    Feeling of facial/head tightness when testosterone levels rise

    100%. My was sinus and jaw type pressure. I used to get this a lot with propionate because it peaks so quickly.

    Is it okay to inject enanthate Subc using 29g insulin syringe

    I'm going to one up you. 29gauge good but 31ga even better. I inject enanthate daily. Drawing 6.5mg should be easy and relatively quick.

    Need help to get shredded and improve protocol

    At that high TT level, you gotta be carrying around a lot of water bloat. Lower dose and switch to Propionate. Made world of difference for me. There is a reason BBers like propionate during cutting phase.

    "Needing" 300mg a week

    How the hell anyone can sleep on 300mg per week is beyond me. I would be strung out in no time. Even 70mg per week jacks me through the roof. But no way 300mg weekly is sustainable long term. It will bite him eventually and then he can post another dozen videos lol

    Natesto (nasal testosterone spray)

    You can find two dozen threads using the search bar. I will sum it for you though in one word: meh. Very few men ever stick with it (including myself)

    A different dosing strategy with bremelanotide (PT-141) yields dramatically better results

    Many thanks. How many injections per day? Were you also taking multi-day breaks in between injections?

    A different dosing strategy with bremelanotide (PT-141) yields dramatically better results

    Ok I'm game as always to experiment with the microdosing. I plan to start at single 10-20mcg injection and then start tweaking variables like number of injections per day and duration of multi-day break as mentioned above to avoid desensitization. From a practical perspective, how much...

    Zero libido

    I get so confused by this because I've read contradictory info on this forum as to whether DHEA raises or lowers E

    What other supplements are you taking in addition to your TRT regimen?

    I have a drawer full of half-used supplement bottles because I am a sucker for purported benefits. But the only one that has stood the test of time throughout the years is creatine. In fact, there are times where I think creatine > TRT.

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    If you are concerned about shutdown, another option (read rabbit hole) you could try is nasal T gel, which is a very quick acting form of T that minimizes shutdown. You can search for Natesto which is popular brand. A few guys have had success on nasal gel, but it remains somewhat of a niche...

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    First my apologies for the snarky message yesterday as I was in shitty mood at the time. I have respect for you as longtime poster. We just have different opinions here. One of the things I've learned over my TRT journey is that the HPG axis is such a delicate thing. The disruption from TRT...

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    Oh please what a load of bullshit. Great advice. I am not doubting the OP is experiencing problems, but blaming Low T for it is nonsense. No wonder TRT gets such a bad rap in the media.

    Considering starting TRT. My blood work is attached.

    Dude most guys here would kill for those pre-TRT numbers. Listen to the words of wisdom on this thread and run from that doctor. TRT will shut down your natural production and it ain't easy to bring it back.

    New Daily Test Cyp Results

    What was your pre-TRT baseline TT? Was it much lower than your most recent TRT result?

    Its the blend with propionate that spikes the daily peak. Prop is remarkably potent on daily basis

    TRT allergy

    You could try reducing the amount you inject at any time by using more frequent injections (e.g., every other day EOD or even daily) Also, if you're going subq, use a smaller needle like 31 gauge x 5/16.

    Testosterone Cypionate vs Enanthate Ester break down

    The worst I've felt on TRT involved cypionate, but in fairness there were many other variables involved including a different carrier oil (cottonseed versus grape). However, like others have said, I've read countless accounts on forums of guys preferring enan over cyp and rarely the other way...

    A different dosing strategy with bremelanotide (PT-141) yields dramatically better results

    Did you experience any of the anhedonia/blunting that is being discussed as possible side effect?

    A different dosing strategy with bremelanotide (PT-141) yields dramatically better results

    From much of the discussion around here, the problem is multi-faceted, but lack of dopamine is a major factor.

    A different dosing strategy with bremelanotide (PT-141) yields dramatically better results

    Quite possibly the best line I've ever read on this forum. A Cat classic. Hemmingway could not have said it better. You mention a possible "reset" period. Do you think there is a reasonable dose that would provide on-demand libido similar to Viagra / Sildenafil? Let's say once per week...

    T.Cyp 100 mg/week - Night sweats, anxiety

    I've read (and experienced) very similar accounts. My pre-TRT sleep was terrible and included many early morning awakenings. At the right dose, TRT helped me move beyond that. However, at higher doses, I was back to those early morning awakenings with similar over-heating. Not sure if E2...

    T.Cyp 100 mg/week - Night sweats, anxiety

    After that initial test (and symptoms), personally I would have decreased, not increased dose. The resting HR going down is weird though for the 90mg protocol.

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

    The main problem is that most guys have unrealistic expectations when starting TRT because they desperately want to believe the Low T marketing machine. Who wouldn't want to get swole with 24/7 boners all while getting rid of "brain fog"?? Then they find out that TRT does not live up to the...

    Poor sleep / Reaching end of my rope

    Like many on here, I struggled on standalone cream. But there have been couple of threads about idea of using cyp/enan injectable as steady base and then adding dab of cream in morning to spike T earlier in the day (similar to adding propionate). I have always been intrigued by this protocol...

    Poor sleep / Reaching end of my rope

    Probably not since it will result in even less nightly variation, but the dose reduction could. 10mg daily subq is much praised (results in approx 7mg of actual T net of ester, which matches average daily production of healthy young male).

    Poor sleep / Reaching end of my rope

    That's a great question. While the science says otherwise, I definitely noticed a difference in strength/performance and muscle at 100mg weekly (laughably low for BBers), about 10% if I had to quantify. Then again I am a skinny bastard and truthfully, I doubt if anyone other than myself...

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.
