As a matter of fact I've been suffering from chronic fatigue for a few years. I also drink about 1.5 gallon of water everyday. It just feels good to drink water. What do these have to do with each other? A couple of months ago I visited ER for a "near syncope". (My blood pressure spikes when I...

LOL good advice. Forgive my ignorance, what's UGL?

I gave TRT a thorough thought before embarking on it. Whether it would be helpful to me, its side effects, whether I could increase my levels to a satisfactory level naturally. The main benefits of TRT for me have been increased confidence, determination and energy. Without it my T levels will...

I was on propionate for a year till I got tired of it so talked to my doctor and now my protocol is Cypionate 32mg EOD plus 300IU of HCG once a week. Doctor suggested EOD to keep my levels stable because I'm not using much HCG now. I wonder if this is really necessary. Twice a week is more...

It boggles my mind how low my level was just 24 hours after injecting 16mg of prop. As a member demonstrated in another thread, your levels would be stable if you inject prop ED. Will be talking to my doctor soon.

My baseline BP is normal but it can go up after drinking tea/coffee or after a meal. I stopped coffee and am going to stop drinking tea as well (tough one!) It seems I benefit from taking a BP normalizing agent. My question is choosing between tadalafil and citrulin. Citruling is cheap and...

24 hours after, right before the next injection.

16mg of propionate daily. I reduced HCG dose to 500 IU every other week to decrease my E2. FT 6.8 in 8.7-25.1 DHT 32 in 30-85 DHEA-S 208.7 in 102.6-416.3 TSH 1.3 in .45-4.5 E2 10.5 in 8-35 SHBG 28.4 in 16.5-55.9 So I was successful in bringing my E2 down after all haha. Moral of the story...

Good idea. I'll try this for a couple of weeks. But as a forum member showed in another thread, doing propionate EOD causes your exogenous T to drop significantly in the second day. So ED would be a better idea when not doing HCG and lowers E2 further as well.

Yes bro, corrected it.

I stopped taking it. It made me so tired. Since I already have chronic fatigue, a better indication is to look at how I did at work and my hobbies. Well, I missed a couple of weeks of BJJ class and took 3 days off from work in the 3-4 weeks I was taking it. Not good. HOWEVER my libido came back...

Yeah I'm doing 0.25 mg EOD in the morning plus 300 IU of HCG twice a week.

I seem to be getting acne after taking AI. Can it be that my DHT increases?

Guys like me who take HCG are suppressed. What software did you use for summing the curves by the way?

Or possibly injecting prop every 36 hours. Thanks for sharing. Did you use the plot for total T or the exogenous T? (The latter is not important IMO.)

This is very interesting and may suggest that injecting EOD is a better option. Coincidentally that's what I just started doing, again.

I'm not sure if I can continue with it. I feel much more fatigued than I usually do. I just remembered that my E2 was in the 20s in january and that was because I was skimping on HCG (injecting either once a week or every other week). I may go back to that regimen. I'm on Propionate as a matter...

My ferritin was at the top too but I'll get a full thyroid and iron panel next time. One question for me is which one of thyroid or adrenals are more fundamental. I mean which one should be treated first. My doctor suggested I take A-drenal capsules but it has ingredients that make me feel bad...

Guys now after the second dose I'm feeling better. Have more energy and determination even though my insomnia has got worse. I also ruminate about the past less and get less emotional. I hope this is not placebo effect. I'll continue with the AI for a while. I think I should lower my T dose now...

It's more of an experiment to see how I'd feel if I bring my E2 down to 20s as I've not got much from TRT (other than increased confidence). My sleep in general is not good (terminal insomnia) and the fatigue I reported was on top of that. I know E2 is useful for male body but mine has increased...

What brand of beef liver capsules do you use?

Today I'm feeling better. Yesterday I felt depressed too but not today.

Means their E2 goes down too much even by a small dose of the medicine.

No pain but today they felt dry when working with computer.

I took my first dose of 0.125mg yesterday and now it's like I've run a marathon. Have you guys had similar reactions? Does it stop after a while or is it persistent? I'm guessing the reason is that it can reduce red blood cell count and I, for genetic reasons, have low hemoglobin.

Yeah my THS looks too low and as I said it has decreased since I went on TRT. And rT3 looks evelated too. But then what? I've read that high E2 can cause hypothyroidism. My E2 has almost tripled since going on TRT. I'm gonna see a local endocrinologist. I don't trust my TRT clinic with my...

I don't feel well. My iron level is near the top of the normal range. My salivary cortisol is suboptimal but my ACTH was 33.3 in 7.2-63.3. I did ACTH stimulation test too.

It was 30mg of desiccated thyroid. Now that I think about it my thyroglobulin antibody looks suspicious. I mean <1 can mean anything.

I agree that "in range" doesn't mean much. I did the full panel in the summer and January. Here is the latter: Last year around this time doctor prescribed me Armour which was helpful but made me anxious and irritable as well. This time he suggested I take Synthroid but I'm hesitant as it...

fT3 2.92 in 2-4.4 THS 1.18 in 0.27-4.2 Interestingly before going on TRT my THS was 2.25 in 0.358-3.74. I got a body thermometer and it measured 96.6 at this time (noon) which is considered low. I read that low body temperature means that your body does not produce enough energy and...
