    Daily Low Dose T cyp/prop results

    Do you subjectively notice any other HCG benefits?

    Daily Low Dose T cyp/prop results

    Have you tested this protocol without the HCG? (I am wondering how much the HCG boosts your TT levels via endogenous production). What have you experienced as main benefit of HCG? I am also a low dose guy as you may remember, but never had much success with HCG although I have thought about...

    More focus when off TRT

    Most definitely although I have concluded that, as usual, it is dose dependent. When I was on straight propionate, the sharp daily peak provided lots of energy which was difficult to harness. I would often forget what the hell I was doing. TRT reminds me of caffeine - a modest amount...

    Testosterone Cypionate and BPH - advice needed

    Most daily guys including myself have tried 1x or 2x per week and did not like it due to the swings. However, there are several popular threads about guys preferring less frequent injections. Its just personal preference and how your body responds. You've clearly done your homework and...

    Testosterone Cypionate and BPH - advice needed

    Try the much heralded 10mg daily (cypionate or enanthate). Only 70mg per week, but my guess is that you will exceed TT of 700. You have same SHBG as me and I only use 7-8mg daily. There are number of us dosing in 50-60mg weekly range. But even at low dose TRT may aggregate your BPH. Only...

    Inj Frequency

    To echo what was said above, once you get comfortable with Subq injections, moving to daily will be easy. Smaller amounts and you don't have to keep track of your injections day. 5 minute routine in morning like cup of coffee.

    T Propionate protocol

    The ingredient list is printed on the vials I receive from Defy/Empower. You could call one of their pharmacists to ask why the difference between Enan and Prop

    T Propionate protocol

    Empower's Enanthate only contains benzyl alcohol as well (no benzoate) according to ingredients list

    T Propionate protocol

    With the exception of Xyosted, all of the injectables will have some type of preservative since you are piercing the vile multiple times. Its just a question of how much.

    Just got 6m blood results and they're insane - Free T 88 nmol/L or 2500 ng/dL - WTF!!!!

    70-80mg per week would probably put you in nice sweet spot of 700-800 TT. 10mg daily cypionate = 7mg of actual T which is consistent with natural production of healthy young male

    T Propionate protocol

    Yikes. I see that it also "has vasodilating and spasmolytic effects and is present in many asthma and whooping cough drugs."
  14. W

    T Propionate protocol

    Yes, at least according to the ingredient listing. Perhaps to speed up Prop absorption? They both have the 1% Benzyl Alcohol

    T Propionate protocol

    From an older thread, look at differences between the two Empower formulations: Propionate (100mg/ml): Benzyl Benzoate 15% / Benzyl Alcohol 1% as preservative Enanthate (200mg/ml): Benzyl Alcohol 1% as preservative The post below talks about the role of Benzyl Alcohol in initiating a burst of...

    An Unusual Source of Anxiety

    Interesting that you have experienced it with all three Enan / Natesto / Xyosten, which I would consider very different in terms of timing. If your theory is right, one would think Natesto would cause the worst problems for you because of how fast your T drops back to normal on any nasal T...

    Terrible anxiety and constantly at a heightened state on 100mg a week

    Please use mg, not ml so people can understand your dosing. Very hard to follow this thread otherwise.

    T Propionate protocol

    Interesting. I generally steer clear of supplements these days but will try anything for sleep lol

    Natesto + Clomid

    If you had strong libido at your natural T levels, why are you taking Natesto? Is the modest gym bump worth losing your natural libido? Many of us jump onto TRT train in hope of regaining lost libido. But unfortunately, TRT is no miracle cure for that

    T Propionate protocol

    Unfortunately I've been experiencing the same recently despite having lowered the dose weeks ago. It seems like reduced dose definitely helps minimize the worst of it, but something else it going on. I've been investigating the role of histamine in early AM awakenings.

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    So dropping to from 10mg to 8.5mg daily got rid of your early morning wakeups, moodiness, etc.? I ask because I've found that even 1mg more or less can make subjective difference on daily basis.

    Can I use Androgel only occasionally

    I tried doing the same with T cream. It was a major fail as it shut down my natural T (unlike nasal gel/cream which is more short-lived with minimal suppression as mentioned above)

    The TRT benefits are always overhyped by clinics and the TRT community

    You made your point known in the other thread. The TRT industry is a business like any other. Educate yourself, experiment, analyze and then move on if its not for you.

    Most people don’t need TRT

    I agree with you on many points having the learned the hard way over the last several years that TRT is not the panacea promised by the low T marketing machine. I frequently question why I do TRT considering the time and money involved. The biggest disappointment for has been zero...

    All I’ve learned in 4 years of TRT

    Thanks for the write-up. Sounds like you are doing well. Always good to hear the success stories. Why not include delts for shallow IM? Quads can be tricky as I'm sure you know by now. On the water retention following injection, have you considered more frequent injections? Smaller...

    Can 5/16 needle be used for shallow IM (deltoid)?

    Interesting you say that because I've had couple drops of blood in when experimenting with 5/16 in delts the last several days, making me wonder how much T was lost. I am nearing conclusion that the 1/2" needles are definitely the way to go for shallow IM. Oh well, that is what experimenting...

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    Usually around here people reference the gross amount of T including the ester (100mg weekly in your case). However, it is good to know the actual amount of T net of ester (70mg weekly / 10mg daily in your case) when comparing your dose to what a healthy young male produces naturally on a...

    Can 5/16 needle be used for shallow IM (deltoid)?

    Same here. Not much subq tissue to pinch. When flexing deltoid, it feels like thin layer of skin over the muscle so it does seem possible hit the IM. As you say, worst case is subq injection instead of IM. I will keep experimenting for couple of weeks with the 5/16 into delt and report back...

    Can 5/16 needle be used for shallow IM (deltoid)?

    My intention is not to rehash the endless IM versus Subq debate around here. I am merely curious whether a shorter 5/16" needle can be used in deltoid for shallow IM. Most including myself would typically use a minimum of 1/2" for shallow IM. However, I find that 1/2" occasional gives a...

    T Propionate protocol

    Many of us have had similar problems. In my experience, I often get immediate relief on the early morning wakeups by lowering the dose. It sucks, but it is a balancing act. T versus sleep.
  31. W

    Less than 50 mg of T per week

    That's good news as I recall you trying bunch of different protocols. What's your TT on that dose?
