    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

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

    Patients taking hormones seem to be at a higher risk of tendon injury

    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...

    Patients taking hormones seem to be at a higher risk of tendon injury

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

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    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?

    Test cyp plus HCG - high estradiol

    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.

    No erections

    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.

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    @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.

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    fair enough, but the lag effect might be significant for some i guess, one option is also that on the first day estradiol is welcome and by the second saturation of receptors would not be needed but e2 keeps on getting produced in quite similar rate even though testosterone gets released less...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    The link you provided mentioned trt induced estradiol as the likely mechanism as well. It also makes sense, feedback loop gone etc. Well, this is why i am saying it's related to E2, on the injection day you have less since none is floating around from the days before. I will for sure check...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    This is what i've been trying to say, i dont see turning to prolactin very useful when 99% sure it comes from too much estradiol in the system, probably many guys are able to blunt those effects by adding more t which makes the ratios better. If that is detrimental in the long run who knows...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    ok thanks for the tip, can you tell me a little about the mechanism by which testosterone injection causes a delayed rise in prolactin, and IF prolactin is causing the symptoms why does more testosterone equal less symptoms? Also you are probably aware that raised estradiol can contribute to...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    Also, further proof, when injecting 250mg of sustanon, the estradiol symptoms strike around day 3, when prop and phenylprop drop vane off. Have tested estradiol and it is not aromatizing at the same rate it does on smaller doses, that amount of sustanon takes t levels above 2500 briefly. So the...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    If you were answering to me i'm not sure what you're referring to, it is clear as day that estradiol follows testosterone, so it makes perfect sense that on the injection day there is less estradiol present and for this reason i feel good in all areas. I feel worse the next day if the injection...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    I would assume that is the case, can't think what else, but you know, on the injection day mood and libido are good, as well as sensitivity, sex feels better, next day not so much for any of those, start feeling better and less moody as the ester has started to decline and less estradiol is...

    Lowering Test Cyp Dosage - Can't Sleep And Irritated

    you dont think it could have something to do with poor t/e ratio, i have felt pretty bad with small amounts that result in physiological levels even when coming from hypogonadal levels, if the dosing was not done daily, but for example twice a week, the first day is usually good no matter the...

    Post injection

    i would use the same muscles on both sides, even in the beginning, you have to get both sides driven in eventually anyway

    Post injection

    It's the benzyl alcohol 100mg/ml in sustanon, when you inject the same muscle multiple times the pain usually subsides, some people are just more sensitive to BA and the only option is to use something else if the pain doesn't go away with time.

    My vitamin D requirements have doubled as I improved my health, lowered my A1C and lost weight, why is that the case?

    Do you think that the aromatase inhibiting effect of vitamin d contributes to the loss of vigor down there

    Safety and efficacy of melatonin for sleep disorders?

    It's amazing how some can tolerate huge doses, while personally i can not take even 5mg much less 10mg without ruining the next day.

    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    Could there be some feedback loop that would cause LH to drop when a natural male is supplementing with high doses of pregnenolone? So just wondering if you could actually end up worse testosterone wise when not on trt, it seems the claim that preg supplementation increases or may increase...

    Is GnRH suppression hurting us?

    If someone has both e2 and testosterone right at the lower limit of range, i don't know if it would be a good strategy, seems like all the participants had a decent e2 number to begin with. I have always had a low e2 in the natural state, hesitant to try anastrozole mono, but i guess trying with...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
