Thanks WillyT - I’ll have a look!

I'm on Natesto (3 applications daily at 6am, 12pm, 6pm) and think it works to increase energy levels, but I have not noticed a libido enhancement. I previously used a combo of HCG + Tlando and did feel libido improved, but I was only on it for a month. This makes me wonder if Natesto is a bit...

I’ve seen bloodwork posted here that shows Enclo+HCG can maintain LH/FSH

Thanks Systemlord. That’s good to hear. I kept my trial short as I don’t think it helped much

I did HCG mono therapy, see this thread: HCG Monotherapy experience (just sharing)

Prior to HCG monotherapy baseline: Total T ~350ng/dL SHBG ~17 nmol/L Estrodial ~25 pg/ml Free T ~13pg/mL. I was prescribed HCG 3x per week at 300 units each day. Results: Total T 326ng/dl SHBG 11 nmol/L Estrodial ~25 pg/ml Free T ~20pg/mL I should note that LH/FSH were 7/2 respectively before...

This makes me think Natesto/Troches are an interesting methodology as it may provide symptom relief and delay cognitive function degradation via peripheral LH downregulation. As to what they’ve done recently: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0083672920300534?dgcid=rss_sd_all

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4741372/ In the paper linked they note that high levels of peripheral LH correlate negatively with brain LH (see below). I don't understand why that would be the case - can someone elucidate? Also worth noting - this paper seems to indicate there...

I am 36 with total T ranging from 350-400 ng/DL over several tests in the past twelve months. Other relative datapoints: SHBG is low (16.6, reference range: 16.5-55.9), LH at a decent level (6.8, reference range: 1.7-8.6). I told the doctor that I wanted to try Natesto/Troches, but he...

I've added the reference ranges (Labcorp)

My sleep is the same (per oura ring) with or without Ritalin. 8 hours of pretty decent quality per night. Will add reference ranges - but why does it matter? 400 ng/dL is the same regardless of what the lab considers to be a benchmark right?

Background: 36yo male. Low T symptoms such as low libido, fat accumulation in belly, and difficulty recovering from workouts. I should note that I am not overweight and lift weights regularly. What I mean to highlight here is that I've always had an easy time remaining lean and that's...
