    WAS: 5 months post stopping TRT cold turkey bloodwork , NOW: Wife No Longer Wants Sex

    Your wife took the vows lightly. She gave up a long time ago. I had a brother go 16 years without sex, then finally he cheated and moved on. He was miserable for those 16 years. She never cooked, cleaned or did any of those wife duties. She was a terrible wife. Sorry to say this but your wife...

    TRT Numbers

    Gels are known to increase DHT way more than with injections. DHT can be in 5000-8000 ranges in some cases on topicals while injections would see slightly out of ranges (100>) DHT can interfere with the prostate in aging men. I would highly recommend against using DHT blocker medicines!

    Dialed in on Testosterone Propionate, How to Switch to Cypionate

    I'm all natural. I was referring Jatenzo if someone needed TRT.

    Dialed in on Testosterone Propionate, How to Switch to Cypionate

    This is opposite to how my body responds. I need those big fluctuations over the course of hours rather than days. I have two labs showing am and pm natural levels. My early morning TT 438 ng/dL, FT 8.4 ng/dL and late afternoon TT 103 ng/dL, FT 1.89. This is with a 33-37 SHBG level.

    Dialed in on Testosterone Propionate, How to Switch to Cypionate

    I'll bet it has something to do with being a daily pincushion for life. There's always Kyzatrex.

    Dialed in on Testosterone Propionate, How to Switch to Cypionate

    Half-life is the time it takes for half the medicine to decline to 50% and the trough is your lowest hormone level before you next dose.

    Dialed in on Testosterone Propionate, How to Switch to Cypionate

    You're basically stating all over as far as dialing in your dosage/injection frequency. The strategy is experimentation to see what works best for you. This dialing in on cypionate could take 3-6 months.

    Kyzatrex 3 month results, SHBG question

    You didn't seek out TRT for low numbers, you sought treatment for symptoms. Let's say SHBG is a transport molecule and that it activates T on receptor sites. You don't want to inject twice weekly or daily, so this is your position. It's 2025, Google is your friend...

    Low T, Cryptorchidism, i want optimal

    You need to get your FT to the top end of the ranges or higher! You may need to seek private care through a TRT clinic to get proper treatment. The calculated FT can be off by as much as 40%! Balance My Hormones in Dorset. They offer TRT across Europe.

    Kyzatrex 3 month results, SHBG question

    You're waiting 3 months to do lab work and starting out on too low a dose. Steady states are achieved in 7 days, at which time levels are checked and adjusted. The recommended starting dosage is 200-237 mg twice daily. I was able to achieve a 900+ at peak, 500 at 6 hours consistently at 237 mg...

    PT-141 Appears to work great only when sleeping?!

    A ferritin blood test shows ferritin levels. It’s well known that hCG can negatively affect libido.

    Excited to Join the Community!

    Welcome to ExcelMale. Some men are able to boost energy, physical and mental performance without the need for TRT. Cutting out the standard western diet (ultra processed foods) is a good place to start!

    Open vial degraded after 6 months?

    So changing SHBG levels and therefore a decrease in TT isn’t a biological change?

    PT-141 Appears to work great only when sleeping?!

    Testosterone can increase norepinephrine released from kidneys. So if you’re overdosed on TRT/hCG or you choose a half-life where hormones are consistently elevated, having less fluctuations, are sensitive to hormones in general, this can have an effect of overstimulation and therefore affect...

    Open vial degraded after 6 months?

    Your metabolism changes, day to day, month to month. Days are shorter in the Fall and Winter months. Your thyroid hormones are slightly higher in the winter months to regulate body temp. Your body is always trying to regulate itself. You should also note that the FDA allows deviation of...

    HCG can cause sexual issues and can create an imbalance of many different hormones.

    Maybe there is a hormone imbalance during waking hours that does exists when sleeping.

    New Member -- Will Take All the Advice I Can Get; Initial Questions re Dose

    Theses protocols are ancient and stupid. These protocols see higher rates of erythrocytosis and don't maintain consistent hormones throughout the two week injection interval (works great for a smaller minority of men) and any doctor still prescribing these protocols is out to lunch! The...

    New Member -- Will Take All the Advice I Can Get; Initial Questions re Dose

    There's always oral TRT, Jatenzo and Kyzatrex gel capsules taken twice daily. The oral TRT route makes dialing in less about finding the optimal injection frequency and solely about getting the dosage right. Steady states in 7 days, compared to 4-6 weeks as with injections, makes dialing in...

    New Member: Worse Off than ever after years of TRT, HCG now not working, debilitating insomnia - Please Help !

    You need a reality check! There are no natural men walking around with a TT at 1300, in the absence of abnormally high SHBG, with estrogen <29! The estrogen ranges, which vary greatly between lab companies, are derived from men with TT below 500 and not men on TRT with optimized T.

    New Member: Worse Off than ever after years of TRT, HCG now not working, debilitating insomnia - Please Help !

    This may help explain some things, alcohol can increase estrogen. Estrogen helps with sleep. Some men have bottomed out estrogen on TRT and need hCG together with TRT.

    New Member: Worse Off than ever after years of TRT, HCG now not working, debilitating insomnia - Please Help !

    The cream is maxed out, you reached steady states in 1 week on the cream. When you first started the cream, your T was higher than it is now because of the doubling or stacking of the cypionate. When I first started Jatenzo, I had only just stopped the cypionate, I was stacking the two and T...

    New Member: Worse Off than ever after years of TRT, HCG now not working, debilitating insomnia - Please Help !

    That's not a good sign. You should already be seeing benefits. Your T levels must be declining. You should consider oral T, Jatenzo, Kyzatrex.

    TRT Numbers

    You did it wrong, no wonder your results are low. Back to square one, retest between 4-6 hours after application. Your TT and FT levels will rise within 2 hours after application and decline quickly. I was on oral T and half-life is identical to topical T. I would peak at 1052 ng/dL 2 hours...

    TRT Numbers

    TRT isn't working if you tested between 4-6 hours after dosing. TRT will be working when your TT and FT are near the top end or above the ranges. It may be time for injections injected weekly or twice weekly or oral T Jatenzo or Kyzatrex. If your urologist suggests injections every 2 weeks...

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.
