    Where do you feel your best?

    JBruce - one of the reasons I put this out there. It seems like guys think they need to shoot for the stars and expect miracles if they can push the upper limits of normal, when in truth they may feel much better at a lower dose. But hey - we are guys, so if a little is good then a ton must be...

    Article: PCT post Testosterone Therapy

    If you are going to go back on TRT after the PCT, then why not just use some HCG and then keep it up as you use test? If you just want to restore your testes then HCG will do that and I imagine you could just do a slightly higher dose for a few weeks and then do a maintenance dose along with...

    Under the skin testosterone injection pain and redness

    I use the 1/2 inch needle. I assume grapeseed oil would be something I would have to get compounded as the pharmacies have told me that the oils listed are the only ones they can get. Thanks for all the help.

    Under the skin testosterone injection pain and redness

    No aspirating. It is worse when I get outside the 5 inch circle around the navel. Love handles are really bad.

    Under the skin testosterone injection pain and redness

    Watson T Cyp has Benzyl Benzoate 20%, Benzyl Alcohol 0.9%, and Cottonseed Oil Watson T Enan has Chlorobutanol 0.5% and Sesame Oil Both cause the same thing despite only having testosterone in common. I wonder if there is something with oils and too small of a needle or something else.......

    Where do you feel your best?

    All very true. I think I was always in the 400s if I recall a lab test right from my 20s. Personally I inject three times a week just to try and minimize volume because the more I inject the more painful and itching the lump is that remains. Like I said I felt better at 60 than 100mg but I...

    Libido

    I would love to find a good way to boost dopamine as well. L-Phen and Tyrosine both made me very jittery, probably because they are precursors to not only dopamine but also noradrenaline and adrenaline. As a reminder to the OP- if your doctor doesn't or wont order the labs you want, you can...

    How to Increase Ejaculate Volume

    May be a myth but I recall eating lots of celery will do it. I think I also remember that Clomid increasesvolume and now that i think about it I think that may have been the case for me when I was on Clomid but I didn't make the connection at the time

    Where do you feel your best?

    I don't mean in a lazyboy recliner....I mean at what T level. For instance, when I was on 100mg per week my TT was in the 800s, but I felt better, had more libido, and was less greasy on 60mg per week with TT around 550. I'm curious as to why that is but perhaps we all need different amounts...

    Should You Apply Testosterone Gel or Cream on Your Testicles for Best Absorption?

    When I was on a compounded cream I applied a small portion to the scrotum a few times a week. DHT levels increased substantially doing this. No issues with irritation using the compounded cream which was not alcohol based.

    Poll: How many are using injectable vs. transdermal TRT?

    Currently on injections. Like it for the ease of use and not having to do daily. Also very easy to adjust dose and insurance covers it. Used creams for four or five months. May have felt a slight boost in libido on the cream but I think it was because it was a non alcohol based cream and I...

    Skin Changes

    For what it's worth here is some info I found As An Antiandrogen Although a side effect, the antiandrogen property of ketoconazole is chiefly responsible for the effectiveness of Nizoral shampoo in the treatment of hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss. It...

    Skin Changes

    When I was on 100mg/week plus HCG I was very oily with shoulder and arm zits. That cleared up holding at 60mg plus HCG. Not sure those are good skin changes lol.

    Is the cortisol issue that it is usually too high or too low? Thanks for all the help guys

    Dr. Neal Rouizer on Thyroid Treatment

    So does it make sense to start on a low dose and work your way up with thyroid? Or is it like TRT where there is no start low because it shuts down your own production. I would hate to start on 1/4 grain to only have it shut down my own thyroid production and not give enough to make up for that...

    Med cost

    Goodrx seems to be a great site. I always stayed away from the cvs and rite aid chains thinking they were high cost, but GoodRX showed me that my local Rite Aid is pretty much the cheapest around. Crazy difference in prices from them and the CVS across the street.

    Dr. Neal Rouizer on Thyroid Treatment

    My TSH was high but so was FT4 and my FT3 was normal. My doc started me on a low dose of naturethroid. He wants to run a comprehensive panel in 5 weeks that will include all those and more. Thanks for the info....yet another hormone issue I am chasing

    Aromatase inhibitors other than arimidex?

    I have read that many prefer aromasin. I have no experience with it but perhaps some others will chime in.

    Exactly what I do. 29gauge same needle to draw and inject. Works well.

    Nipple soreness

    Blood work? See some of the stickies for bloodwork needed. One possibility is elevated estradiol but testing will confirm. Assuming your girl doesn't put nipple clamps on you !!!

    Sub Q

    The warming of the t is a great tip. It helps speed up the process when using small gauge like I do. I usually sit down and prep a handful of syringes at one time. Then I just have to grab and inject saving time.

    Sub Q

    I draw and inject with a 29 g insulin syringe. Not the fastest process but works just fine SQ. 99% of the time can't even feel it.

    Stop the Thyroid Madness

    My doc just told me my thyroid is hypo and based on my symptoms he wants me on a low dose of Naturethroid. I will make sure to respond back with my thoughts on Naturethroid after I have taken it for a while.

    Under the skin testosterone injection pain and redness

    I have used T cyp and T enan, which have different preservatives and oils. I have injected smaller amounts more frequently. I have been careful to not pinch the injection site. I have applied pressure and gently rubbed it. Etc. So does anyone have any ideas as to why I get red, itching...

    transdermals actually dosed too high

    This was a response from the lab founder on a public forum when I asked him about the difference. Also when I said closer to 100%, I was a little vague as I believe recall them saying 90+% absorption. Some is the same stuff, but also some other ideas ***** Your blood spot testosterone (T)...

    Cialis-big...red...ears

    Thanks guys. I get some of the others but the red ears are the main thing - I feel like I am wearing a sign that says "Hey babe, guess who just took some pecker meds"!! My lady constantly asks what the heck is wrong with my ears. I didn't know if there was a simple fix (some guys pop advil to...

    transdermals actually dosed too high

    http://www.zrtlab.com/blog/entry/testosterone-elixir-or-dangerous-drug Has anyone read this from ZRT labs? In essence they state that creams are absorbed closer to 100% and most dosages are supraphysioligical. Problem is transdermal blood levels don't reflect in venous levels, but do in...
