    Thinking about starting trt

    Yes, I suggest a starting dose of 120-150mg at the OP's choice because nobody can tell him exactly what his best dosage will be. From what Ive seen most guys feel best without side effects at this interval of dosages. Also Im confident the chance for someone to get dangerous side effects at this...

    Thinking about starting trt

    120mg is NOT a high dose and IM is superior and more reliable administration method, I will continue again and again stand by these. I see you are very knowledgeable but If I listened to your advice I would be screwed. And yes, some men need higher test levels to feel good for whatever health...

    Thinking about starting trt

    100mg are better than nothing for a starting point and you can get better there, but most men on TRT need higher dosage to resolve their symptoms. So if it turns out that is your case I suggest looking for another clinic That is total bulshit and misinformation. Your test levels are low enough...

    Thinking about starting trt

    Ive seen in practice at what dosages most men feel most OPTIMAL not just sitting within the already compromised reference ranges for total testosterone, free testosterone and estradiol that should not be bluntly applied to men on HRT. A lot of knowledgeable and experienced doctors I know start...

    I disagree to all these, but I guess we would never reach agreements on these points

    Thinking about starting trt

    Your test levels are terrible and you will most certainly benefit from TRT. However, you gotta change your mindset now that you are from now on responsible for optimizing. Keep in mind that TRT will bring you the desired results if you do it PROPERLY and together with: - Optimizing other health...

    TRT (Testosterone Replacement) and COVID-19 Vaccine

    Ive seen such data only for bodybuilding levels, on the other hand we know that estrogen increases immune strength. I believe a strong immune system is an advantage if you get covid. For what's worthy I had the covid last November very easy, just 2 days with a mild temperature. But Ive been...

    Cycling TRT

    Totally agree on that, diet lifestyle and optimising all other health issues should be taken into account on the other hand together with TRT - thyroid, liver, IR, metabolic disease and these are just the most common. But dissecting into the TRT part of all this we should also acknowledge some...

    Cycling TRT

    Generally I agree to that and lets hope that we get more options in the future, but you know many men dont tolerate HCG, with Natesto I guess will be the same

    Cycling TRT

    The healthy young man with good testosterone are very rare today. On another point I dont agree with you is that levels on TRT cannot be compared to endogenous levels, on replacement usually we need to go higher to achieve the same effect. Same seems to be with thyroid for FT3 levels. So very...

    Cycling TRT

    In what context is that? Will a man with low t symptoms no matter the test levels and his natural production online have a better cognition in relation to a shut down man with optimised testosterone in most cases? Which of the two is more likely to have a better cognitive performance?

    Cycling TRT

    At the end we dont know what side effects may occur on our health no matter what we do or dont. But yes I advocate being decisive when the possible benefits to possible negatives have been compared and analyzed. I've started TRT as an optimization, not as a treatment to a severe deficiency. At...

    Cycling TRT

    No, you misunderstood me. I said being shut down is not so important and people are too obsessed with that. I started TRT with almost 600 ng/dl total t and since I feel way better I couldnt care less Im shut down on injections For me using natesto is totally justified if someone feels better on...

    Totally agree and beyound that, even if there was a way to be not fully shut down...why the hell to put the body through this stress and roller coaster?

    Sub Q injections quit working

    @Cataceous I get your point and to summarize it in one sentence the idea is that: It is possible on higher dose to drive down SHBG which will increase the rate of excretion and this can reduce the total t levels build up in the serum. I think it is a very unlikely scenario even if possible from...

    Sub Q injections quit working

    As much as the scientific part of my mind finds all this interesting we know in the practice of TRT its not exactly how it works. At least with me and everyone I observed and have read about it works this way... I mean if you raise your dose with 20mg weekly your total will rise, right? No...

    Sub Q injections quit working

    Seems you have been mixing them together so I dont see how this contributes to the debate :) To me it seems you are one of the guys that absorbs sub q well and Ive never argued that there are such guys, but NOT EVRYBODY is like that

    Sub Q injections quit working

    So far Ive never heard or seen scientific evidence that SHBG value can affect total testosterone value in men on exogenous test? I would agree that can be the case on exogenous production As much as I have been told by the doctors Ive worked with so far total testosterone in the serum is a...

    What does it mqtter the SHBG when in sub-q vs IM Ive stated only about total testosterone difference?

    Sub Q injections quit working

    The testing Ive done is absolutely rigorous and clear - sub q was causing absurdly low levels of serum concentrations in me, my friends, Im 150 percent sure in that and I would bet all my material assets on that The only thing Im not sure is why, but I dont care

    Sub Q injections quit working

    The reality is very different than that for many people and sorry nobody can convince my otherwise since what Ive seen in myself and other people IM will undoubtedly create a sensible serum concentrations in you, while sub q will not dot hat for me

    Sub Q injections quit working

    I dont understand what is so difficult to accept - subq works well for some, for some it doesnt. Why - nobody knows for sure. IM works for everyone. One of my closest friends who is also on TRT - on 200mg sub q he barely managed to touch 900 total t, I was persuading him one year to try IM. He...

    Sub Q injections quit working

    Well let me rephrase it this way... I woudnt encourage anyone starting TRT on sub q, if he is already optimised on IM and has a working protocol to return to why not try it. But as you see Im not the only one for whom this has happened and nor are my friends I know in peraon. No matter what the...

    Sub Q injections quit working

    Something similar happened to me and thats why I will continue to repeat sub q is unreliable method of administration. My test dropped from 1300 to 700-800 on the same dose. Since then Im doing IM and no such anomalies have happened. I would never again try sub q nor advice anyone to do sub q...

    Should I inject hCG IM or subcutaneously?

    I see no any reason to inject HCG IM, unlike testosterone HCG is a water solution and is perfecy absorbed in fat tissue

    Is there a hormonal explanation for extreme reaction to testosterone?

    All of these except the vitamin d are connected to you being castrated most of the time by your "treatment". Except feeling awful you may start getting some really serious health issues with such a regimen.
