He ordered exactly that.

I found this plot taken from a research paper. I know that your levels depend on a number of things but if we take this plot as a model, your level peaks about 12 hours after injection and stays high for 12 hours more. But then it drops fast. Given this injecting at night may be a better idea...

First I was talking about 'sublingual' DHEA, and the no, a scientist doesn't say "I did X and Y happened so X must cause Y". He has to rule out other possible causes, even random variation. I assume ZRT lab folks know what they are talking about. But why should I care, you can believe in...

I thought it would be obvious but here is a possible scenario: you take sublingual DHEA, it is not sulfated but the increase in DHEA makes your body convert more of its own to DHEA-S. There are more possible scenarios which I leave to you to think. The nonconversion part is from here: The...

Why confused? I'm obviously assuming he is one of those guys who answers without paying enough attention to the post (cause he didn't confirm the first question). Not meaning to be rude of course! Anyways, how can one be sure that their sublingual dhea is converted to DHEA-S? Many other...

That sounds very good, and your doctor is probably right as when I take DHEA my libido increases. (Currently am at 269 in 102-416) Only if I could handle the side effects (acne and increased facial hair).

What is "it" and how do you know that it is "it" that converts

Has anyone tried sublingual DHEA? I read somewhere that it is not converted to DHEA-S and so crosses the BBB easily.

Mine is 55 in a 30 to 85 range, This may sound alright but remember guys whose DHT is bottom-normal are likely the ones whose TT is bottom-normal like 300. (I mean you can't really trust the normal range for something like this.) I'm thinking maybe supoptimal DHT is the cause of my low libido.

I must have done something wrong recently as my T level has dropped and I feel so bad. I've put on weight too. Apart from supplements what has changed is 1-Injecting everyday 2-Using 28g instead of the usual 25g Dr told me injecting ED gives you smaller peaks compared to EOD (because you're...

For now I'll inject 0.15 ml at night. Will talk to doc next week.

Now I'm thinking it's probably because I inject in the morning so when measured 24 hours after the injection its level had dropped.

Yeah it was cypionate before September 2018 and only 90 mg a week. My current T level is basically the same as before TRT. :mad: Does it matter that I had the flu when I did the test?

I introduces myself here and here. Here are my new labs after a few months of using Propionate, 0.125 ml (12.5mg) a day. How come my T levels dropped so much? Vitamin D increased from 25 but still needs more work. My DHT doesn't look high so I don't understand why I keep getting new...

Thanks. My cortisol is indeed low. What are the options for oxygen?

I keep waking up in the middle of the night and a sleep study costs $700 AFTER INSURANCE where I live. A CPAP can be bought for cheaper. I did a home oxymetry and it showed no apnea but I have a genetic disorder which makes my body oxygen deficient. Any suggestions on where to buy one...

I'll try doing it once a week and will report back.

It's an extra nuisance and it's more expensive than testosterone. What about injecting once a week?

I ordered 100 30g and 100 28g (for propionate) from OCT for the total of $35. Better than what I get from Defy.

Isn't that for cypionate? I've noticed that I feel so tired when I wake up in the morning. Can it be because I inject in the morning everyday and my levels may be low after 24 hours?

When do your T levels peak if you inject in the early morning?

Did it with an insulin syringe. Yesterday in my glute and today in my leg. Was a pain to get it into the syringe.

I'm not sure. Look at the diagram on page 2 of https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(03)03012-7/pdf I believe it depends on your natural levels too. Mine are not bad as you can see. I may try topical DHEA too.

No I didn't do the skin test.

This exists for a lof of supplements. I know folks who take 14000 IU of vitamin D daily but I myself take only 2000. Always start small!

Dr Saya first advised me to take it for my insomnia. 25mg every night. It seemed to make my insomnia worse and give me heart palpitations so I stopped after a week. However I noticed a huge increase in libido and also an increase in my facial hair. This week I started taking it again to address...

Pregnenolone can convert to cortisol but DHEA cannot. So the former is better if you have low cortisol. I've tried them both at 10mg in the morning. Pregnenolone makes me angry and depressed so I stopped taking it.

I had a blood work and my iodine level was near the bottom of the normal range. I also had high rT3. I got 2% Luggol's and am not sure how much to take. Last week I took 4 drops on my skin and I got diarrhea. I'm thinking one or two drops should be enough per week. On the internet some...

It's grapeseed for me. Will try it tomorrow morning. Although morning vs evening is another question. Seems if I inject in the morning my levels would peak during the day whereas if I do it in the evening it would happen when I'm asleep. (Not to mention I'm usually dead tired in the evening.)

Shallow IM, interesting. Should give it a try. Have only 30g at home.
