Hard disagree with the anti-masturbation NOFAP school of philosophy. Pro free expression of one's sexuality as one sees fit.

It's unfortunate for you, but aging and declining health does understandably affect someone's sexual desires. I can't blame your wife for being who she is at this stage of her life. But I do sympathize with you and understand the difficulties you're facing. Good luck to you.

No offense, but I think you're being overly sensitive. I saw some contrary opinions and comments, but nothing that would constitute a personal attack. It's not exactly every day that someone posts about medicating their adult son.

Odd.

My eyes.

I had a case of shingles brought on by arginine and citrulline supplementation (they can activate the latent herpes virus and cause outbreak of cold sores and shingles). I was somewhat "lucky" because my outbreak was on my scalp so I think it was less painful there than it would have been in...

It's been pretty consistent. And it's not dependent on diet. For one thing my diet hasn't changed. For another, prior to TRT I could eat garlic and onions several times a week without the type of body odor I experience now. Prior to TRT, I could go without deodorant most of the time and barely...

Yes, TRT increased my body odor significantly. I had little to none prior.

In general, there is not going to be a separate "feel" to depression from any one particular cause versus another.

So, just to be clear, lots of responses, but no one actually answered the question, did they?

Since when does high MCV = high hematocrit? I've had high MCV, and have, in the past, been diagnosed with macrocytic anemia that has been intermittent and of indeterminate origin but hematocrit was normal.

There are growers, there are showers, and everything in between. 100% natural and normal. There are forums out there that discuss things like jelqing, wrapping, hanging, stretching, etc. that may help keep things loose.

About to restart TRT. Stopped after year because wasn't feeling any difference. This time trying without HcG or AI. New provider (same company) said I shouldn't have been on AI in the first place. Curious to see what happens.

Says cannot ship to SC either.

Any new suggestions for buying syringes for subq injections?

Oh, brother.

All my old man genes turned on last year at 49.

It's normal for levels to fluctuate. Dawn phenomenon. This occurs when your body releases a surge of hormones overnight, which then triggers your liver to dump sugar into your blood. This is an entirely natural process, but people with diabetes cannot properly secrete or utilize insulin to...

I have used Oregon's Wild Harvest, Saw Palmetto Pygeum and it has worked!

Since you mentioned pumping, you can try pumping your balls. It's obviously not a permanent solution, but a good one nevertheless.

If 17 is on the low side, what's the optimum range? Or does it only depend on how one feels?

The FB group led to here, so I'm glad of that, but I left the FB group because, like so many online groups, too many of the guys would rather be jerks in their replies instead of just STFO if they couldn't be helpful or have anything constructive to say.

Thanks, Leesto! I have suffered from all the symptoms of low testosterone for a long time, going back as far as my late '20s and early '30s. I had it tested on a couple of occasions and it was always in the low normal range. To the doctors, that qualified as normal with no consideration of the...

Thanks, Merdock!

Thanks, johndoesmith. I'm glad to know that you had a positive experience. I hope to see a big improvement in life quality too.

johndoesmith, I can tell you the following: Estradiol 21.7 (7.6-42.6). Unfortunately, this was not the sensitive test like I asked for, but it's what I have. Dr. Saya stated that even though it wasn't the sensitive test, that results in that range tend to be accurate. Total Testosterone was 224...

Thanks, endopa-c.

Thanks, CoastWatcher for the welcome. I will take the advice on anastrozole into consideration. Do you agree or disagree that a dose of .25 2x per week is a low/conservative dose?

Thanks, Vince.

Thanks for the info, ERO. I'll definitely keep it in mind and take it into consideration. The doctor said that because my current levels of estrogen are normal but my T levels are low, there was a possibility that estrogen levels could go up too high as testosterone levels rise, therefore he...

Started today. .35 test 2x week / .35 hcg 2x week / .25 anastrozole+dim 2x week. Beginning TT is 224. Beginning FT is 8. Wish me luck.
