I tend to side with this, but with all the literature the folks saying there is no such thing as too much are making fools of themselves, on the low sodium front nobody is saying you don't need any salt, so the other extreme is missing. One big argument is looking at whole foods, did our...

The good thing is, if some contamination were to occur, subq will be better than IM, if you wipe the rubber with alcohol i think chances of contamination are really slim. Are you injecting in stomach area? Would be interesting to see what kind of blood levels you are getting, please post...

It's "funny" how divided the stances on salt, among many other things are, how can both be scientifically right at the same time, we will probably never reach a consensus on this

trial and error, seems highly individual, why not try taking half of what you are currently taking?

I have had this happen as well, probably fluid retention, or reaction to carrier oil or BB

It always puzzled me how and why he ended up using 5000iu, and no less than twice per week, the most sensible scenario is that pregnyl etc come in that and are labeled single use.

How long do you think it takes for BB to leave the system after injection?

If this is the case, that DHT will keep balls in check, how come there is no product for trt that combines test and dht.

Did you have the high hematocrit on nebido as well as the solid erections? What was your protocol like on nebido?

I'm sorry if it has been asked frequently but have you tried cutting the d out for a while, seems you are hellbent on taking it daily? And please elaborate how you can have a parathyroid problem with none of the markers? You are supposed to check albumin corrected or ionized calcium as i'm sure...

Yes i was going to say this too, i have personally been able to reap benefits of testosterone after stopping for quite some time.

Have you considered the possibility that you might be enjoying a rebound effect of your hormonal axis re-activating after years on trt...probably a little premature to be declaring having found your sweet spot on the hypogonadal range at this point, also you took one afternoon snapshot of your...

So you never had elevated parathyroid hormone levels but still thought this was your problem, nevertheless this got me thinking it might be worth testing, i had mildly elevated calcium years ago, still within limits, was thinking albumin corrected Ca and parathroid will reveal the problem for sure.

So how many weeks are you off trt, don't get me wrong i really hope it's not just a rebound effect but we have certainly seen how symptoms tend to creep up again. I guess there is always hope when something has changed, be it food or exercise or body composition, stress, sleep etc. Personally...

So daily injections, that through is not super low, meaning you are not spending alot of time on low levels, even so if the peak is double that it might still be bit too low, might be another story if you were injecting IM, lots of anecdotes where subq results in lower levels.

Be sure to report on the LH once you get there.

Fascinating, how much clomid per week and how often, how often do you inject the cyp?

This supports the idea that hcg mono does not require huge doses like often claimed, goes well with the other study showing over baseline ITT on 500iu eod.

Does wellbutrin make you finish faster? Are you doing these subq or IM, i'm currently also taking 500hcg 75fsh MWF, no testosterone as i'm going to get labs done soon to see what testicles are putting out.

So you are not on trt? Have heard what you are describing from people on trt. Maybe you should get some labs.

I dont think 10mg a week reduction should have that effect, you're surely getting more testosterone from your testicles with hcg than what you're losing dropping the dose.

If you just dip your toes in carbs it's not surprising you crave simple carbs, if on the other hand you have been really taking in calories from complex carbohydrates there might be other issues.

exogenous testosterone seems to have interaction with ghrelin, not sure if direct or not

Your through still seems little too high considering it's still pretty infrequent injection schedule, why not give lower numbers a go...

Calcium is one reason i never jumped on the bandwagon. Raw milk would be ideal.

Interestingly, women suffer fewer muscle injuries, and more ligament ruptures than men (Arendt and Dick, 1995; Sewright et al., 2008; Hägglund et al., 2009; Edouard et al., 2016; Leblanc et al., 2017). These observations are consistent with lower sinew stiffness in women than men. Since knee...

Elsewhere there was just a discussion with many reports of tennis and golfers elbow upon starting trt. Have also had this happen myself.

There must be something missing here, that contributed to low ferritin levels, since that low t should not tank your levels, also did you feel like a god and just got off due to low number of ferritin or did you have symptoms?

So on top of prop you are still using HCG? do you pin prop IM daily and how many different spots do you rotate, personally i dont think i could live with the pip, other than that daily propionate seems ideal for trt.

Every 3.5 days on cyp should actually be pretty low fluctuation, my guess is either cyp is not good for you, or the dose results in unfavorable balance of testosterone metabolites. Pretty sure erections will not appear but i guess waiting until 6 weeks has passed would be smart anyway.

@Cataceous does dht lag behind as well, i guess in addition to prolactin DHT should be tracked as well when solving issues on protocols, where i live it's really expensive though.
