    Updated Blood Work After Starting HCG

    I don't agree when it comes to anxiety. I have noticed that when my estradiol is up, my anxiety and mood are bad. So far this has happened several times, it usually happens when I change my injection timing protocol. For example, I recently switched from Tuesday & Saturday injections to Mon &...

    Does anyone use DIM for estrogen management?

    Well I just started doing the 400 mg up from 200 mg because I wanted to see if it would help bring down my estradiol level, it was at a 39 at trough. I don't feel bloated, no nipple sensitivity, but my libido is non existent and my erections are not sustainable. It's either my thyroid or my...

    Does anyone use DIM for estrogen management?

    I have been taking DIM 200 mg since January. In my opinion it does not do what an AI would do. If you need a little bump to get your slightly elevated estradiol down a few points then DIM is the supplement for you, but it won't bring it down 10 or more points. What it has done for me is the...

    Sensitive Estradiol high what to do about i

    You and I have very similar numbers. I am taking 100mg a week, cut into two 50mg injections per week. My Total T is exactly like yours, but your Free T is higher, mine is at 12. My Estradiol sensitive is at 39. My libido stinks and I don't have confidence in my erections though so I thought it...

    Thyroid Panel Test Results...What Kind of Treatment Should I Expect?

    Yes, I've known about the Hashimoto's for months now, but like I said before the doc won't prescribe me anything. So frustrating.

    Thyroid Panel Test Results...What Kind of Treatment Should I Expect?

    Hi all, I've been on here for several months struggling with libido and ED issues. I started TRT in June and been feeling much better, however it has done nothing for my libido. I've also been eating at a caloric deficit, working out 6 days a week and have lost only 5 lbs in one year. My family...

    Cialis or Viagra

    Just curious, if I was to get Ceebis, what is the daily dose, 5mg (a quarter of the pill)? Would I have to take any more when I know I'm going to be having sex?

    Cialis or Viagra

    It could've been anxiety shutting it down. I was trying to self stimulate, but could never get it going. It was so depressing because I thought I could rely on the little blue pill to at least keep an erection, but one never started.

    Anyone knowledgable with HCG mono?

    That's good to hear. It looks like it's actually working for you. Perhaps the low libido and ED I had was because my E2 was high. My final E2 taken was similar to yours. Can I ask how come they didn't treat you with both TRT and HCG at the same time, rather than taking you off T altogether? My...

    Anyone knowledgable with HCG mono?

    I started HCG monotherapy earlier this year. My reason for starting was to increase my lower than normal testosterone numbers since libido was a huge issue for me. My endo chose HCG monotherapy because my wife and I are currently trying to conceive and being on testosterone wouldn't have worked...

    Cialis or Viagra

    Yes, I want to use All Day Chemist, but I'm just worried about the legality of ordering these medicines from out of country. Hopefully it's okay.

    Cialis or Viagra

    Cialis or Viagra

    I've heard of Revatio. I was going to ask my prescriber to get me these since my insurance doesn't ask Viagra, but I asked her to fill it at Empower, a compounding pharmacy in Texas. Strangely, she called it in last week, but they still haven't called me.

    Cialis or Viagra

    I'm assuming that when you say it works better on an empty stomach, you're meaning that you shouldn't eat right before. Obviously you can't starve yourself all day just so you can use Viagra. The last time I tried the 50mg tablet it did nothing for me, it was weird. I hadn't eaten for a while...

    Cialis or Viagra

    Hi guys, Since I've had ED problems for the last year I was wondering which drug do you find to be more effective. I've tried Viagra before, the last time it didn't work, but I think that's because I had gone cold turkey off of my HCG Monotherapy due to insurance and all my hormones were way...

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    I totally agree with this and I know for a fact that my BF% is really high. This definitely exarcebates the problem. However it's not for a lack of trying. I have been in the gym 6 days a week for more than a year doing a combination of strength training and cardio along with maintaining a...

    Injection Frequency, what do you recommend?

    Should I wait till my consult in 2 weeks or is this change in injection frequency not that much of a biggie? Will the change be hard to deal with like my dosage change? If I do switch to Mon/Wed/Fri I'm going to definitely have to change my needle gauge. Currently hurting using 25g, 1 inch needle.

    Reading Testosterone Injection Dosage

    Well if this is true then I was actually injecting a totally different dose than I thought I was in my first protocol. I was prescribed .75ml's per week which I was assuming was 175mg of testosterone cypionate (strength was 200ml/1L) using a 5 liter syringe. If your math is right then I was...

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    Yes, it's a very complex thing to nail down. With TRT I no longer have anxiety so I can't say my libido issues are linked to that. I also now take Super Cortisol support which has been helping. My prolactin is not high and I don't have any psychological problem. I have no idea about dopamine...

    Injection Frequency, what do you recommend?

    Hi guys, I'm trying to get estradiol to come down a bit and hopefully stabilize levels some. I've noticed recently that my libido goes up slightly right before injection so I'm wondering if it's because my estradiol level. Right now I'm injecting 2x per week. After 6 weeks of this protocol I...

    Prescribe high arimidex dose...help!

    This is really interesting. It really makes me think twice about using an AI. I'm at a 39 E2 sensitive level. Perhaps I should find another way to lower it.

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    I have to find hope. TRT has been good to me in every other area. Perhaps I'm not wired to be a sexual beast, but I need to have a working libido. 5-6 times per year is a joke and a huge strain on my marriage.

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    I'm pretty sure the estradiol went down more because of the huge drop in dosage, but I do think switching to 3x per week would help it come down a little bit more. I'm reluctant to change the protocol until I've spoken to a doctor, but is changing the frequency considered a protocol change?

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    Mark, do you have a good working libido even with this E2 level? Did you have libido issues before TRT like myself? Do you take any supplements to control it?

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    I'm wondering why AI's turn off a lot of people. It seems like for a guy like me with high BF %, it might help get my estradiol down while increasing my libido without having to go down further in my protocol.

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    Yes, I believe the body fat will come off once the doctors at Defy can get my thyroid optimized. I've been at it for a year with no success. Saw an endocrinologist who diagnosed me with Hashimoto's, but my numbers were still low normal so she couldn't prescribe me anything. I was also using her...

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    I think the most I would want to inject is 3x per week. Every day would be too much. My injections right now hurt enough and that's just 2x per week. I may use a higher gauge to see how that feels. My main thing though is that I've been taking this DIM for almost a year. I think they work more...

    I've got plenty of belly fat and love handle to inject to, but the thought of it is kind of scary. I feel like I'll feel it more that way.

    How Do you Control your Estradiol Levels?

    Hi guys, I'm wondering how you guys keep your estradiol levels in a good range. Even before TRT I had higher than normal estradiol levels, probably due to my weight and high body fat. I'm 42 years old, 5'7 and 263 lbs, even with working out 6 times a week and maintaining a healthy caloric...
