Her major concern is time. She is 35 1/2 and feels like time is running out to have a second. I agree on that bc I don't want her to be overly damaged (her first pregnancy was perfect and not even a stitch). That's where this is mostly coming from... but I agree it needs to be handled. Once...

My guess is also the nandrolone. My wife is up my ass on this. She thinks it was selfish and a bad idea for me to "feel better" when I knew we weren't done having kids. She views this as some vanity project while not hearing I used to need 10 hours of sleep to recover from a bike ride and now...

Actually one more lab just came in and it was my DHEA Serum. It was at the bottom of the range at 2.6 which could be influencing my libido. At this point HRT is becoming such a hassle. I have more energy and 20+ pounds of extra muscle, but libido hit or miss most of the time, upstream...

I'm assuming LH and FSH are zero and have been for a long time bc I'm on TRT. No reason to test for it. The clomid therapy would start after my injected testosterone clears my system. As for SHBG this is the first time I had it tested but every pre TRT my free T percentage was over 3. Every...

I went to see my urologist last night. His recommendation is clomid. I asked him to prescribe FSH in addition to boosting my HCG dose and he said it was out of his expertise but would defer to another urologist he works with who is better versed in fertility. While I was there I got bloodwork...

Then there are only 3 rational explanations for my situation 1) HCG dosage is ALL or NOTHING for me... in that study even the guys at 125iu maintained ITT at 25% below baseline. We don't know if that's enough to maintain spermatogenesis BUT I have ZERO... not 1/2/3/5 mln sperm... ZERO. And I...

I noticed that you added FSH... you've been on HRT for 4+ years? How often are you getting a semen analysis? I recently had one done using more HCG than you per week and have zero count after 1.5 years on TRT+HCG. I was fertile just before.

According to that study 250iu 2X per week should be enough to maintain at least some level of spermatogenesis... 7% below baseline should be enough to maintain SOMETHING. I may be one of the unlucky ones, but you have to remember that at least from what I have seen 250iu 2X per week is the...

My protocol varied between 250iu once per week to 300iu twice per week. The majority of my time spent on TRT was at 250iu e3.5D. I thought I preferred 250iu once per week but now I really don't know for sure. One thing I neglected to add was that I finished an 8 week Deca 140mg weekly run (my...

It would appear that I'm completely infertile with zero viable sperm. What's amazing is that the clinic I started with told me that I could maintain fertility using HCG. Maybe it was a sneaky way of saying it would be helpful if I ever come off or just a sales tactic. Now it's time to decide...

How soon after the last tect cyp inject do I start the protocol?

I am getting results of a semen analysis and if they are poor, I'm contemplating doing the following after talking to my doctor as one of my options. When would one start this protocol? How long after the last test cyp injections? The protocol for HPTA normalization contains (edited on Dec...

Thanks. Yes I will share the results here.

When your sperm count was zero were you using HCg in addition to your TRT protocol? Bc that may be a rather big difference between our situations.

how long were you on TRT and what was your protocol?

Started TRT/HRT 1.5 years ago. Have been on either 250iu/300iu HCG once or twice per week nearly the whole time outside of a few weeks in the beginning. Seem to feel best on 250iu HCG once per week on Wednesday mng and that's what I'm doing now. Monday mng 80mg test cyp/80mg Thur evening...

You may not even be infertile. Go to a urologist and get a semen analysis or just start pulling the goalie. My guess is you are probably still fertile.

What labs? And what objective benefits out of curiousity?

I watched a youtube video done by a guy I respect a lot (Virtuous Steve) and he claimed that HCG Leydig cell desensitization is real and HCG shouldn't be used year round to backfill DHEA and Pregnenolone, but supplementing w/pills is a better solution. 25mg DHEA/10mg Preg. I began TRT in...

SO on 100mg per week SubQ, the average man should be at 1000ng/dl total test by week 6? Am I reading that correctly? That seems awfully high for a multiplier.

Why is it pointless? It was just a total testosterone test. It told me 2 things... my compounded testosterone is most likely at least label dosed and probably spot on(you may snicker at this but someone new to this who has only really used human grade foreign pharmaceuticals in ampules isn't...

This may be more correct than I initially thought. 10 years ago if you told me there was a forum of men experiencing all sorts of issues on 100-200mg of test I would not have believed it. I would have thought you were crazy... but it seems the older we get, the more affected we are by small...

That was your advice. Other guys said to skip a dose and then drop the dose. I'm not really sure whose advice is actually considered "solid" but I do know that I was able to sleep by skipping a dose then lowering it.

When I started doing research on TRT it seemed as if 200mg was the starting dose. Most of the initial information I got on the subject was watching Dr. Rand videos on Jay Cutler's youtube. Another clinic I talked to was a starting dose of 200. My clinic happened to be 160. I'm sleeping fine...

I began on 160-170 mg per week (I have 210 test CYP and was prescribed .4ML 2X per week). I did this for week 1 and week 2 but couldn't sleep. Some guys here suggested I skip a dose then lower the dose going fwd. I skipped 1 of the doses in week 3 and then went to .35 ML for the second shot...

I have heard that some blood tests confuse nandrolone specifically for testosterone. Has anyone experienced this issue with either primobolan or nandrolone added to their HRT and if so is there a specific type of testosterone blood test that avoids this issue?

Just curious if anyone has used their products? I have their 210mg Cyp... first time I have ever seen Tcyp 210, but it is what it is. The injections are pretty smooth IMO.

An update on this, I did skip my scheduled Tuesday injection of 85mg life like @fifty suggested and last night (Wednesday into Thursday) morning I had my best sleep I have had since starting. I woke up a couple of times, but it was pretty good sleep. I'm going to drop down the dose and go from...

I'm 39 in July. My last total test was done before noon and it was sub 350ng/dl. My free test was in the mid single digits. About 6 years ago I did a month of clomid after showing a study to my urologist and it there was no change in my testosterone level. Along the way I had a test show...

The reason I wanted a to know about blood testing so early was to figure out if there is a chance my testosterone is overdosed. I'm only 2 weeks in man. I doubt it is but it is my first experience with a compounding pharmacy. Google "TRT compounding pharmacies" and it will make one a bit...

I haven't touched steroids since 2012. So I was 5 years removed from any exogenous androgen use when I had my first panic attack. I had a yearly testosterone test once I stopped and my levels were consistently 300-350ng/dl TT, so my HPTA was definitely working.
