb well.

    TRT & Libido

    It's not that critical. Pick two days that work best for you fairly evenly spread apart. Ie Monday and Thursday. Due to the Half-Life you will have steady levels .

    Just a little update in case anyone has any pointers or thoughts.... Snoring. The past couple of weeks have driven people mad and my sleep has sucked. I have always sporadically snored some, but evidently this is window rattling all night long. My weight is consistent so I don't know...

    clomid and moods

    Most likely. Clomid as low as 12.5 a day made me cry every night, wild mood swings, etc.

    Clomiphene is making me awful

    another problem can be that clomid exerts estrogenic effects on the body and many people feel awful on it and don't realize the benefits until they come off. That is if the restart actually sticks. I know I felt awful while I was taking it. Good luck

    What would you do

    I use isocort which is a plant based cortisol extract. Small dose in the morning to bring up my am cortisol and then a tiny dose at night to nudge my levels that were too low there. Seems to have really helped me although I am not sure if Chris or anyone has better ideas for it. My doctor...

    My new Labs and need help....

    I think DHT is the answer. Higher conversion to DHT from topicals and they say DHT is what often makes you feel good and good libido. I put a dab on my scrotum every once in a while and it really boosts it. I have a compounded cream.

    test & free test results

    I highly doubt you would get a script, or want one for that matter!! Your levels are pretty good . If you have symptoms then perhaps it is something else going on either with other hormones or just life. Personally I would not mess up good levels by going on a lifetime commitment of trt

    Niacin and Cholesterol

    I usually only take about 125mg because of the flush. Tonight I forgot and took the whole pill. Holy hell. Flush is like saying being gutshot is a flesh wound lol. Pure hell for the last 45 minutes!! That dose of aspirin did squat.
