    Testosterone injection frequency and it’s effect on hematocrit

    I really couldn’t tell much of a difference between twice a week vs every day injections. Although I did go from 150mg split into two injections to 28mg everyday (196mg a week) and the only benefit I noticed was a slight increase in strength in the gym.

    Testosterone injection frequency and it’s effect on hematocrit

    Thanks for the very informative post! My doctor doesn’t always check SHBG but the last time it was checked (3/12/2018) it was at 19.5 nmol/L Ref range: 16.5-55.9 nmol/L

    Testosterone injection frequency and it’s effect on hematocrit

    Hello everyone, I’ve been on TRT for over a year now and I’ve had some trouble with my hematocrit and RBCs getting too high. I’ve had to donate blood about 3 times and every time I do my ferritin drops pretty dramatically. I’d like to avoid donating blood so frequently or at least because I...

    Success with TRT and Thyroid medication

    Here are my labs from being off meds for 4+ months only T and anastrozole were used. Despite my free thyroid hormones looking good I definitely felt fatigue combined with cold hands and feet. I’ve been on thyroid meds (NDT) since 12/01/18 so, I’ll be getting blood work on 1/08/19 to see where...

    Success with TRT and Thyroid medication

    Hello everyone, I’ve been on TRT on and off for about a year now, and the one issue that I’ve had before TRT and during TRT is lack of energy. Prior to starting TRT there were two issues that I had with my blood work. Below normal testosterone and high TSH. With further testing I found out that...

    HCG protocol

    Hey everyone, I’ve been on TRT since August 2017 until April 2018, I’m only 25 and would really like to try and get my T levels back up so I don’t need to inject. After my last injection of testosterone cypionate (April 28th) I waited two weeks before starting clomid. I used clomid for 4 weeks...

    Does arimidex negatively impact one’s lipid profile?

    Hey everyone, I have seen studies showing that arimidex has negative effects on one’s lipid profiles. My question is, does arimidex directly effect your lipid profile or does it indirectly effect your lipid profile by potentially lowering estradiol outside of a healthy range? For example, if...

    First Test C + HCG Dosage Input

    That’s absurd, the Mayo Clinic reference range is 300-1,200 ng/dL. 1200 is still within what can be natural for a “young healthy male”.

    Any good thyroid specialist/endocrinologist in the Northern Virginia/ D.C. area?

    Hey everyone, I'm currently on TRT through my urologist but since I was diagnosed with hashimotos my urologist recommended that I get treated for my relatively high TSH 3.3 and 5.3 (reference range is 0.5-4.5) tested months apart and my thyroid antibodies being elevated. Could anyone point me...

    Weird blood results

    So last Wednesday I took my very first shot for TRT but I also was required to do bloodwork two days afterwards. I'm on TRT through the guidance of my urologist but I'm also under the care of an endocrinologist. My endocrinologist was the one who wanted bloodwork but was unaware that I would...

    Concern about long term HCG and potential permanent down regulation of FH and LSH

    Thanks everyone, I definitely feel a lot better about using hcg. I agree, I've actually just looked up Dylan Gemelli on google and there seems to be a lot of hate on the guy on various forums.

    Concern about long term HCG and potential permanent down regulation of FH and LSH

    I'm 24 and have had my T levels tested 3 times in the last 3 months and my levels have consistently come back low. The highest test level was 350 and the other times have been mid 200s. I live in the Washington DC area and its pretty difficult to find any knowledgeable Dr's in the area. About...

    I have actually been on the protocol as of 8/30, basically since yesterday lol. I feel ok so far, felt a little bit more "awake" then usual yesterday. Today is my second day and don't really feel too different but I've read that most people don't start noticing the benefits until a few weeks in.
