    So who is happy with TRT? Who wish they never started?

    I’ve been on TRT for about 7 years. No regrets. I’ve tried enanthate, cypionate, cream, and propionate and like them in roughly that order. Tried just about every injection protocol too, eventually settling on EOD enanthate. If I have any complaints, it’s that I’m jealous of the guys that...

    High testosterone and estrogen levels

    You and I have had a lot of similar experiences. I don't mean to argue with you or refute what you're saying at all, but just to offer a different perspective... I also felt great on the cream but for whatever reason that feeling subsides after a period time. I've noticed this with other guys...

    High testosterone and estrogen levels

    My first trial with cream was 2 clicks AM of 20% cream. I had similar issues. Adding one more click in the evening (2 clicks AM, 1 click PM) resolved that issue. I imagine 2 clicks AM, 2 clicks PM would also work. I’m not convinced that E2 has a negative effect on erectile function for me. I...

    Does TRT increase tendonitis?

    I had chronic issues with my achilles tendon on my left ankle. Dealt with it for years before beginning TRT. Interestingly enough, TRT effectively cured it. It still pops and cracks immediately after getting out of bed, but no longer causes pain/interferes with daily activities like it used to...

    All About Oxandrolone

    Thank you for sharing this. How long would you recommend staying on the TC/TE only protocol before returning to the 14 week protocol with nandrolone and oxandrolone?

    Recent Bloodwork - Stay @ current protocol or increase?

    I’m aware of that theory. Didn’t work for me.

    Recent Bloodwork - Stay @ current protocol or increase?

    I think EOD is worth a shot. I definitely feel best on that schedule. As a side note, people often suggest that more frequent injections can lower E2. Given the same total weekly dose as a less frequent injection protocol, my E2 on more frequent injection protocols goes up.

    Recent Bloodwork - Stay @ current protocol or increase?

    Can you describe what symptoms you were experiencing that you thought were the result of high E2? I've been at this for years now and after a lot of trial and error my current approach is to simply ignore E2. Mine is regularly higher than yours. E2 should follow TT/FT levels...if one is high...

    Switching from Cypionate to Enanthate or cream?

    I prefer Enanthate to Cypionate. That said, my first suggestion would be to inject EOD or daily to see if the smaller spikes make a difference in your anxiety levels. The only time I've experienced anxiety was when I first started TRT and was injecting once per week.

    Are higher T levels safe

    I've shaved and not shaved and got good results with the cream either way, so I would say no it is not 100% necessary. Though shaving certainly makes it easier to spread the cream.

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.
