Interesting. I generally steer clear of supplements these days but will try anything for sleep lol

If you had strong libido at your natural T levels, why are you taking Natesto? Is the modest gym bump worth losing your natural libido? Many of us jump onto TRT train in hope of regaining lost libido. But unfortunately, TRT is no miracle cure for that

Unfortunately I've been experiencing the same recently despite having lowered the dose weeks ago. It seems like reduced dose definitely helps minimize the worst of it, but something else it going on. I've been investigating the role of histamine in early AM awakenings.

So dropping to from 10mg to 8.5mg daily got rid of your early morning wakeups, moodiness, etc.? I ask because I've found that even 1mg more or less can make subjective difference on daily basis.

I tried doing the same with T cream. It was a major fail as it shut down my natural T (unlike nasal gel/cream which is more short-lived with minimal suppression as mentioned above)

You made your point known in the other thread. The TRT industry is a business like any other. Educate yourself, experiment, analyze and then move on if its not for you.

I agree with you on many points having the learned the hard way over the last several years that TRT is not the panacea promised by the low T marketing machine. I frequently question why I do TRT considering the time and money involved. The biggest disappointment for has been zero...

Thanks for the write-up. Sounds like you are doing well. Always good to hear the success stories. Why not include delts for shallow IM? Quads can be tricky as I'm sure you know by now. On the water retention following injection, have you considered more frequent injections? Smaller...

Interesting you say that because I've had couple drops of blood in when experimenting with 5/16 in delts the last several days, making me wonder how much T was lost. I am nearing conclusion that the 1/2" needles are definitely the way to go for shallow IM. Oh well, that is what experimenting...

Usually around here people reference the gross amount of T including the ester (100mg weekly in your case). However, it is good to know the actual amount of T net of ester (70mg weekly / 10mg daily in your case) when comparing your dose to what a healthy young male produces naturally on a...

Same here. Not much subq tissue to pinch. When flexing deltoid, it feels like thin layer of skin over the muscle so it does seem possible hit the IM. As you say, worst case is subq injection instead of IM. I will keep experimenting for couple of weeks with the 5/16 into delt and report back...

My intention is not to rehash the endless IM versus Subq debate around here. I am merely curious whether a shorter 5/16" needle can be used in deltoid for shallow IM. Most including myself would typically use a minimum of 1/2" for shallow IM. However, I find that 1/2" occasional gives a...

Many of us have had similar problems. In my experience, I often get immediate relief on the early morning wakeups by lowering the dose. It sucks, but it is a balancing act. T versus sleep.

That's good news as I recall you trying bunch of different protocols. What's your TT on that dose?

This thread has effectively cured me of any desire to try PT141!

Yes, I am slightly under 50mg per week now on daily Enan-Prop blend (see post below). Ester type is a big factor though. Daily Prop-only at 56mg per week put me well over top of range when testing at peak (4 hours post-injection)...

I can't speak to the Gonadorelin, but I had same experience on Natesto and Empower nasal gels/creams. Looks great on paper, but nothing for libido. In fairness, I also struck on libido with injectables. There are some great discussions on the forum about dopamine being more important than T...

Poking shallow IM holes into muscle on daily basis is only going to get old fast. While I prefer IM from subjective standpoint, I shifted to Subq for low dose daily for convenience.

There are a number of us dosing around 50mg per week so you would not be alone! Also, after only two weeks, you are probably still feeling effects of original dosing. Like @Belekas mentioned, knock down dose slightly maybe to 8mg per day. If you don't mind EOD, might as well try ED. Just...

Rarely, but I inject small amounts (5 units) of Enan-Prop blend with these insulin needles. One thing that has may have helped me is to inject at 90 degree angle instead of 45 degrees which was giving me more frequent PIP

Just use smaller amount on other areas. As mentioned, inner bicep is a good one. I also found that torso area (near lat) works well since lots of surface area with no hair.

Why not drop the HCG for now and dial-in your cypionate dose? You can always add it back in later

Were you adding cream to get some daily fluctuation? Or to boost DHT?

The irony of Lions Mane causing hair loss... Are taking it as standalone supplement? I've seen it mixed into lots of powder supplements.

I doubt you would notice it much. I just figure to go with smallest needle possible for a life time of injections.

Here is my vote, but I use for daily dosing small amounts (usually around 5 units) injecting subq into belly area. Does not take long at all. But for bigger amounts, you want want larger gauge needle like 29...

Applied to labia? Or anywhere?

What is your daily Cypionate dose? Usual rule of thumb is wait 8 weeks for things to settle down. You can input your protocol in link below to get rough idea of how long it takes to build up and dissipate. https://www.steroidplotter.com/

Like making a cup of coffee every morning

You seem to respond well to Prop if I recall, but maybe ease back into it with 66/33 to avoid those late day Prop crashes

Another vote for Defy Medical.
