    Pregnenolone IR vs SR

    Regarding preg, for me, n=1, 60 mg of IR (Pure) resulted in a prog level of .7 ng/ml. 50mg of micronized SR (MRM) resulted in a prog level of 1 ng/ml. 25mg of lipid matrix did not move my prog level, .1 ng/ml.

    Tadalafil: Northstar rxLLC/Alembic/Ajanta

    Any opinions on the efficacy of these three Tadalafil mfg? Currently taking prescribed Ajanta 5mg daily through local pharmacy and not having much effect. I can switch to either Northstar rxLLC or Alembic. Never heard of either of these. I believe both are in the US and Ajanta is out of...

    Flaccid penis fluctuations

    You want to get your DHT up, and you haven't tried gel on the scrotum, try Atrevis gel on the scrotum. My DHT level was 359 (12-65).

    Flaccid penis fluctuations

    Hmmm. I'm always way over the top of the DHT range (with TT in range and FT slightly over the top) and don't feel great. Wonder if it's because of the HCG increasing 5AR?

    Injecting cypionate sub-q

    Where do you inject? That is a small needle. I'd like to switch to EOD using this size of a needle but last time I tried subq EOD with 8mm 31g needle my T level went down quite a bit. I was injecting in my outer thigh. Thanks.

    Flaccid penis fluctuations

    Thanks. Had the same thing with Dox. I also take tadalafil daily so that may have added to the hypotension. I was told to take Flomax after dinner so it will be eliminated slower via food. I need an alpha blocker as everything is tight down there, I believe due to excessive norepinephrine.

    Flaccid penis fluctuations

    Do you take it every day? What's the dosage (of Dox and Flomax)? How long have you taken it? My urologist prescribed Flomax. I mentioned Doxazosin to him, and he stated that Flomax is much better and targeted, wouldn't give me Dox. I've taken both off and on. Dox gives me some dizziness...

    Sensitive Estradiol at Quest

    Warning! If your doc provides a written lab order for sensitive estradiol and you go to Quest, they will not give you the sensitive test unless the specific test code is written on the order by your doc. Second time I have been to Quest with a written order and had to battle to get the...

    New Atrevis Hydrogel Based Testosterone Cream from Empower: Surprising Results!

    Not really. Actually was at the top of range with injections. Had heard about Atrevis and its results and wanted to try. With Atrevis (scrotal) my DHT was like 4 times the top of the range.

    New Atrevis Hydrogel Based Testosterone Cream from Empower: Surprising Results!

    E2 sweet spot, it's a ratio

    @Cataceous is on the money. I was on scrotal gel. DHT was at 287 with 1 click (50mg). Adversely affects E and increases NE. All other lab values were good. No libido, poor EQ etc.

    Who Started TRT w/ "Normal" Levels @ What Age?

    I agree with Systemlord, your free T isn't good. It is your free T and not total T that you should be focused on and is what gives you the positive T effects. See how you feel with your free T towards the top of the range (take TRT and/or reduce SHBG). Many men on here are over the top of the...

    Testosterone cream applied on genitals

    I don't have an exact number, I'm sure someone will, but it is very high. Most that apply there are over the top on T and DHT ranges. Only one click for me (50mg) had my FT over the top and my DHT three times the top of the range.

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.
