    Starting TRT Soon

    It’s been well known that some men, hyper metabolizers, in the minority, need three times the amount than you’re talking about to achieve hormone levels within the normal range. Response to a set number of mgs is highly variable person to person. He may be very sensitive to hormones and/or...

    High estradiol and SHBG 10wks into TRT (was high on enclomiphene too) - long winded post sorry.

    I would get the Free T higher, 20-25 or higher if you feel the added benefits and other parameters aren’t too far out of range. No mention of hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Remember, a given hormone level on TRT doesn’t have the same effect as a natural level with the regulatory systems in...

    My HPTA recovery log: I have reversed my type 2 diabetes (SHBG 31/glucose 80) and may have never had hypogonadism!!

    I stopped vitamin C three months ago and it’s resolved a lot of my issues. After being off the vitamin C for three months, I went to the dealership for service and had a protein shake out of one of the machines. I felt the same symptoms as when I consume vitamin C. Nausea and feeling mentally...

    Starting TRT in Japan – 250mg Every 2 Weeks. Experiencing Bloating – Advice?

    These long-term success cases on this type of protocol are in the minority. These every two week protocols have higher rates of erythrocytosis. You’re basically shooting your hormone levels into the stratosphere, which is why you’re probably experiencing bloat. Your hormone levels are on a...

    Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT

    I made the mistake of continuing my beta-blocker after starting TRT and experienced low blood pressure that I treated with overloading on iron which increases blood pressure. I always knew I was using excessive amounts of iron to treat an unknown medical condition.

    Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT

    Come to think of it, your symptoms sound a lot like ODing on anastrozole. You weren't prescribed anastrozole were you?

    Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT

    The feeling of being on meth isn't a benefit/side effect of TRT, you have something else going on that needs addressing.

    Fainting, High HCT, Low Ferritin — TRT Vet of 15+ Years Needs Help ASAP

    Your low ferritin may not be a bad thing. Your body may be trying to regulate the hemoglobin, hematocrit and red blood cells caused by the TRT by lowering the ferritin and may not be an issue. You could always change the delivery method to one that doesn't affect hematocrit and hemoglobin as...

    Instant Blood Pressure Spike on Starting TRT

    Testosterone utilizes iron more to create more hemoglobin, hematocrit and RBC's. Check ferritin and iron saturation. How long did it take for these symptoms to appear after your injection? I wouldn't expect answers as to why you're experiencing these symptoms from your endo as they receive no...

    Some men see an increase in other hormones, such as IGF-1 on TRT. As for a reductions of other hormones mentioned, this is less likely in the short term. Nelsen after decades on TRT loss the perceived benefits of TRT and years earlier had tried hCG and had a negative response, years later...

    10 Years on TRT and Only Recent Libido Issues

    Throw iron deficiency in there too. I confirmed iron deficiency from using Bisoprolol, a beta-blocker. My ferritin was seen reducing 14 points every ten days. The beta-blocker without a doubt caused stomach cramping which I believe caused malabsorption. After I stopped the beta-blocker 4 months...

    Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad

    AI's can't affect E2 made inside the testicles as it can only block aromatase. some men have found that ever increasing doses of AI's have zero effect on E2 levels beyond a certain point. Also, lower ferritin on TRT/hCG isn't always a bad thing. The body will try to regulate the H&H be reducing...

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    Something tells me you don't speak from experience, rather it seems like you've created a theory. I never had problems drawing cypionate using 32 gauge insulin syringes.

    Doctors in San Diego

    Feeling normal would mean you have no need for drugs, and surgeries. The american medical system wants you sick and know nothing of general health or what's healthy. Most mainstream medical doctors focus on disease management, and do not focus on healing the patient.

    I need some serious help with ED

    The people that make statements such as these are addicted to carbs and don't want to give up old ways. That dopamine rush, gotta have it! The body makes its own carbs even if you don't consume them. A weak study doesn't mean the study is wrong. It's well known that the carnivore diet can...

    I need some serious help with ED

    This is bad news for doctors, hospitals, and big Pharma. Your doctor can get in trouble if he/she were to recommend the carnivore diet. It’s not supported by the various agencies that write the guidelines for nutrition. Cheerios is highly processed food and cereals are in general very bad for...
