Yes, with the combination of symptoms and low free T and E2, you should "at least consider that TRT is the answer."

I've been using prop in MCT oil for some time now and I don't notice any issues I could relate to a shorter half-life.

Yes, combining either of those with enclomiphene will result in more anabolism than you have now. Absorption of the oral testosterone is decent fasted, good with a moderate amount of fat, best with alot of fat. Yes, you can compensate for the lower bioavailability of taking oral T with less...

Poor metabolic health is a major risk factor for prostate cancer, which results in high levels of insulin (one of the most potent growth factors for cancer), inflammation, etc. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38260162/ TRT is not. Men with active prostate cancer are even being treated with TRT...

I don't know why. It's possible that many people feel at least slightly worse with many supplements but are not monitoring their well-being closely enough to notice. These are often small magnitude effects that could be lost in the ups and downs of normal life. Even when the effects are...

Do they? I've never heard of any. There's nothing allergenic in there for the immune system to react to.

The individual vendors post their test results in the respective places where they advertise and interact with customers. I can link you to a more general thread about readalot's efforts to encourage more comprehensive testing: Readalots Enhanced Testing

I have some peak levels from an overdosed pharmacom prop (I was running 25 mg a day of something labeled 50 mg/mL but I think it was actually 100 mg/mL based on labs) and some peak levels from 30 mg daily of a correctly dosed prop. I'm not going to get into the details at this time, except to...

Various UGL sources. Readalot has been doing a remarkable job encouraging some of them to improve their testing. Between purity, metals, sterility, and now endotoxin, there's more documentation available for some of these UGL products than you can get from Empower or other pharmacies. They also...

What's the longest you've stayed on propionate? I experienced overstimulation followed by an evening crash in early days with prop, but it eventually went away. IME, the fully-adapted-to-propionate state is superior to the same point in an enanthate protocol, but I know everyone reacts...

You have concocted quite an elaborate narrative here. In practice, when people stop enclomiphene, their levels quickly revert back to their original baseline. Any receptor sensitivity changes that may have been caused by enclomiphene do not endure.

Fair points on high dose TP still being strongly suppressive of HPTA. The fact remains that it feels better for most people at any given dose than similar dose of long esters (even when doses/levels are "absurdly" high). What do you think the mechanisms are for that?

It is certainly this - the only doubt surrounds the exact mechanisms, whether it be effects on dopamine receptor sensitivity, less HPTA suppression near the trough, giving tissues a break from constant high levels, etc. There is no doubt though that greater fluctuation is what causes "better...

I try to use it at least a couple hours before "activity". It starts working quickly though, certainly within an hour, and probably peaks at around 3 hours. It isn't a game changer, but it can be a significant boost to libido and probably more so erectile function and orgasm intensity.
