extract is what I take. Im not sure about the benefits of the oil. I feel good when I take it, but have to take breaks from it, cause it starts to lose its benefits. I think its because it takes some iron with it, and can affect the gut bacteria some.

Hey Abe, wanted to pass something along to you, cause you said you're not enjoying the trt benefits as much as you did before. I take grape seed oil for the blood thinning benefits, and hopes to also lower my hematocrit. TRT makes your blood thick and when its too thick in some, it can make you...

I surely will!!

Actually, my first few weeks was hell on it, then one day woke up, and felt like the HULK!! Kept that same momentum for awhile, then I added in some anstrazole without doing labs, just thought i was experiencing low estrogen, and did labs, and come to find out, it was tanked. I dont think Im a...

When i started TRT I was injecting twice a week 70mg 2x a week. Was starting to feel good, strong, and had better clarity. Now, Im just fatigue, down, and feeling weak. Dont know if this is cause I crashed my E2(but its been over a month now since that happened), or is it because I lowered my...

I thought I was high, based on symptoms, and I wasnt. I know stupid, without doing labs.

Hey Vince, thanks for replying. I posted labs before, but I will go again. My Total Test-1128 Free Test=36.25 SHBG=17.6 Albumin=4.3 Estradiol=<25 Estradiol Ultrasenstive=6 My doctor says the same thing, that a dose of .5 twice, wouldnt have tanked it. We think it was low end, befor starting...

So I basically tanked it. Does it come back up on its own, or is HCG the only way? I never stopped injections, since low estrogen lab work.

2 doses of anstazole tanked my E2? Thats all I took, cause after the 2nd dose I started feeling funny, and wanted to wait for labs. Good thing I did. Ordered HCG 2 weeks ago, and should be here anyday now, and hoping this helps the problem. I guess my question about staying on trt and not evber...

Is it necessary to take TRT without ever coming off it? Or should one come off it, and just do HCG or Clomid? I see many guys in here saying they have stopped, to give the body a chance to produce on its own, however, I dont think this would be beneficial to me, since I suffer from a pituitary...

Not goodrx, reliablerx! LOL, I did the same thing too at first.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

I started a protocol simply with testosterone cypionate. I have a pituitary tumor, but my endo refused to prescribe injections, despite multiple low testosterone labs. I found a local bio-identical doctor, and he ran my labs again, and prescribed testosterone. Save me a bunch of money, cause I...

Whats the difference in the estrogen test? I got labs drawn 2 days prior to injection, so is this somewhat of a decent estimate? I didnt go to test testosterone, only went for thyroid labs. The testosterone lab was just a random.

Just got first labs done. SEX HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN 17.6 nmol/ L16.5 - 55.9 nmol/L TESTOSTERONE1,128.0 ng/dL 200.0 - 800.0 ng/dL FREE TESTOSTERONE, CALCULATED36.25 ng/dL 4.65 - 18.10 ng/dL ESTRADIOL<25 pg/mL8 - 43 pg/mL HEMOGLOBIN 14.5 g/dL 13.6 - 16.5 g/dL HEMATOCRIT...

TSH Free T3 and reverse T3 have always been in range. My free T4 was the one that kept testing low, and prompt my endo to do a MRI of my pituitary. On levo for that, and thats now in range.

My testosterone is forever low, due to a pituitary tumor. May not ever produce again. Runs usually between 200-320. This doctor wasnt familiar with a SHBG test, cause he's alternative medicine. However, I save a lot of money cause my insurance cover the prescription, cause it gets sent to my...

Thats what Im thinking. Im just hoping my SHBG doesnt show low. If it does, Im still going to every 5 days again.

I know ths question has been asked a few times, but I couldnt find one specific to mine. Anyhow, been on TRT now for a month. Started with 100mg once a week, and was told since I have some body fat, my estrogen is probably high, and I would benefit from injecting at least twice a week. Well, I...

I dont know. I assume cause of my pituitary and thyroid issues. Im taking bromocriptine for a pituitary tumor, and read it can either decrease or increase estrogen. Im guessing its increasing mine, along with trt.

Not going to lie, my diet is shit, and dont work out much, except at work, because my job is very physical. I do miss the gym and do miss being healthy. I got ill with a pituitary tumor, and it caused my thyroid to not function properly(low free T4), cortisol slightly low, and testosterone is...

Thanks for the reply, Im sure thats what he said. Im not sure of the range, he said the cut off for men would be 50, and I shouldnt be any higher than that.

Not sure of the lab range, but I know the cut off was 50, and my doctor said I was way above that, and it explained my symptoms. I believe it was a Estradial sensitive test. Not sure how this extra information would assist in answering the question.

E2 came back high over 180. I've been feeling symptoms, basically been feeling like a walking *****! Wanting to cry about shit, asking my wife if she really loves me, man its pitiful. I've been on TRT for a good month now, at 100mg a week(split doses at 50mg). Was feeling really great at one...

I know this is a pretty broad question, and thats why Im not looking for a exact answer. I started TRT about 2 weeks ago, or maybe 3 now. I've notied the effects this last week, and I wish I would have started it sooner. I guess my question is, how long before I see a increase in my testosterone...

Ok, thanks for that. I've found those labs on Quest for a good price. Its a shame my doctors office wont cover these labs, and would cost me over 1500 for the test, free test, estrodial, SBGH, IGF-1, and DHEA. All the other labs my doctor will cover, but I found I can get these done at Quest or...

Yes, I've read that SHBG is very important in testosterone treatment. I have a Endo, a Primary, and this doctor is a HRT doctor I see locally. He just calls in the prescription, and my insurance covers it. it saves me money. Between dealing with my other medical issues revolving around my...

Total Test 201(very low) 36 years old Free test is 8.9(in the range of the lab) Have not done a SHBG or a estrogen lab yet, but my doctor said he will next visit which is in 2 weeks. He placed me on the test just to see how I tolerated it, and Im following up in 3 weeks, and those labs will be...

Im pretty new to TRT, been on cypionate for about 2 weeks now. My doctor prescribed me .5 ml a week. I took the 1 ml a week and felt shitty, and now Im seeing why. My body wasnt use to that, and thats a huge dose. Ive read some guys stay on .5 ml and get decent T levels. Should have never rushed...

Yea someone else told me that in that group. What would cause that? My pituitary also lowered my free T4, which placed me on levothyroxine, and was one of the main reasons my endo sent me for a mri, cause only my free T4 was low, and t3 and tsh always shows normal. So, Its obvious the tumor has...

My cortisol has been borderline low for a while. Higher acth, and lower total cortisol. I just know TRT made me very tired, and Im hoping its the trt flu, and its not driving my cortisol down further. Im not sure, cause I havent did any blood work, cause I have only had 2 injections. Going to...
