In your message that I responded to you wrote just that. This goal can certainly be achieved without supra-physiological levels of 2 or 3 times the normal high level of FT and without disregarding standard medical guidelines. The False prophets who preach to raise FT to such high levels...

Someone high on drugs would probably say the same thing. You are running ft levels three times higher than the high range. You have no idea how high your hematocrit and E2 levels are. You're 34 years old and you seem to live for the moment's pleasure with no thought of what you are doing to your...

Many of us here use ceebis (tadalafil) from Indian pharmacies such as alldaychemist and are most pleased, myself included. They sell 80 pills of 20mg for 73$. Try ordering a pill cutter that has good reviews from Amazon - that should solve the cutting problems. Adc also sells 5mg ceebis for a...

My DHEA-S was low so I began taking two years ago 25mg DHEA twice a day, which noticeably boosted my libido. It also causes my facial skin to be oilier, which is kept in check by a soap that I use. Other than that no issues.

Nebido is a very common TRT protocol in Europe that works well for most people and is certainly not a no-no. Nebido's main benefit is that you get a shot once every 10-12 weeks, vs. two shots a week in a typical Cypionate/Enanthate protocol. Another benefit is that Nebido tends to not raise...

To my knowledge, there are no studies on the long term effects of men who consistently maintain supra-physiological levels of Estradiol due to TRT treatment without Estradiol management. That makes those who follow the anti AI false prophets guinea pigs, good or bad. The established medical...

My experience is that the headaches disappeared after a while once my body got used to it. Try persisting and meanwhile you can take a pain reliever if needed.

I take 5mg tadalafil daily and had back pain and leg muscle pain that disappeared after 2 weeks. You can try taking probiotics to help with loose stools. If things don't improve over time you can try other pde5 inhibitors who have different side effects.

High h/h will drive up your blood pressure and take a long term toll on your heart. You can consider switching to transdermals or nebido as they are not as prone to raising h/h as cypionate/enanthate are. Details in the link below. Hematocrit elevation following testosterone therapy – does it...

I recently asked Dr. Saya from Defy this exact same question and his reply was that Nebido indeed can be used in the way you are intereseted. See the thread in the link below. I would suggest adding 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol if you are going to use it in a multidose vial in order to avoid bacteria...

@eli, T creams are not available where I live and gels aren't recommended for scrotal application. I applied the T gel on my shoulders, upper arms and abdomen. I doubt that even if T creams were available that I would want to drive my DHT so high as often happens with scrotal applications. I...

I was applying 75-100mg T gel daily. I didn't feel good and thought that the problem was psychological until I got tested 22 hours post application and realized that my levels were constantly fluctuating up and down like a mad seesaw. Twice a day application was not practical for me as I need...

Transdermals pose a problem for low SHBG guys. I have SHBG of 16. I started out TRT with T gel applied daily. When I had blood tests 12 hours after applying the gel my Total T level would be around 800. However when I running blood tests 22 hours after applying the gel my Total T would drop to...

Don't confuse facts with opinion - these are only the baseless opinions from the roundtable folks that you are repeating. It could be you that's been brainwashed.

Dr. Crisler's rule of thumb was that 100mg weekly injection is equivalent to 2 biweekly injections of 40mg. If that doesn't work for you why not use a micro dose of AI? As we discussed on the other thread, there is no study that shows that low dose anastrazole is bad for you. Don't be confused...

I was prescribed oral finestride by my dermatologist some 12 years ago. It killed my libido and erections. I quit it within 2 weeks and fortunately bounced back quickly.

Thank you Dr. Saya!

Dr. Saya, thank you for your response! Nebido comes in 1000mg/4ml dose which is designed to last ten weeks, so if I were to split that up to 20 doses of 50gm each, they be 0.2ml, exactly the same volume as my Testoviron Enanthate 50mg dose that I use biweekly. AFAIK the instructions on all of...

@DragonBits , thank you for your elaborate response. I tried Nebido twice - both times it was completely out of my system within 3 weeks of the injection, i.e. a blood test showed that T levels returned to the (very low) level they were prior to the injection. I have the same problem with...

@DragonBits , thank you for that very informative post about the differences of HCT rises via different Testosterone delivery systems. I live outside the US and I've tried both Nebido and transdermal gel but as I have low SHBG the T gets quickly flushed out of my system. What enables me to...

@dbossa , you were answered earlier in this thread that the normal range of E2 for men was determined by many-many blood tests. The following excerpt is from a study published in 2010: The clinical consequences of higher E2 levels and higher E2:T ratios in older men remain poorly understood...

@dbossa, theoretically anything is possible, we have to use the known data, common sense and weigh the alternatives. Microdosing AI is not preventing the aromatase process but merely moderating it. The purpose of the aromatase is to generate the amount of E2 the male body needs, and from all the...

dbossa, re what is considered in the study as high E2: If you look at Table 2 in this link you can see that men with E2 greater than 86 pg/ml had a risk of 2.47 fold risk of developing breast cancer as compared with men with E2 less than 52 pg/ml. In fact men with E2 between 65-86 pg/ml had a 3...

What I find most dangerous is the current fad promoted by the TOT crowd and their blind followers that it's supposedly healthy to let E2 run as high as you like without being managed at all. We currently don't have many studies on the dangers of high E2 in men, but some studies are already...

In simple English, your article DOES NOT support your claims that AI is toxic and you misunderstood the article completely. The article discusses the effect of elimination of E2 on mice and shows that entirely eliminating E2 in mice either by castration or by administering HUGE doses of AI will...

This thread is now seven pages long without even a single reference that actually supports the claim that AI is supposedly toxic and damaging to health. Thus this claim has not made it to even the initial phase of validation as being true, except for those who follow blindly the baseless claims...

You repeatedly claim that AI use causes lower hdl and higher ldl yet the study you reference states that AI use had no effects on the lipid levels. Quoting from your link: Effect of Anastrozole on Lipid Levels Lipoprotein levels (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) at baseline...

Find in the bottom of this link Dr. Shippen's HCG stimulation protocol that will help you determine if you are primary/secondary without stopping TRT: A Primer on HCG and Dr. Shippen’s HCG Protocol (2 of 8) (hypothalamus depression nail testicular down) – Mombu

I suffer from dry eyes, unrelated to TRT. I use Genteal eye drops 4 times a day and it makes the dryness go away. It's important to use eye drops when you suffer from dry eyes to avoid possible scratches to the cornea. Genteal is available over the counter, no need for prescription. GENTEAL®...

Is the daily hcg regiment of 100-150 Iu protocol that you recommend backed by any published study?

The case study described in the link below suggests that hcg levels that closer mimic the body's self lh levels are generated and sustained over time with higher dosages {500iu} injected 2-3 times a week. According to this study daily hcg low dose of 150iu are not optimal. What is the best...
