Yes, I would love to hear why all of sudden he wants to drop the dose.

I don't personally know anyone who has used it yet, but this doc has had a lot of success with it: Dose is 1mg subQ before bed i believe.

For shoulders there's no reason to even be using a 25 gauge anymore. You can pin with a 27g-1/2" on the way down to 28,29 or 30 gauge insulin syringes. Then there's no real issue/worry about scarring.

Would love to know people's general experience with them as well.

Might help to ask your doc about Pregnenolone. Doesn't work for everybody but certainly would be an option for you to try out.

Your SHBG dropped quite a bit. How are you feeling after these latest labs??

What could you possibly take that would abnormally enhance your performance for Bridge???

Like Systemlord has said, there's lots of room here to try various things. You might do just fine with Test + hCG........or you might not. Is maintaining fertility an absolute must for you? That will factor in. Same with SubQ. I happen to love it and it works very well for me. For Systemlord...

Gotcha. That is unusual.

Any chance you were super de-hydrated? It's odd that you've been on TRT for awhile, should have stabilized by now and then had this one anomaly.....

So is he suggesting, as others I follow have, the possibly donating 1-2 times a year is good for dumping excess iron?

NDT is dose in grains/mg I believe. So 15 mg is 1/4 grain, 30 mg is 1/2 grain, 60 mg is 1 grain, etc.... 1 grain has 38mcg of T4 and 9mcg of T3 from what I remember.

What was the summation of the podcast? Can you give us a brief snapshot?

So would you not recommend Tesamorelin for the run of the mill TRT patient?

Honestly when I started NDT, I was given 1/2 grain pills and told to titrate up to that dose. I did about a week at 1/2 grain twice a day, then about a week at 1gr AM, 1/2 gr PM, and then finally 1gr AM 1gr PM. Anything higher and I started to get heart palps, etc... and knew that I had reached...

1 grain twice daily is pretty standard. If that's too much you could always back off to half a grain twice daily and work back up to 2 grains. Depends on the individual.

That was the best explanation of Ipamorelin I've heard/read. Thanks for posting that Nelson. Do you have something similar you could post for Tesamorelin?

Once I got to twice a week injections, my HCT stabilized and never has been above 49 since. I still donate twice a year but have no medical necessity for it. Reducing the dose and increasing the frequency seems to really help most guys in this area.

How are you feeling with those numbers compared with the test results before? Hard to imagine that your Total and Free T doubled...........?

I think Dr. Khera briefly addresses this in the last 4-5 minutes of this presentation from what I remember. He at the minimum addressed the 2 esters.

That's an interesting question. For the guys that are juicing and cycling, I've always wondered if they have been constantly lowering their E2 levels far too much, looking for a sweet spot when their T levels are 3-5 times the supposed sweet spot for the optimal T levels. Juicing in and of...

What made you want to switch? Just curious and how are you doing on this current protocol?

Did you have Free T tested? I didn't see that in your link. I'd also take a look at thyroid. Need to be able to consider and/or rule out anything and everything.

Like Gman said I'd take a look at thyroid first. Definitely room for improvement.

Not that I disagree (not an AI user myself), but how on earth would we know it's a fact if someone didn't study it...................?

What was the amount and frequency of the AI used in that study?

I see no reason for concern. Seems that form of T therapy seems to be the best for you.

Topicals are daily application so that wouldn't really be an option for you. It seems to be working for you so if it ain't broke..........

I personally take 25mg in the morning everyday but you're going to get a variety of opinions on DHEA, that's for sure. If you're not symptomatic or having any problems whatsoever I'm hesitant to suggest changing anything...........it's just unusual in my own personal opinion to see DHEA dosed...

I believe DHEA only has a 12 hour half life so I'm curious as to why your doctor would only have you take it twice per week. A much smaller daily dose would be more appropriate IMO. Looks like you had labs right after the last time you took a DHEA dose as well I'm assuming.

I doubt there's any reason to have concern since it sounds like you're not having any issues, but just out of curiosity, how much DHEA are you taking daily? And I can't imagine a need to be concerned about your SHBG, especially if you're dialed in which it sounds like you are (congrats on that...
