Stopped HCG, better libido and daily morning wood.

HCG never meshed well with me. And it wasn't the E2 either as high E2 on just TRT for me doesn't really have negatives. Not sure why but my body didn't like HCG

Caffeine Induced Emotion Blunting- Pregnenolone Crash

It's possible it was lowering before already, but I was feeling fine and it was a pretty profound change after the caffeine reaction. But yea, I think probably Hydrocortisone over Prednisone though, as the latter is very strong. Years back I have taken HC "as needed" when I had low...

Caffeine Induced Emotion Blunting- Pregnenolone Crash

Hello, Used to post on PeakT's forum years ago like back in 2015-2017. Since then I have pretty much been well and dialied in on a TRT protocol (I do 0.3 mL 2x a week). I don't take an AI, and things like high E2 or low SHBG (this declined from 25 over the years) have not really affected me. At...

What does low shbg actually mean ?

I'm also low SHBG now at around 13 but don't really feel negative effects from it. My E2 is high at 50+ as well with a T of 800 but never created problems. Years ago when I started TRT in 2016 I was around 25 or so. But I've also gained a lot of weight since then, I was kind of underweight before.

anxiety spike on BPC157?

It seems possible, BPC-157 has some weird effects in some people. I haven't seen anxiety reported as much as anhedonia though, particularly with the oral form.

TRT doesn't cause deficiency of Preg/DHEA/Prog and HCG doesn't fix it

I used to post on PeakT's forum years ago. For some time TRT did lower my cortisol, pregnenolone (but not DHEA), and supplementing preg didn't always help, but then eventually this issue kind of just stopped happening. My body must've gotten used to it. I don't even use HCG and I just do TRT...
