    Information about Proviron

    Actually, I have been having the temptation, (if proviron were able by itself of giving me libido, wellbeing sensation, proper erectil function, and good mood), to use it to try to come off TRT, since it is almost not supresive to HPTA at usual doses. It is true the recovery would be slower...

    Information about Proviron

    if you feel ok when starting TRT but then shitty after 6 weeks on it, then you need is to have lab work done and see your numbers, I guess you have being on cypinate T, it reach steady state at about 6 weeks from the first dose, so at that point may be you need to fix your protocol (not to stop...

    Information about Proviron

    I have been reading papers about proviron lately and I honestly wish I would have known about it before I started TRT. At that time because of working and studing plus more stressing situations I was hardly slepping 4 hours at night for several months , that was with 47 years old, I ended having...

    Trt and heart disease

    Same for me. I'm 53 years old, but after 5 years on TRT, I look younger than 53, more manly, more energy, more sexy. I don't say that, it is my 29 years old wife who felt in love with me 2 years ago by mistake, thinking I was younger. When she knew about my trt and my real age, she said it was...

    Trt and heart disease

    Not that easy. Biology is very complex and there is much to be know yet. I've never had problems with blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, been overweight, or bad lipid profile.

    Trt and heart disease

    I don't know. But it is known low testosterone is associated with higher cardiovascular morbidity. The damage must be at endotelial (vascular) level, plus some genetically prone individuality.

    Trt and heart disease

    Prior to TRT 5 years ago, I was having ventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, plus auricular extrasystoles, 2 years later I was asymptomatic and echocardiogram showed normal. When I try to come off TRT, arrithmia comes back (along with hypogonadal symptoms) to remind me why I am on TRT.

    HCG DOSE FREQUENCY FOR MEN - FERTILITY & TESTICULAR ATROPHY

    @Nelson Vergel, Thank you for the information!! Dr. Saya's study is specially informative and specific answer for my question. I'll start using 500 IU eod instead 250 IU ed. My only concern is the raising of E2, so I'll also try adding some Anastrozol, even when E2 from HCG is not produced...

    Getting off TRT for fertility

    Hi Johnny, thank you. For now I am keeping on HCG monotherapy: 250 IU two consecutive days and rest the third day, also added anastrozole 0.25 mg E3D, no exogenous testosterone, I am feeling fairly ok, no strong libido but things are working, it is just the begining, I have to wait and see, if...

    Clomiphene Citrate for Male Hypogonadism

    Of course should be taken in consideration by a doctor, for each individual case, I just can say there are many studies showing clomid is very safe, incidence of visual problema are uncomonly reported and is directly correlated with the dose... 25mg eod is unlikely to produce visual problems.

    Clomiphene Citrate for Male Hypogonadism

    I think visual problems are not so frequent and is something related to higher doses, so it is not to be taken in considertation in first place...

    HCG DOSE FREQUENCY FOR MEN - FERTILITY & TESTICULAR ATROPHY

    Hi everybody. I would like to hear from people having experience (or having knowledge) on different hcg dose frequency protocols. Basically I want to know if every day lower dose has any different outcome, better o worse, compared to every other day, every 3 days, twice weekly etc. I mean, same...

    Clomiphene Citrate for Male Hypogonadism

    Yes, no doubt clomid helps, but unfortunately it only do its jobs while taking it, once you stop, numbers come down to the initial state... And for some men, like me, it kills sexual drive, it seems to be depending more on age, I am 53. For me clomid is not worthy cause it gives me good numbers...

    Getting off TRT for fertility

    Well, the update is not a good new: when adding HMG (LH + FSH) and increasing hcg dose to 250 IU EOD, while keeping TRT, libido and erectil funtion got progresively worse, also hmg is very expensive so I quited that aproach, stoped TRT and stayed on hcg 250 iu eod + clomiphene 25 mg eod, and...

    Clomiphene Citrate for Male Hypogonadism

    Now I desire fertility but I can't use clomiphene. However, Tamoxiphene don't kill my libido; in spite of giving me other physical side effects, libido and erections are ok. But there are concerns about some damage in DNA (affecting the sperm). I have been searching for studies that confirm that...

    Considering weaning off of TRT

    Tadalafil seems to increase testosterone levels by itself. In other hand, It doesn't improve libido by itself, but the fact of feeling able to have easy erections give me big libido with tadalafil.

    Getting off TRT for fertility

    Right, I was on testosterone plus HCG 250 IU every 3,5 d, only to avoid testicular atrofy, cause at 52 (now 53 y/o) I didn't expect to desire more children, but things changed, my old wife left me, and then a young 29 y/o woman came to my life, now we want children, and I was amazed to see my...

    Considering weaning off of TRT

    I wish I had TT 550, then I would never have sterted TRT. Actually I feel great at 550 TT under trt. I don't say everybody is the same, but probably your problem with libido and low performance was not about low testosterone.

    hCG: An alternative approach for the treatment of low testosterone

    I have seen the complete video and I find it very impacting about the use of hcg, I wish it was a new light, but it is from in 2014 and I can’t see any movement toward using systematically hcg instead of testosterone... then somethig doesn’t work very well when treating testisterone deficiency...

    Testosterone Dose and Cardiomyopathy/left ventricular hypertrophy development

    I am in Spain, and I have never heard about Dr. Rand, but 200 - 300 mg/week is a dose for the bodybilding world, and is obviously insane. In other hand, younger men are likely to tolerate better higher doses, but it doesn't mean it is ok. Anyway, check with the lab and see where your levels...

    Testosterone Dose and Cardiomyopathy/left ventricular hypertrophy development

    Everything in excessive dose may be harmfull. For me 200mg/week of testoterone is unthinkable and I actually doubt about anybody's need of such doses. In my particular case, I started using viagra in my early 40's for some low sexual performance, I didn't had any idea of testosterone defficiency...

    Med student here. I have been on TRT since 21. Here is what I have learned about ED, libido and hormones.

    No E2 issues apart of less libido, but to be honest, I don’t use to do labs very often; I did it often but at the beginning of starting TRT, I soon learned to identify high or low levels of E2 by correlating the way I felt with the labs results… and today the way I feel is the main indicator for...

    Med student here. I have been on TRT since 21. Here is what I have learned about ED, libido and hormones.

    In my particular case, I have found that having very steady levels of testosterone doesn't help on keeping good libido. I have tried several protocols over 4 years on TRT, and it is true that there is a honey moon period when changing protocol, but I have failed to keep a sweet spot at any dose...

    Is It Possible To Control Estradiol Without Blocker?

    En ampolla lo veo difícil, a no ser que sea re-envasado en un vial. Aquí en España se comercializa como Reandron, que se presenta en viales de 1 gr/4ml, tiene una tapa de goma, con lo cual es muy fácil de dosificar, a razón de 100 mg/4décimas. Yo jamás lo usaría a dosis completa, porque el...

    Is It Possible To Control Estradiol Without Blocker?

    May be somebody wonder how I manage my protocol in such unusual and personal way, and adjust it as my own will. I understand that not everybody can do that since they depend on their doctor opinion and rules. Well, I have the advantage that my wife is a family doctor and I am a physician too...

    Is It Possible To Control Estradiol Without Blocker?

    I have been on TRT for 3 years. I tried unsuccessfully to go off trt sometimes because of high estradiol and testicular shrinking, but for the last 8 month I seem to have found my way to control both issues, and no use of any AI. I even tried every day testosterone Injections but the very stable...
