    Many overfixate on testosterone -the thyroid is just as important

    Totally agree, and Im not a big fan if high doses as well, once I step over my sweet spot on anything I feel bad. Also I think its not just about replacing hormones, but optimising and fixing health issues like what Im trying to do regarding my NAFLD. However one clarification: The quotet...

    What is the closes to Sustanon I can get in the USA?

    In the USA the best you can get legally is some blend of propionate and cypionate. But whether it will have the same effect like sustanon - who knows. I personally know that sustanon is what works for me, if it disappears in the pharmacies I would look for reputable UGL source. If you are gonna...

    The longer I'm on TRT, the worse I feel. Idk what to do anymore.

    I know its a possible treatment, but there is one problem. I feel terrible on all low carb diets, Ive tried a few time in the last 10 years and my hunger can never be satiated. Im consuming a lot of carbs now because Im loosing weight and having enough carbs in every meal is the way to eat less...

    The longer I'm on TRT, the worse I feel. Idk what to do anymore.

    Another thing to consider - I for example feel terrible on all kinds of protocols on enanthate and cypionate. It can also be related to the liver. On TRT I can feel good only on sustanon frequent dosing. Have you tried injecting propionate? If not do it - daily, IM. For 2 weeks you will know...

    The longer I'm on TRT, the worse I feel. Idk what to do anymore.

    Many people on TRT elme included experience a lot of issues, because when we started TRT we had a lotnof other health problems that have led to the low t. I would suggest you start checking in details all the health system in your body. My advise is to start with thyroid and liver, its where...

    Is there a hormonal explanation for extreme reaction to testosterone?

    Of course trying to educate the doctor first is the better idea, but in my experience most are stubborn and would not change their views and methods because a patient taught them something especially the endocrinologists. Ive found doctors in other specialities like gastro being much more open...

    Is there a hormonal explanation for extreme reaction to testosterone?

    It may be is, but I have gotten emotional trigger for seeing the same stupidity all over again and again in all continets and all countries in the world. And you would say the doctors are covered by the recommendations of the guidelines saying that it should be injected once every two weeks...

    To HCG or not To HCG

    Most men on TRT need higher test levels to feel optimal, of course free t is more important. I for example feel best around 1200-1300 total t with SHBG of around 30. I dont say you need this much, but for example I know guys who need 1500-1600 to feel really good. Of course some feel best at...

    Is there a hormonal explanation for extreme reaction to testosterone?

    Your protocol is ever 2 weeks, right? If that is the case your protocol is terrible, your doctor is an amateur and is screwing you up. Testosterone should be dosed AT LEAST twice weekly, some folks can get away with once a week injections but not a good place to start. It is normal and EXPECTED...

    Should I be concerned?

    Looks like the test crystalized back, return that thing to the pharmacy. Bad preparation. I've kept testosterone in a fridge for months(dont do that) and nothing like that happened, but after I understood how wrong was that I threw it in the trash.

    Morning wood on exogenous TRT

    Its more of the thing of the circadian rythm and having optimal levels of testosterone is like a prerequisite but not what dictates the process. I also get morning wood, currently on EOD dosing I've also been getting it on 2 times a week.

    To HCG or not To HCG

    I feel terrible on no HCG. My libido drops, erection drops, I cannot orgasm and feel worse after every inproper orgasm. Apart from that my energy falls and my appetite increases, also I get more irritable. I've discovered to tolerate around 700-750 ui HCG per week injected as often as...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    I would not touch that medication, its extremely addictive and If I remeber correctly stronger than caber. You have crashed your prolactine with the caber. What dose did you take?

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    Yes I followed him on this, Im also dropping weight but this happens slow especially with suboptimal thyroid, also got a protocol of supplements from my doctor but most supplements cause me side effects in general so experimenting what I can tolerate I think the side effects I get from...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    Before starting TRT and caber my prolactin was around 370(our scale for men is up to 313), FSH was always below range and empty sella syndrome was discovered on pituitary NMR. I started this dose of caber and brought it down to 160-170 which is considered to be optimal and felt a bit better...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    Im taking 0,50mg and I consider increasing it o 0,75mg. As I have researched such doses should be totally safe a lot of folks take above 1.5mg for adenomas for 10-20 years

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    Well its good you found something that works, but also that liver must be taken care of. Ive made now my top priority fixing my NAFLD which by the way seems Ive had since being a little kid. I started a supplements protocol for the liver receny and lost 8kg in the last 5 months, planning to...

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    You also had the NAFLD, right? I also do and feel good in terms of TRT only on sustanon and terrible on enanthate/cypionate. My doctor suggests I may need fast acting esters due to the liver issue and not cleaving well the longer esters. Wondering if the situation with you may be similar and...

    My Experience On Jatenzo (Oral TRT) Log

    I think this again proves my post that some people me included need fast acting testosterone and quick testosterone fluctuations to feel good. Ive had horrible on enanthate and cypionate and this products are out of consideration ever again for me and I feel good only on frequently administered...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    I have taken vit e 400 ui for the liver, no effect on prolactine. About p5p I know the dosages in which it can affect prolactine are not safe at all and with caber I have ni any side effects which happens very rarely with me for anything

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    Yes, I continue to be on cabergoline. After I started TRT my prolactine jumped on the current caber dose and it is almost on the top of the reference range. Ive never considered lowering my test dose to manipulate prolactine, this seems not effective to me to compromise optimal test levels. If I...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    Prolactin is directly created by cells in the pituitary, I think in the frontal part where it competes with LH and FSH. As I remember the prolactin secreting cells are different than the gonadotropin secreting. And as I have read in most men on TRT prolactin jumps, because the gonadotropin...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    Sometimes we get surge in libido when we change things and hormones. Ive noted that many times but this is not consistent. But I think there is general consensus that high levels of prolactine suppress libido, but be sure too low are even worse. Low levels of estrogen also destroy libido, too...

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    No such mechanism was discovered. Prolactine also ae I have checked regarding my empty sella doesnt suppress dopamine as I know, just out competes it - reduces its action. However dopamine suppresses prolactine.

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    I dont say this should be the case for you, but for me 250 EOD is too high of a dose and brings a lot of negatives

    TRT, HCG, LIBIDO??

    I tend to agree with you, however I can share my experience with prolactin. I battle it since before TRT having empty sella syndrom and started caber in 2019 six months before TRT. My prolactine was 370-400 in our units, the upper range being 312. I got some improvements when I brought it down...
